\  THE  REV.  JOSEPH  SEW  ALL, 

\  HIS  YOUTH  AND  EARLY  :MANH00D. 

By  Hamilton-  Andrew's  Hill,  A,M.,  of  Boston,  Mass. 
\  "Instead  of  the  fathers,  the  children."  Such  a  succession  u^ed 
to  show  itself  with  almost  the  uniformity  of  law  in  tlie  New-Enirlrind 
churches,  when  the  population  was  homogeneous,  and  before  the 
emigration  set  strongly  in  from  the  country  towns  to  the  seaboard, 
and  from  the  seaboard  to  the  West,  changing  all  the  old  condi- 
tions. Examples  might  be  taken  from  nearly  all  the  historic 
churches,  which  it  would  be  interesting  to  collate  and  dwell  upon, 
A  reference  to  one  of  these  churches — the  Old  South,  in  Boston 
— will  illustrate  the  character  of  the  succession  to  which  we  re- 
fer. The  third  minister  of  this  church,  the  Kev.  Ebenezer  Pember- 
ton,  was  the  child  of  parents  whose  names  are  enrolled  amono-  its 
founders,  and  he  wag  baptized  by  its  first  pastor,  the  Eev.  Thomas 
Thacher.  The  Rev.  Joseph  Sewall,  who  became  Mr.  Pemberton's 
colleague  and  successor,  was  a  grandson  of  one  of  the  founders,  John 
Hull,  and  the  eon  of  a  father  who  lived  to  complete  nfty-three  vears 
of  membership  in  the  church,  and  he  had  himself  been  baptized  bv 
its  second  minister,  the  Rev.  Samuel  Willard.  Mr.  Sewall,  in  turn, 
,  baptized  his  eon  Samuel,  and,  on  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  his  own 

I  ordination  and  installation,  welcomed  him  to   official  relations   with 

I  himself  as  deacon.     Deacon   Samuel  Sewall's  son-in-law,   Samuel 

I  Salisbury,  and  his  grandson,  Josiah  Salisbury,  became  deacons  in 

the  Old  South  in  the  years  that  followed;    and  his  great-grandson, 
I  Edward  Elbridge  Salisbury,  who,  happily,  still  survives,  was  reared 

I  ill  and  joined  himself  to  the  fellowship  of  the  old  church  in  which, 

j  from  the  days  of  John  Hull  to  his  own  time,  there  had,  in  his  line, 

/  been  a  seed  to  serve  God  in  all  the  generations.     Other  instances  of 

'  the  kind  might  be  taken  from  the  history  of  the  same  church.     What 

we  have  recorded  is  introductory  to  a  brief  sketch  of  one  person  in 
the  sacred  succession,  one  link  in  the  unbroken  chain,  which  we  have 
traced  and  follovred, 

VOL,  XLVI,  1

4  Rev.  Joseph  Sewall.  [Jan. 

Joseph  Sewall,  eighth  child  and  sixth  son  of  Judge  Samuel 
Sewall  and  his  wife  Hannah,  daughter  of  John  Hull,  the  mint- 
master,  was  born  in  Boston,  August  15,  1688.  Four  days  later, 
he  was  baptized  in  the  Old  South  Meeting-house  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  , 

"Willard,  and  was  named  Joseph,   "in  hopes,"  wrote  his  father  ia  \ 

his  diary,  "of  the  accomplishment  of  the  Prophesy,  Ezek.  37th 
and  such  like  :  and  not  out  of  respect  to  any  Relation,  or  other  per- 
son, except  the  first  Joseph."  Of  his  early  childhood  we  have  occa- 
sional glimpses  in  the  same  diary,  of  which  we  wiii  give  only  one 
here :  ; 

"  1692,  Nov.  6.     Joseph  threw  a  knop  of  Brass  and  hit  his  Sister  Betty  j 

on  the  forhead,  so  as  to  make  it  bleed  and  swell ;  upon  which,  and   for  his  ! 

playing  at  Prayer-time,  and  eating  when  Return  Thanks,  I  whipped  him 
pretty  smartly.  When  I  first  went  in  (call'd  by  his  grandmother)  he 
sought  to  shadow  and  hide  himself  from  me  behind  the  head  of  the  cradle: 
which  gave  me  the  sorrowful  remembrance  of  Adam's  carriage." 

The  name  of  Joseph  Sewall  appears  in  the  catalogue  of  the  Boston 
Latin  School  under  date  of  1696,  but  he  could  not  have  remained  there 
long  at  that  time,  for,  in  the  summer  of  the  same  year,  he  became 
a  scholar  of  Mr.  Peter  Burr,  and  was  under  him  for  three  years. 
After  graduating  at  Harvard  College  (1690),  Mr.  Burr  taught  a 
private  school  in  Boston  for  several  years ;  he  returned  to  his  native 
State,  Connecticut,  in  1699,  and  later  became  a  judge  of  the 
Superior  Court  there.  He  joined  the  Old  South  Church,  February 
4,  1693—4,  with  six  others  ;  among  them,  Josiah  and  Abiah,  parents  f 

of  Benjamin  Franklin.  \ 

In  one  of  Judge  Sewall's  account  books,  now  beloncring  to  the 
New-England  Historic  Genealogical  Societv,  we  find  the  following  -

1892.]  Hev.  Joseph  Sewall.  5 

We  suppose  that  Joseph  returned  to  the  Latin  School  in  the 
autumn  of  1699,  remaining  there  until  he  was  ready  to  enter  colle'Te. 
The  long  period  of  Ezekiel  Cheever's  head-mastership  was  drawino- 
towai-ds  its  close.  In  a  letter  to  Mr.  Burr,  March  31,  1701,  Jud^^e 
Sewall  wrote:  "Joseph  presents  his  service  to  you.  I  hope  he 
thrives  in  his  Learning ;  yet  I  fear  his  genius  is  not  so  well  under- 
stood by  his  present  Instructors  as  was  by  you." 
/  On    the    resignation    of   Dr.    Increase    Mather    as    president    of 

/  Harvard  College  in   1701,   Mr.  Willard  was  made  vice-president; 

I  and  he  would  have  been  called  to  the  presidency,    but   this  involved 

^  the  resignation  of  his  pastorate  in  Boston  and  his  removal  to   Cam- 

\  bridge,  to  which  he  would  not  consent.     He  was  president  of  the 

College  in  all  but  name  until  after  commencement  in  1708.  Of 
Joseph  Sewall's  departure  from  school  and  entrance  upon  college  life 
at  Cambridge,  his  tather  has  left  us  the  follouing  details  : 

1703.  June  28.  '•  I  have  my  son  Joseph  to  Cambridge  in  Austin's 
Calash,  where  he  is  examined  by  Mr.  Jonathan  Remington  in  presence  of 
the  President  and  W  Flynt.  He  answer'd  well  to  IM'  Eemiugtous  Critical

Joseph  Sewall's  theme,  written  as  part  of  his  examination  for 
college,  has  not  been  preserved  ;  but  he  copied  into  a  book,  which 
lies  before  us,  several  Latin  themes,  composed,  as  it  would  seem, 
during  the  spring  of  1703.  We  give  the  subjects  of  these,  because 
they  throw  some  light  upon  the  methods  of  instruction  then  in  vogue 
in  the  Boston  Latin  School : 

Nihil  est  ah  omni parte  heatum.

6  Hev.  Joseph  Sewall.  [Jan. 

Our  good  friend,  the  present  master  of  the  Latin  School,  to  whom 
we  have  submitted  these  themes,  and  several  short  epistles  also 
written  in  Latin  at  about  the  same  time,  speaks  highly  of  all  these 
productions,  and  says  that  he  should  regard  thera  as  very  creditable 
to  any  boy,  and  especially  so  to  one  not  yet  fifteen  years  of  age. 

We  know  little  about  Joseph  Sewall's  life  while  in  college.  In 
1706  he  joined  the  church  in  Cambridge  of  which  the  Rev.  Vr'illiatr. 
Brattle  was  then  the  pastor.  In  January  of  the  same  year,  follow- 
ing the  example  of  his  father  and  his  grandfather,  he  began  to  keep 
a  diary  (for  the  first  year  and  longer  in  Latin),*  and  he  continued 
the  habit,  with  occasional  interruptions,  during  the  greater  part  of 
his  life.  As  a  diarist,  however,  he  was  far  behind  Samuel  Sewall 
and  John  Hull.  The  manuscript  volumes  which  he  left  behind  him 
are  most  disappointing ;  they  mention  few  names,  and  fewer  inci- 
dents, particularly  during  his  residence  in  Cambridge,  and  contain 
little  except  a  record  of  his  daily  spiritual  exercises  and  experiences, 
with  occasional  notes  of  sermons  by  ]Mr.  Brattle  and  others.  He 
subjected  himself  to  the  most  rigid  introspection,  analyzing  hia 
thoughts  and  motives  with  merciless  severity  ;  and  he  put  upon  paper 
the  results  of  these  microscopic  observations,  with  catalogues  of  all 
his  sins,  those  of  omission  and  those  of  commission  being  separately 
classified.  In  reading  his  inexorable  judgments  upon  himself,  we 
have  been  reminded  of  what  ^Macaulay  says  of  John  Bunyan  and 
his  harsh  and  unsparing  self-accusations  :  "  Many  excellent  persons, 
whose  moral  character  from  boyhood  to  old  age  has  been  free  from 
any  stain  discernible  to  their  fellow  creatures,  have  in  their  auto- 
biographies and  diaries,  applied  to  themselves,  and  doubtless  with 
sincerity,  epithets  as  severe  as  could  be  rpplied  to  Titus  Oakes  or 
Mrs.  Brownrigg.  It  is  quite  certain  that  Bunyan  was,  at  eighteen, 
what,  in  any  but  the  most  austerely  puritanical  circles,  would  have 
been  considered  as  a  young  man  of  singular  gravity  and  innocence." 

Mr.  Sewall's  class,  that  of  1707,  closed  ita  course  of  college  study 
several  months  before  commencement-day.  On  the  fly-leaf  of  one 
of  the  diaries  we  find  the  following : 

"  M'.  Remingtoii's  Speech  to  his  Pupills  at  their  dismission  March  5, 
1706-7. 

"  1.  You  know  how  you  have  spent  your  time;  if  idlely  redeem  the  little 
that  remains,  for  the  eyes  of  your  Pareuts  are  upon  you;  learisiug  will  be 
of  use  to  you  in  every  condition. 

"2.  See  you  carry  it  decently  and  as  becometh  you,  without  haughtiness. 

"3.  Come  into  Prayers  duly;  this  will  set  an  example  to  your  Juniors; 
show  that  you  do  it  for  conscience  sake. 

"  4.  Beware  of  Drinking  and  Card  Playing.  These  make  the  Colledge 
stinls. 

•  One  of  the  "  laws  and  liberties  "  of  the  College,  -which  appears  upon  its  records  in 
the  Latin  as  well  as  in  the  English  ianguaffe,  was,  "  That  the  scholars  shall  never  use  their 
mother  tonpiie,  except  that  in  public  exercises  of  oratory,  or  such  like,  they  be  called  to 
make  them  in  En;:lish." 

The  first  graduation  exercise  in  the  English  language  was  at  commencement,  1763.

"  5.  Subordinate  all  other  studies  to  that  you  especially  apply  yourself 
to.     Get  some  Author's  Scheme  perfect. 

"  6.  Above  all  Study  Christ;  there  is  great  sweetness  and  profit  in  this 
Study. 

"  Concl.  I  shall  rejoice  at  your  Prosperity  and  "Welfare." 
On  the  28th  of  March,  Judge  Sewall  tells  us,  Joseph  "pronounc'd 
his  valedictory  Oration."  In  his  own  diary,  under  this  date,  the 
young  man  says  :  "Assisted  in  pronouncing  ray  oration.  Praise 
God,  and  see  you  trust  in  him  alone.  God  ordered  it  so  as  that  I 
had  not  occasion  for  pride.  Pray  and  see  you  do  not  expect  applause 
from  men." 

On  the  8th  of  April,  Judge  Sewall  writes  again  : 
"I  go  to  Cambridge  and  carry  Joseph  a  small  piece  of  Plate  to  present 
his  Tutor  with,  Bottom  mark'd,  March  5,  1706-7,   which  was  the  day  his 
Tutor  took  Leave  of  them;  price  39s.   2d.     View'd  his  Chamber  in   the 
President's  Plouse,  which  I  like." 

Whether  it  was  the  custom  at  the  period  of  which  we  are  writincr, 
for  the  regular  studies  of  the  Senior  Class  to  terminate  in  the  sprinn-, 
and  what  the  seniors  did  between  March  and  July,  we  are  unable  to 
say  ;  but  most,  if  not  all,  of  them  remained  at  Cambridge  for  post- 
graduate studies,  after  they  had  taken  their  first  degree,  and  those 
who  were  expecting  to  enter  the  ministry  studied"  divinity.  The 
room  which  Joseph  Sewall  was  now  to  occupy  was  in  the  house 
built  by  President  Dunster  "  by  solicitations  among  his  friends  and 
by  personal  sacrifices  ;  "  *  during  the  administrations  of  Dr.  Mather 
and  Mr.  Willard,  only  a  portion  of  it  had  been  required  for  the 
president's  use.  It  was  pulled  down  to  make  way  for  the  new- 
building,  Massachusetts  Hall,  erected  ir  1720. 

1707,  April  15.  "I  discoursed  a  long  time  with  Wigglesworth,  Oaks, 
Webb,  concerning  our  Christian  duties,  as  forsaking  the  word  wholly, 
living  to  and  loving  God,  Christ,  watchfulluess  over  each  other,  &c," 

April  16.  "The  President's  life  and  recovery  and  the  College  for  their 
reformation  and  welfare  are  strongly  to  be  prayd  for."         Joseph  Sewall 

July  2.  "Commencement  Day  is  fair  and  pleasant.  .  .  .  Got 
Joseph  a  Table,  and  Bread,  which  he  wanted  before.  "Went  into  the 
Meeting-house  about  11.  3P  Willard  pray'd.  M'  Wigglesworth  began  to 
dispute;  before  he  had  done,  the  Governor  came;  when  the  first  Qu'estion 
was  dispatch'd,  the  Orator  was  called  forth:  His  Oration  was  very  well 
accepted;  I  was  concern'd  for  my  son,  who  was  not  well,  lest  he  should 
have  fail'd  ;  but  God  helped  him.  ...  My  Son  held  the  first  Ques-

On  the  following  day,  the  Kev.  Solomon  Stoddard  preached  the 
Thursday  lecture  in  Boston,  and  took  occasion  to  speak  against 
"excess  in  commencement  entertainments."  Whether  he  meant  the 
public  dinner  or  private  "  spreads "  does  not  appear ;  but  Judije 
Sewall's   reference   to    a    "  table   and   bread "    for   his   eon's    use  "Is  -"^ 

sugijestive.  \ 

Mr.  AVillard  went  to  Cambridge  on  Monday,  August  11,  at  the  \ 

opening  of  the  autumn  term,  but  was  taken  ill  and  vvas  oblio-ed  to  • 

return  to  Boston  before  prayer-time.  On  the  following  day  he  felt 
so  much  worse  that  he  sent  his  resignation  to  the  Governor  and 
Council  orally  by  Judge  Sewall.  He  continued  in  failing  health 
until  the  12th  of  September,  when  he  died  very  suddenly.  Mr.  John 
Leverett  was  chosen  to  the  presidency  of  the  College  on  the  28th  of 
October. 

November  3,  ''  I  visited  M''  Pemberton.  Some  of  his  instructions  such

it  to  yourself.  M'  Leverett  commended  for  a  President.  6.  Natural] 
Philosophy  good."  Josepii  Sewall. 

Mr.  Leverett  was  installed  on  the  14th  of  January,  and  Edward 
Holyuke,  of  the   Class   of  1705,   and   Joseph   Sewall,   pronounced  > 

Latin  orations.     The  latter  took  his  second  degree  July  5,  1710.*  ' 

His  father's  diary,  which  contains  much  more  information  about  him 
than  we  can  gather  trom  his  own,  gives  tbe  closing  words  of  his 
thesis,  the  subject  of  which  seems  to  have  been,  the  Divine  Authority 
of  the  Sabbath  : — idtoque  etsi  inaudiatur  Lugduni  BatavoTum  ; 
etsi  enarretur  Lutetiae  Parisiorum;  etsi  audiant  JVostrates 
doctissimi,  sive  Oozonienses,  sive  Cantahrigienses ;  attamen 
Clamabo,  Sabbatlemiis  Septenarius  existit  jure  Diviiio,  et 
immutubili. 

Mr.  Sewall  continued  to  reside  in  Cambridge  until  June,  1712, 
but  we  do  nut  find  his  name  un  the  list  of  tutors.  He  preached  once 
or  twice  at  the  Old  South,  and  once  at  Cambridge,  before  he  took 
his  master's  degree  ;  and  from  time  to  time,  during  the  next  two 
years,  he  supplied  the  pulpits  of  the  various  pastora  in  Boston  and 
neighboring  towns.  In  more  than  one  letter  at  this  period.  Judge 
Sewall  speaks  of  his  son  as  "  a  probationer  in  the  work  of  the  minis- 
try." In  the  Scotch  Church,  this  name  is  given  to  a  young  man 
who  holds  a  certificate  from  his  professor,  testifying  to  his  good 
character  and  qualifications  for  preaching.  Scott  tells  us  that 
Dominie  Sampson  was  a  probationer  in  divinity  before  he  became  a 

•  "When  President  Leverett  died,  in  1724,  Mr.  Sewall  was  invited  to  be  his  successor;  he

tutor  in  the  family  of  the  Bertrams.  It  was  not  until  1790  that 
clerical  associations  in  Massachusetts  assumed  the  function  of  "  appro- 
bating" or  "licensing"  young  men  to  preach  ;  although,  as  the  late 
Dr.  Joseph  S.  Clark  insisted,  these  associations  have  not  claimed, 
and  never  rightfully  can  claim,  the  authority  implied  in  the  word 
"license." 

Early  in  December,  1711,  Mr.  Sewall  went  to  Salem,  and,  as  the 
result  of  his  prea  hing  there,  received  an  invitation  to  settle  as  pas- 
tor of  a  church  about  to  be  gathered  in  the  middle  district  in  that 
town.  lie  says  :  "I  declined  it,  though  not  without  pain.  Their 
expressions  of  love  and  respect  were  truly  atiecting  and  extraor- 
dinary." At  the  same  time,  or  previously,  there  seems  to  have  been 
a  desire  on  the  part  of  some  to  settle  liim  at  Brattle  Street  Church, 
Boston,  as  colleague  with  the  Rev.  Benjamin  Colman,  for  whom  he 
had  preached  several  times,  "September  28.  Alessrs.  Coleraan, 
Palmer,  Davenport  speak  to  me  about  settling  in  their  Church  ;  they 
say  that  the  most  seem  to  be  inclin'd  to  it,  tho  as  yet  no  Church 
Vote  hath  passed  about  it."  We  have  found  no  other  reference  to 
this  proposition,  except  the  following  in  a  letter  addressed  by  Mr. 
Sewall  to  Mr.  Colman  from  Cambridge,  February  22,  1711-12: 

"  I  received  your  courteous  Letter  this  morning,  and  could  not  read  it  with- 
out a  deep  sense  of  the  great  respect  shenii  me  in  it,  which  I  must  ackao-,v- 
ledge  to  Be  much  above  my  merit.  I  humbly  thank  you  and  the  Gentlemen 
concerned  for  the  honor  you  did  me  in  the  privat  motions,  which  "our  Letter 
makes  mention  of.  I  can't  tell  how  God  will  dispose  of  me  ;  but  desire  to 
resign  myself  to  his  care  and  Providence  in  all  things.  It  will  be  a  a'-eat 
satisfaction  to  me,  if  I  may  always  enjoy  that  Affection  which  you  are 
pleased  so  generously  to  express  in  your  Letter ;  and  I  hope  I  shall  ever 
retain  a  gratefull  Remembrance  of  it.'^* 

It  was  the  policy  of  the  Old  South  Church,  during  the  first  century 
of  its  existence,  to  have  two  pastors  of  like  functions  and  with  equal 
authority  ;  there  were  intervals  of  time  when  it  had  one  only,  yet  it  so 
happened  that  from  the  installation  of  Mr.  Thacher  in  1670  to  that  of 
Mr.  Bacon  and  Mr.  Hunt  on  the  same  day  in  the  autumn  of  1771, 
every  minister  who  was  settled  there  was  settled  as  an  associate.  From 
Mr.  Thacher's  settlement  until  Dr.  SewaU's  death  in  1769,  the  Church 
was  never  without  at  least  one  pastor.  Since  the  death  of  Mr. 
Willard  in  1707,  Mr.  Pemberton  had  been  alone  in  the  work:  and, 
after  Mr.  Sewall  began  to  preach,  it  was  natural  that  his  friends  in 
the  Church  should  think  of  him  as  a  colleague.  At  a  meeting,  March 
19,  1712,  two  candidates  were  put  in  nomination,  Mr.  Sewall,  and 
Mr.  Joseph  Stevens,  afterward  of  Charlestown  ;  at  a  succeeding 
meeting,  April  25th,  the  former  had  forty-seven  votes,  and  was 
chosen,  and  the  latter  had  twenty.     Early  in  the  summer  of  this 

*  See  Se^cairs  Letter  Book,  Vol.  I.,  pp.  414,  415.  Three  years  later,  the  Rev.  William 
Cooler  was  settled  as  colleague  pastor  at  Eraule  Street.  His  wife  was  Judith,  voungest 
child  of  Judge  Sewall.

year  Mr.  Sewall  had  a  severe  illness,  and  his  formal  acceptance  of 
the  call  was  not  presented  to  the  Church  until  October.  His  ordi- 
nation did  not  take  place  until  the  autumn  of  the  next  year.  In  the 
great  fire  of  October,  1711,  the  First  Church  and  Congregation  lost 
their  meeting-house,  and  for  the  next  year  and  a  half  they  worshipped 
at  Brattle  Street  and  the  Old  South  ;  their  two  ministers,  Mr.  Wads- 
worth  and  ^Ir.  Bridi^^e,  preaching  alternately  at  the  two  places  with 
Mr.  Colman  and  Mr.  Pemberton.  While  this  pleasant  arrange- 
ment continued,  ^Ir.  Sewall's  services  were  not  required  at  the  Old 
South  ;  but  after  the  completion  and  occupancy  of  the  new  house  of 
worship,  which  came  to  be  known  as  the  Old  Brick,  ^fay,  1713, 
Mr.  Pemberton,  whose  health  was  poor,  needed  the  assistance  of  his 
colleague- elect,  and  preparations  were  made  for  the  ordination  of  the 
latter.  This  took  place  on  the  13th  of  September,  Mr.  Sewall 
having  supplied  the  pulpit  in  turn  with  the  older  minister  during  the 
summer.  Drs.  Increase  and  Cotton  Mather  took  part  in  the  ser- 
vices, and  Mr.  Pemberton  gave  the  charge,  in  the  course  of  which 
he  made  a  strong  plea  for  the  antiquity  and  validity  of  New  England 
ordination.  Mr.  Sewall  preached  the  sermon,  according  to  the 
custom  of  the  time,  and  a  version  of  the  twenty-third  Psalm  was 
sung  bv  the  congregation.  The  young  pastor,  who  had  just  com- 
pleted his  twenty-fifth  year,  preached  on  the  next  Sunday  from  the 
text,  "Behold  the  Lamb  of  God,  which  taketh  away  the  sins  of  the 
world."  The  ministry  thus  auspiciously  entered  upon  continued 
without  interruption  for  fifty-six  years.  Its  history  is  recorded  else- 
where, and  we  will  make  no  reference  to  it  here,  except  to  say  a 
word,  in  passing,  of  the  colleague  pastorate  of  Mr.  Sewall  and  ^Ir. 
Thomas  Prince, — friends  from  youth  and  college  classmates, — which 
lasted  from  1718  until  the  death  of  the  latter  in  1758, — "furnishing 
an  example,"  says  Dr.  Wisner,  "  of  mutual  affection  and  union  of 
purpose  and  pursuit,  to  which  the  annals  of  collegiate  charges  will 
be  searched  for  a  parallel,  I  fear,  almost  in  vain." 

On  the  29th  of  October,  1713,  Mr.  Sewall  was  married  by  Mr. 
Pemberton  to  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  the  Hon.  John  Wailey,  for 
many  years  an  associate  of  Judge  Sewall  on  the  bench  of  the  Super- 
ior Court  of  Judicature  of  ^Massachusetts  Bay,  and  a  very  distin- 
guished man.  Mr.  Pemberton  having  moved  into  the  new  parsonage 
at  the  head  uf  ^Nlilk  Street,  Mr.  Sewall  and  his  bride  took  possession 
of  the  old  parsonage  on  the  Green,  the  historic  building  in  which 
Governor  Wintlirop,  the  Rev.  John  Norton  and  Mr.  Willard  had 
lived  and  died. 

We  present  a  portrait  of  Mr.  Sewall  after  a  picture  painted  by 
John  Smibert,  a  Scotchman,  who  came  to  New  England  in  1728, 
and  to  Boston  in  1730,  in  which  latter  year  he  became  a  member  of 
the  Old  South  Church.  Mr.  Sewall  was  then  forty-two  years  old, 
and  this  seems  to  be  about  the  age  represented  in  our  portrait. 
Smibert  was  the  first  portrait  painter  of  any  skill  whom  Boston  had

I  SEND  some  old  Lincoln  County  intentions  of  marriage.  They 
were  among  papers  in  my  care.  I  do  not  know  if  they  are  on

1892.]  Letter  of  Rev.  Jonathan  Mayhew.  15 


LETTER  OF  REV.  JONATHAN  MAYHEW  TO  RICHARD 

CLARKE,  1765. 

Communicated  by  Daxiel  Denison  Slade,  M.D.,  of  Chestnut  Hill. 

There  mental  freedom  fir^t  her  po-u-er  display'd 

And  called  a  3IayheAv  to  reliiiiou's  aid. 
For  this  trreat  truth,  he  boldly'led  the  van, 

That  private  judfjrde  lit  was  a  right  of  man. 

The  following  letter  from  Dr.  Jonathan  ]Mayhew  to  Richard 
Clarke,  Esq.,  was  recently  found  among  some  of  my  ancestral  pa- 
pers. It  probably  has  never  been  read  by  any  beyond  tlie  immediate 
family  circle  of  him  to  whom  it  was  addressed.  It  would  certainly 
seem  unnecessary  in  this  connection  to  give  more  than  a  passino- 
notice  of  the  parties  concerned,  so  well  knuwn  must  they  be  to  the 
generality  of  the  readers  of  the  Register.  Dr.  elonathan  Mayhew 
was,  at  the  date  of  the  letter,  pastor  of  the  "West  Church  in  Boston. 
He  was  admitted  by  all  to  be  a  man  of  great  sincerity  and  ouritv, 
as  well  as  of  boldness  and  independence  in  the  expres^^ion  of  liis 
views.  The  clergy  of  his  day  were  generally  friends  of  civil  libertv, 
and  Dr.  Mayhew  was  one  of  the  most  ardent  and  active  amon^" 
them.  It  was  he  that  preached  the  famous  sermon  in  1750,  on  the 
Sabbath  following  the  anniversary  of  the  death  of  Charles  I.,  which 
was  very  properly  then  called  ''  the  morning  gun  of  .he  Revolution." 

The  Sunday  before  the  riots  in  A  igust,  17G5,  caused  by  the 
arrival  of  the  stamped  papers,  he  preached  from  Galatians  v.  12,  13, 
*'!  would  they  were  even  cut  off  which  trouble  you.  For  brethren, 
ye  have  been  called  unto  liberty  ;  only  use  not  liberty  for  an  occa- 
sion to  the  flesh ;  but  by  love  serve  one  another."  It  was  at  some 
expressions  used  in  this  discourse  that  Air.  Richard  Clarke,  one  of 
his  parishioners,  took  offence  and  afterward  absented  himself  from 
the  church,  as  shown  by  the  letter  here  published. 

In  1756  Dr.  Mayhew  was  married  to  EHzabeth,  daughter  of  John 
Clark,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  by  whom  he  had  two  children.  PL's  un- 
timely death  at  the  age  of  44,  and  in  the'2Uth  year  of  his  ministry, 
was  a  severe  loss  to  the  cause  of  civil  and  religious  liberty,  as  well 
as  to  his  immediate  family  and  friends,  and  to  iiis  society' who  con- 
sidered his  death  as  almost  irreparable.  Que  of  his  cotemporaries 
in  the  ministry  thus  speaks  of  him  :  "Of  a  noble  genius,  acquainted 
with  the  best  learning,  a  most  laborious  student,  a  polite  writer,  a 
strong  defender  of  the  rights  and  liberties  of  the  state  and  church, 
and  notwithstanding  his  different  sentiments  from  me,  I  esteem  him 
a  truly  pious,  benevolent  and  useful  man."

16  Letter  of  He  v.  Jonathan  Mayhew.  [Jan* 

Richard  Clarke,  son  of  William  and  Hannah  (Appleton)  Clarke 
of  Boston,  Mass.,*  and  of  a  distinguished  ancestry,  was  born  11 
May,  1711,  graduated  at  Harvard  College  in  1729,  established 
himself  in  Boston  as  a  merchant,  and  was  one  of  the  consignees  to 
whom  the  India  Company  consigned  some  cargoes  of  tea,  that  occa- 
sioned so  much  trouble  before  the  Revolution.  May  3, 1733,  he  married 
Elizabeth  ^Vinslow,  a  daughter  of  Isaac  Winslow.  He  lived  in 
School  Street,  opposite  King's  Chapel,  and  in  consequence  of  the 
part  he  took  in  respect  to  the  tea,  became  very  obnoxious  to  the 
citizens  of  Boston,  and  his  house  was  in  the  night  attacked  by  a 
mob  who  broke  his  windows.  In  consequence  of  these  troubles  in 
1774  he  went  to  Canada,  and  from  thence  to  London.  Here  he 
lived  with  his  son-in-law  John  Singleton  Copley,  the  painter  (who 
had  also  left  this  country),  till  his  death  in  1790,  in  his  80th  year. 
He  was  reported  to  be  a  man  of  great  intelligence  and  worth,  but 
like  some  others  took  side  with  the  royal  party  in  the  civil  contests 
of  the  day,  and  for  his  services,  subsequently  received  a  pension 
from  tlie  British  government.  He  had  several  children.  Of  the 
daughters,  Hannah  married  Henrv  Bromfield  of  Harvard,  Sarah 
married  Charles  Startin  and  lived  in  New  York  and  Philadelphia. 
Elizabeth  married  a  Mr.  Barrett,  and  Susannah  married  Copley  the 
artist, — passing  their  early  years  in  a  house  on  Beacon  Street,  which 
stood  on  the  site  of  the  present  Somerset  Club  House,  being  the 
more  westerly  of  the  two  houses  which  stood  on  the  Copley  estate, 
according  to  the  best  evidence  which  I  have.  His  son  Isaac  W. 
Clarke  removed  to  Canada,  became  there  commissary  general,  mar- 
ried twice  and  died  in  Montreal  in  1817,  at  the  age  of  81. 


Boston,  Sept.  3,  1765. 

Dear  Sir, 

I  was  twice  at  your  House  one  evening  last  week.  The  first  time,  I 
perceived  you  was  much  oti'ended  with  me  on  Ace'  of  a  Sermon  which  I 
preached  the  Lord's  day  preceeding.  The  second  time,  by  your  dechning 
to  give  me  your  advice,  wliich  I  asked,  about  putting  something  which  I  had 
written,  in  the  public  prints,  relating  to  that  very  unhappy  Affair,  I  concluded 
m  my  own  mind,  that  you  was  determined  wholly  to  break  with  me,  and 
to  leave  the  meeting.  This,  which  was  then  but  a  conjecture,  seems  to  be 
put  beyond  doubt,  by  your  absence,  and  that  of  your  whole  family,  the  last 
Lord's  day,  and  your  going  to  other  meetings;  as  you  and  they  had  doubt- 
less good  right  to  do,  either  then  or  before,  if  you  thought  proper. 

It  was  my  determination,  when  I  first  settled  in  the  ministry,  never  to 
invite  any  one  to  be  my  Hearer,  who  had  not  been  so,  or  to  re([uest  any 
one  to  returiH  who  had  forsaken  my  ministry,  after  having  had  experience 
of  it.     In  this  resolution  I  still  remain  fi^ed,  as  a  reasonable  one  for  any

once  a  brother,  is  offended  with  me,  to  remove  the  ground  of  his  uneasi- 
ness, and  to  give  him  all  the  satisfaction  in  my  power;  that  so.  if  a  recon- 
ciliation does  not  ensue,  I  may  have  no  just  cause  to  blame  myself  for  the 
continuance  of  the  alienation. 

It  is  with  this  view.  Sir,  that  I  now  write  to  you.  I  readily  acknowl- 
edge, what  I  was  not  so  well  aware  of  before,  that  it  \ras  a  very  unfortu- 
nate time  to  preach  a  sermon,  the  chief  aim  of  wliich  was  to  show  the  im- 
portance of  Liberty,  when  people  were  before  so  generally  apprehensive  of 
the  danger  of  losing  it.  They  certainly  needed  rather  to  be  moderated  and 
pacified,  than  the  contrary :  And  I  would  freely  give  all  that  I  have  in 
the  world,  rather  than  have  preached  that  sermon  ;  tho'  I  am  well  assured, 
it  was  very  generally  liked  and  commended  by  the  hearers  at  the  time  of  it. 

The  case  was  this:  I  liad  in  company,  before,  often  heard  the  ministers 
of  this  town  in  general  blamed  for  tlieir  silence  in  the  cause  of  liberty,  at 
a  time  when  it  was  almost  universally  supposed,  as  it  still  is.  that  our  com- 
mon liberties  and  rights,  as  British  subjects,  were  in  the  most  imminent 
danger.  They  were  called  cowards,  and  the  like.  And  I  had  myself,  for 
weeks,  nay,  for  months  before  Aug.  25,  been  solicited  by  different  persons 
to  preach  upon  that  subject,  as  one  who  was  a  known  friend  to  liberty ;  and 
was  in  some  measure  reflected  upon,  as  not  having  that  good  cause  d'jly  at 
heart,  at  this  important  crisis.  This  was  a  reproach,  v.'hich  I  knew  not 
well  how  to  bear;  and  this,  however  insuthcient  a  reason  it  might  be,  was 
yet  the  true  reason  of  my  preaching  the  sermon  aforesaid  ;  and  dropping 
some  cursory  hints  relative  to  the  same  point,  in  one  or  two  discourses  that 
preceeded  it.  You  well  know,  Sir,  the  general  temper  of  the  town.  Prov- 
ince, and  all  the  colonies,  then  and  now,  respecting  the  Stamp-act.  And 
tho'  I  do  not  by  any  means  justify  the  expediency  of  preaching  on  the  sub- 
ject at  all,  which  I  now  think  was  very  ill  judged ;  yet  candid  persons  will 
make  some  allowance  for  me,  if  I  was  too  far  carried  away  with  the  com- 
mon current.  So  much  for  the  expediency,  or  rather  inexpediency,  of 
preaching  at  all  upon  the  subject  at  that  time* 

As  to  the  sermon  itself,  I  own  it  was  composed  in  a  hi^h  strain  of 
liberty;  tho',  I  humbly  conceive,  not  higher  than  is  warranted  by  the 
principles  of  the  glorious  revolution;  one  part  of  it  being  considered  in  its 
proper  connexion  with  another ;  tho',  very  proba'oly,  there  might  be  some 
improper  &,  unguarded  expressions  in  it.  But  certain  I  am,  that  no  per- 
son could,  without  abusing  &  perverting  it,  take  encouragement  from  it  to 
go  to  mobbing,  or  to  commit  such  abominable  outrages  as  were  lately  com- 
mitted, in  defiance  of  the  laws  of  God  and  man.  I  did,  in  the  most  formal, 
express  manner,  discountenance  everything  of  that  kind.  And  here  I  shall 
take  the  liberty  to  lay  before  you  two  or  three  extracts  of  the  said  sermon, 
which,  possibly,  you  might  not  particularly  attend  to  at  the  time,  having 
your  thoughts  much  engaged  on  other  matters.  Speaking  of  the  nature  of 
civil  liberty,  I  expressed  myself  in  the  words  following  : 

"Civil  liberty  supposeth  men  to  be  united  together  in  civil  society,  or  a 
body  politic;  since  they  who  continue  in  that,  which  is  usually  called  a 
state  of  nature,  can  with  no  propriety  be  said  to  enjoy  civil  liberty. 

"It  supposeth  also,  that  men,  for  the  sake  of  common  good,  and  mutual 
security,  give  up  some  part  of  their  natural  liberty,  or  the  right  which  they 
have  in  a  state  of  nature,  to  act  as  they  please,  each  individual  for  himself.

18  Letter  of  Rev.  Jonathan  Jlayhew.  [Jan. 

"It  supposeth  the  restraint  of  laws,  some  persons  to  govern,  and  some  to 
be  troveriied.  For  people  do  not  enjoy  civil  liberty,  where  each  individual 
does  what  is  right  in  his  own  eyes,  without  any  regard  to  law,  or  the  opin- 
ions &  rights  of  others.  This  is  a  state  of  anarchy  &  confu-ion  ;  as  distant 
from  a  state  of  civil  libery  as  slavery  itself,  in  which  it  often,  indeed,  termi- 
nates, one  extreem  leading  to  another,  seemingly  the  most  opposite  to  it.' 

Afterwards,  in  explaining  that  clause  of  the  text — '"Only  use  not  liberty 
for  an  occasion  of  the  flesh,"  I  expressed  myself  as  follows — 

'•  They  use  liberty  for  an  occasion  of  the  flesh,  who,  under  color  or  pre- 
text of  liberty,  deny  the  God  that  is  above,  or  reject  &  blaspheme  the  true 
religion.  For  how  free  soever  men  may  be,  they  are  not  without  law  to 
God,  but  under  the  law  to  Christ. 

'•They  use  liberty  for  an  occasion  to  the  flesh,  who.  under  color  of  it, 
allow  themselves  in  the  practice  of  fle&hly  lusts,  or  in  any  immoral  &  sinful 
actions  :  2so  man  having  an  v  right  to  do  what  is  wrong  &  evil,  contrary  to  the 
express  law  of  God,  or  the  'law  &  light  of  nature;  which  are  obligatory 
upon  all  men. 

"They  use  liberty  for  an  occasion  to  the  flesh,  who,  under  color  of  it, 
disregard  the  wholesome  laws  of  Society,  made  for  the  preservation  of  y*" 
order,  and  common  good  thereof. 

'•  They  use  liberty  for  an  occasion  to  the  flesh,  who  causelessly  &  mali- 
ciously speak  evil  of  their  rulers  ;  endeavoring  to  make  them  appear  odious 
or  contemptible,  or  to  weaken  their  influence,  and  proper  authority,  in  their 
several  stations. 

"Still  more  do  they  use  liberty  for  an  occasion  to  the  flesh,  who  cause 
factions  or  insurrection  against  the  government,  under  which  they  live,  and 
who  rebel  against,  or  resist  their  lawful  rulers,  in  the  due  discharge  of  their 
offices.  We  ought  to  be  subject,  not  only  tor  wrath,  or  for  fear  of  the 
wrath  of  man,  but  also  for  coucience  sake.  For  government  was  instituted 
by  God  for  the  good  of  man.  For  this  cause  pay  we  tribute  also,  because 
civil  rulers  are  the  ministers  of  Go<l  to  us  for  gooil,  attending  continually 
upon  tins  very  thing.  We  are  bound  to  render  unto  Caesar  tlie  things  that 
are  Ci^sar's,  'as  well  as  to  God  the  things  that  are  his.  They  therefore, 
who  rebel  &  resist,  as  aforesaid,  resist  tiie  ordinance  of  God:  And  the 
apostle  saith,  they  shall  receive  to  themselves  damnation," 

Let  me  farther  remind  you.  Sir,  that  after  mentioning  the  suspicions  of 
many,  that  some  persons  in  the  colonies  had  encouraged,  and  been  instru- 
mental of  bringing  upon  us.  so  great  a  burden  &  grievance,  for  the  sake  of 
present  gain  ;  I  subjoined  these  identical  words—"  But  this  I  would  chari- 
tably hope  is  not  true."  And  all  that  followed,  coi;cerning  men  who  could 
be  so  mercinary  as  to  ruin  their  country,  for  the  sake  of  posts  <Sc  prutits, 
was  mere  hypothetical  ;  for  I  did  not  at  all  give  it  as  my  opinion,  that 
there  were  actually  any  such  persons  in  the  colonies. 

Let  me  also  remind  you.  that  towards  the  close  of  my  Sermon,  speakuig 
of  our  grievances  I  said — "  But  let  not  us.  my  brethren,  use  liberty  tnv  au 
occasion  to  the  flesh,  or  use  any  method,  for  the  defence  of  our  rights  & 
privileges,  besides  those  which  are  hunest  &  honourable.  Withui  these 
restrictions  »."t  limitations  let  us  do  all  in  our  power."  etc.  And  the  Sennoii 
ended  with  an  ardent  wish,  that  we  an<l  all  his  Majesty's  subjects,^  "  thro'out 
his  extended  dominiou,  might  lead  quiet  cV;  peaceable  lives  in  all  godliness 
&  honesty."  •     •  -i 

Now,  however  ardent  expressions  a  man  might  use  in  favor  of  civil 
liberty,  and  against  oppre^siou  &  tyranny ;  yet  if  they  are  thos  guarded  ^

qualified  in  the  same  discourse,  and  people  are  so  particularly  cautioned 
against  using  liberty  for  an  occasion  io  the  flesh,  it  is  humbly  conceived  the 
author  ought  in  common  justice  to  be  acquitted,  as  no  eucourager  of  mobs 
and  riots. 

But  as  I  found  that  some  persons  besides  yourself  had,  thro'  mistake, 
and  others  through  malice,  represented  my  discourse  in  that  odious  lio-ht; 
and  some,  for  their  own  ends,  seemed  disposed  to  make  such  a  use  of  it  as 
was  remote^  from  my  thoughts,  yea,  as  I  had  most  expressly  <k  formally 
guarded  against;  I  thought  it  a  duty  incumbent  upon  me  to  exculpate  my- 
self in  the  most  op  n  &  solemn  manner.  This  I  did  the  last  Lord's  day 
as  probably  you  have  heard ;  and  did  it  so  effectually,  that  I  understand 
many  persons  are  now  highly  displeased  with  me,  as  if  I  were  a  favourer  of 
the  stamp-act;  of  which  I  have  still,  however,  the  same  opinion  that  I  ever 
had,  as  a  great  grievance;  in  opposition  to  which,  it  is  incumbent  upon  us 
to  do  everything  in  our  power,  within  such  restrictions  as  I  had  mentioned 
in  my  first  discourse  referred  to.  I  still  love  liberty  as  much  as  ever;  but 
have  apprehensions  of  the  greatest  inconveniences  likely  to  follow  on  a 
forceable,  violent  opposition  to  an  act  of  parliament;  which  I  consider,  in 
some  sort,  as  proclaiming  war  against  Great  Britain.  These  are  the  Sen- 
timents of  my  soul,  which  I  more  particula^-ly  declared  the  last  Lord's  daV, 
in  the  fear  of  God,  and  with  the  deepest  concern  for  the  welfare  of  mv 
country,  and  all  the  British  Colonies,  at  this  most  alarming  Crisis  which 
they  have  ever  known,  whether  they  do  or  do  not  submit  to  said  act. 
What  the  end  of  these  things  will  be.  God  only  knows.  To  him  I  lift  up 
my  soul  for  the  common  good,  the  public  welfare. 

Thus   I   have  laid   open   my  heart  to  you  in  this  respect,  tho'  in  a  very 
hasty  &,  I  fear,  confused  manner;  for  I  have  not  time  to  revise  &  correct. 
I  will  not  take  leave  of  you,  sir,  without  heartily  thanking  you  for  your 
repeated  favors   and  kindnesses   in   times  past,  and  expressing  my  ardent 
wishes  for  the  best  of  Blessings  upon  you  and   your   family,  iov   which  I 
have  ever  had  a  sincere  and  great  Regard,  considering  it  as  one  principal 
ornament   of  the   Society,   to   which   my  poor  services  have  been  devoted. 
Particularly  I   beseech   almighty  Gud  mercifully  io  Regard  that  excellent 
woman,  Mrs.  Clark,  in  her  present  low   and  declining '^condition;  and  to 
manifest   his  favor   to   her  according  to  her  present  circumstances'.     I  am 
persuaded  her  death,  which,  by  what  1  hear,  seems  not  far  distant,  will  be 
gain  to  her;  tho'  the  loss  will  be  exceeding  great  to  you  &  your  children. 
I  beseech  God  to  prejKire  you  and  them  for  so  sad  an" hour,  to  suppoit  you 
in   it,  and  cause  all  things  to  work  together  for  good  to  you  &  them.     Be 
pleased  to  remember  me  and  Mrs  Mayhew  very  kindly  and  respectfully  to 
her:  For  we  have  both  the  most  sincere  regard  for  her,  and  sympathy  with 
you  and  yours,  in  this  day  of  trouble.     I  pray  God  to  make  us  all  wiser  '& 
better  by   all  that  occurs  to  us  in  this  varying  &  troublesome  world;  and 
finally  to  bring  us  to  rejoice  together  in  a  better,  notwithstanding  any  un- 
happy differences  which  have,  or  may  arise  between  us  here. 

I  am.  Dear  Sir, 

With  sincere  respect.

One  thing  which  I  intended  to  mention  to  you,  I  had  forgot  in  my  haste. 
When  I  last  saw  you,  you  intimated  that  you  was  displeased  with  a  pas- 
sage in  one  of  my  sermons  the  Lord's  day  preceding  Aug.  25.     Had  you

MEMOIR   OF   HON.    WILLIAM  HUXTER   ODELL.

may  be  given  as  follows  : 

Mr.  William'  Odell,  the  founder  of  the  family  in  this  country, 
was  of  English  ancestry.*  ELe  came  to  Xew  England  in  the  early 
part  of  the  seventeenth  century,  probably  in  company  with  the  R ev^.

at  King's  College — now  the  University  of  Xew  Brunswick — Fred- 
ericton, and  graduated  in  the  class  of  1832.  He  studied  law  and 
was  called  to  the  bar  in  1838,  when  he  was  appointed  clerk  of  the

nation  of  the  government  the  next  year;  in  May,  1867,  he  was 
called  to  the  Dominion  Senate  by  royal  proclamation,  and  for  twenty- 
four  years  was  a  member  of  that  honorable  body. 

Mr.  Odell  married  Elizabeth  Ann,  daughter  of  the  Hon.  William 
B.  Bliss,  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Nova  Scotia;  she  survives 
him  together  with  one  son,  an  officer  in  the  English  army,  and  three 
daughters.  Mr.  Odell,  in  addition  to  his  property  in  Ilalifax,  waa 
the  owner  of  a  considerable  estate  at  Fredericton,  called  "Eook- 
wood,"  where  the  writer,  a  kinsman  of  his,  had  the  pleasure  of 
meeting  him  several  years  ago.  This  interview  resulted  in  a  very 
pleasant  correspondence  later  on,  and  the  communication  of  many 
interesting  genealogical  facts,  which  have  been  availed  of  in  the 
preparation  of  this  memoir. 

Mr.  Odell's  career  was  a  long  and  useful  one,  both  in  public  and 
private  life  ;  his  quiet  and  retiring  disposition  prevented  his  taking 
a  very  active  part  in  political  debate,  but  his  wide  and  varied  ex- 
perience and  excellent  judgment  were  highly  valued  by  his  colleagues. 
Though  Mr.  Odell's  life  had  reached  nearly  four  score  years,  he  had 
none  of  the  infirmities  of  old  age  and  was  exceptionally  active  and 
vigorous.  His  death  was  entirely  unlooked  for.  He  had  only  re- 
cently reached  home  from  Ottawa,  apparently  in  excellent  health, 
and  had  expected  to  return  thither  in  a  few  days.  He  was,  how- 
ever, seized  with  a  sudden  and  fatal  illness  on  Saturday,  July  25, 
and  the  next  afternoon  passed  peacefully  away.  The  announcement 
of  his  death  was  received  by  the  Senate  at  Ottawa,  with  many  ex- 
pressions of  surprise  and  sorrow,  and  resolutions  of  sympathy  were 
offered  by  his  associates  at  the  session  of  Parliament  held  on  July  29. 

Mr.  Odell  was,  in  his  church  relation,  an  Episcopalian ;  his 
funeral  took  place  on  Thursday,  July  30,  and  his  remains  were  in- 
terred in  Camp  Hill  Cemetery.

&  the  March  of  the  Forces  to  Kennebeck  River,  and  am  well  satisried  with 
the  Dispatch  you  have  given  to  that  Atfair.  There  being  such  a  Number 
of  Troops  in  your  Frontier,  I  have  determined  they  sh''  be  employ'd  (after 
the  Marches  to  Norridtrewock  are  over)  on  an  Ex[)editiou  to  Penobscot  & 
the  Sea  Coast  in  those  Parts,  ife  therefore  after  a  proper  time  allow'd  for

Cap'"  Harmon  arriv'd  this  day  with  the  Fryars  and  Twenty  Six 
Scalps  more  from  Norridgewock,  and  brought  Bombazees  Squaw  and  three

number  of  Indians  are  comeiiig  on  our  frontier,  sundry  from  Canada  and 
Two  Hundred  from  Penobscutt;  for  a  more  account  I  refer  to  him.  They 
have  takeu  Leiu'  Kenadys  Coat  at  Norridgewock,  who  resided  at  Saint

Cap'"  Sanders  in  his  Sloop  strongly  guarded  to  that  place,  and  am  likewise 
dispatching  orders  to  all  the  frontiers  to  be  strict  on  their  guard.  Cap'

the  Scalps  and  Captives  they  brought  in,  what  they  kill'd  and  dr(^wnded, 
there  would  not  be  less  then  thirtv  or  forty.  God  has  now  been  pleas'd  to

24  Letters  of  Col.  Thomas  Westbrooh  ayid  others.         [Jan. 

May  it  Please  your  Honour, 

I  received  your  Instructions  dated  the  25'^  Curr'  on  the  28"^  Ins' 
and  shall  put  them  in  Execution  Immediately.  I  hope  the  Hostacje  will 
Pilott  us  through  from  Kennebeck  to  Penobscut,  which  will  be  the  best 
way  to  get  to  their  Town  undiscovered.  As  to  Bombazeens  widdow  I  have 
exammed  her  and  she  knows  little  or  nothing  about  the  Penobscut  tribe, 
and  is  so  sick  she  is  not  able  to  travel.  My  advice  to  the  Inhubitauts  and 
orders  to  the  officers  has  always  been  not  to  go  out  with  less  than  Fifteen 
or  Eighteen  men  or  more,  as  the  occasion  mav  require,  but  the  Inhabitants 
are  so  obstinate  they  will  go  out  not  above  X'wo  or  three  at  a  time  Two  or 
Three  miles  from  their  garrisons  if  they  cannot  ail  have  a  guard  in  one  day, 
and  the  Officers  of  the  Militia  in  each  town  do  not  take  any  care  to  regulate 
them,  they  ref-=e  to  help  in  watching  in  their  garrisons  at  night  where  the 
Soldiers  are  but  two  or  Three  especially  the  Inhabitants  at  Perpooduck 
Point.  I  acquainted  them  it  was  your  Hon"  orders,  but  they  refused  to 
comply. 

There  lies  this  difficulty  with  me  which  I  can't  tell  how  to  get  over,  Viz'. 
Wee  must  leave  a  strong  guard,   with  our  Whale  boats  up   Kennebeck 
Kiver    estwee  should  not  get  through  and  be  oblig'd  to  return,  neither  are 
wee  able  (in  Case  wee  should  get  through)  to  leave  a  sufficient  number  of 
men  to  bring  back  the  boates  to  Richmond  without  weakeniu<^  the  Army  too 
much  to  pursue  the  march,  besides,  it  will  be  of  absolute  necessity  to  "have 
some  boates  on  our  return,  with   the  Sloops,  at  the  mouth  of  Penobscutt 
Kiver,  to  search  after  the  vessels  taken  from  the  Subjects  of  this  Province, 
W^    wee  cannot  have  unless  y"  Sloops  bring  some  with  them  from  Boston, 
or  unless  your  Honour  will  please  to  send  Fifty  men  more  for  the  above  men- 
tioned designes.     Wee  must  have  Two  Doz°  of  fill  ling  axes  to  make  either 
Kafts  or  Canoes  to  get  from  the  Main  to  the  Island  w^here  the  Indians  live, 
and  those  men  that  have  the   charge  of  the  Axes  must   have  Pistols  sent 
them,  they  not  being  able   to  carry   their  guns,   Packs  and  Axes;  there  is 
wanting  Thirty  or  Forty  Fire  locks   for   the   men  already   in  tke  Service, 
which  must  be  sent  Immediately.     I  shall  not  be  able  to  get  the  men  so  soon 
as  my  orders  direct,  to  Richmond,  by  reason   I  sent  a  Companv  to  releive 
(jeorges  and  Intercept  the  Enemy  there,  and  they  are  in  quest  of  them  now 
by  the  verbal  Ace'  I  had  brought  me   this   day  from   Cap'  Sanders  who  is 
Just  come  to  Richmond  from  thence  and  brought  a  Captive  Leiu'  Kenady 
redeem  d,  as  y^  Hon^  wUI   see  by   the  Enclos'd.  which  is  a  verbal  ace'  l 
receivd  from  one  of  my  Sarj*-  whom   I  sent   Express  to  Cap'  Heath  and 
who  met  Saunders  going  to  Richmond,  from  whom  he  had  the  Information. 
^  When  I  had  ordered  the  men  to   Scout  at  Saint  Georges  I  had  thoucrht 
y«  army  would  have  mov'd  that  way.     Here  being  only  Docter  Bullnmn 
that  13  Capable  of  marching  with  us,  and   he  being  very  much  fatigued  I 
must  entreat  your  Honour  to  send  another  Docter  down  to  march,  that  he 
may  have  some  respite. 

I  am  your  Hon"  most  dutifuU  Hum"  Serv'. 
Tho*  Westbrook. 

P.S.  I  pray  your  Honours  to  excuse  every  thing  amiss,  for  I  have  beea 
writing  and  dispatching  orders  from  sun  rise  till  ^'ine  a  Clock  this  ui^ht,  so 
y  my  brains  is  quite  Addled.

Coll°  T\  estbrooks  Packett  is  enough  to  make  any  one  Sick.  "What 
Hee  has  done  aUready,  as  well  as  what  Hee  further  insists  on,  seems  to  tend 
directly  to  Confound  our  hopefull  designs.  What  Hee  sayes  of  a  Strong 
Guard  for  His  Whale  boat  is  a  mere  jest,  10  men  is  sufficient  for  that. 
What  Number  of  Men  Can  Hee  expect  to  see  there  at  this  time  when 
Hee  expects  so  many  at  Penobscott.  Those  10  Men  with  the  Whale  boats 
May  have  a  Communication  with  Richmond  Forts  &  Can't  bee  better 
Imploy'd  then  by  lying  at  such  a  Pass  to  intercept  a  Smal  Scoxit  of  the 
Enimye.  It  was  Impossible  to  express  in  more  strong  termes  My  orders, 
above  all  things,  that  Wee  should  make  no  delay,  &  yett  Hee  seems  to  have 
no  Idea  of  it.  For  My  part  I  Will  write  no  more  to  Him ;  it's  an  unac- 
countable thing,  tha*;.  without  orders,  Hee  should  send  away  a  Number  of 
Men  to  S'  Georges.  I  allwayes  intended  a  March  to  Penobscott  as  soon  as 
the  Forces  should  be  return'd  from  Norridgewalk,  &  therefore  would  not 
hearken  to  any  thing  that  Could  prevent  it.  Pray  Communicate  this  Letter 
to  the  Eord,  this  Day,  &  write  a  Line  to  Westbrook  that  Hee  make  no 
further  Delay  &  thereby  Ruine  this  Project  if  j5has  it  bee  not  allready 
Frustrated  by  Intelligence  gott  to  the  Enimye,  &  Lett  Him  give  such 
orders  to  His  People  about  Georges,  if  necessary,  if  it  be  not  done  allready, 
&  if  Hee  don't  Incline  to  go,  Lett  Harmon  take  the  Command.*  The

Coll"  Westbrook  sends  a  long  Story  of  New  Projections  to  Amuse  us ; 
they  May  bee  put  to  the  Tryall  in  the  Winter  p'haps  when  we  have  nothing 
Else  to  do,  but  now  is  the  time  to  finde  them  in  their  Planting  grounds  for

in  which  Gov.  Dummer  uses  languaj^'e  of  such  a  stronir  character  as  the  above,  in  regard  to 
Col.  Westbrook,  or  the  propriety  of  his  miiirary  scliemes  and  measures.  In  the  letter 
which  follows  this,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  latter  ende;ivors  to  justify  himself  in  relation 
to  having  an  independent  project  of  his  own,  and  doubts  not  tliat  he  can  easily  satisfy  the

I  hope  this  will  meet  you  safe  arrived  at   Falmouth  after  a  sue 
cessful  Campaign. 

Upon  Sight  hereof  you  must  forthwith  dismiss  Cp'  Brownes  Comp»  of 
Indians  &  send  them  hither  in  one  of  the  Sloops,  That  so  they  may  lose  no 
Time  for  Following  the  Whale  Fishery,  W<='^  is  agreable  to  my  Promise 
made  to  them  at  Enlisting.  Let  Cp'  Brown  come  with  them  to  see  them 
safe  return  d. 

You  must  send  a  Party  of  fresh  Men  that  have  staid  at  Home,  in  the 
Garrisons,  consisting  of  fifty  or  sixty  effective  Soldiers  to  make  one  more 
visit  to  xNorridgewock  Ameseconts  &  Parts  adjacent  near  Kennebeck  & 
Amerescoggm  Rivers  in  Order  to  surprise  y*  Enemy  It  being  probable 
the  Corn  left  in  those  Parts  or  the  Hunting  may  have  been  drawn  thither 
some  of  the  Indians  that  escaped  at  Norridgewock  The  other  Captains 
being  probably  fatigued  w""  y'  past  Marches.  Let  Cp'.  Heath  have  the 
Command  of  them  &  send  with  him  other  proper  Officers  &  Pilots.  Let 
this  Attair  be  proceeded  in  as  soon  as  possible.

Wee  have  got  through  the  body  of  the  Country  from  Richmond 
to  Pencbscut  River,  but  either  by  the  vrillfullness  or  Ignorance  of  the  Pilot 
he  brought  us  near  Fifty  miles  below  the  Indians  villages  when  wee  came 
into  our  Knowledge.  Wee  travel'd  up  the  river  as  high  as  the  falls  where 
there  was  a  large  River  to  Cross,  here  wee  found  the  freshetts  very  high  by 
reason  of  the  late  rain  The  army  not  haveing  more  than  three  or  four 
days  Provision  sundry  men  haveing  lost  their  bread  in  wadeing  the  rivers 
as  I  acquainted  in  my  last  of  the  20''"  Currant,  and  sundry  men  much  ludis' 
pos'd  ;  it  was  likewise  Judged  that  wee  could  not  march  to  their  viHage  and 
back  to  the  falls  where  the  Sloops  were  to  meet  us  in  less  then  Eight  or 
Nine  days,  whereon  wee  desisted  and  waited  for  the  Sloops  they  not  being 
come,  was  oblig'd  to  go  down  the  River  in  quest  of  them  and  verily  believe 
had  not  wee  founa  lWO  Indian  Canoos  and  sent  four  brisk  men  to  look  for 
them  some  of  the  men  would  have  perisht  before  we  could  have  got  to  them, 
but  the  men  found  them  and  brought  up  some  boates  in  which  wee  got  to 
them,  and  the  freshet  run  so  strong  they  could  not  possibly  get  up  the  river, 
Coll°  Harr^on,  Cap'  Moulton,  Cap'  Wentworth  and  sundry  other  otFicers 
are  so  much  ludispos'd  that  I  am  oblig'd  to  let  them  go  home.  I  shall  stay 
with  the  well  part  of  the  Army  and  search  the  rivers  and  Sea  Coves  Wei! 
before  I  come  off.  The  otiicers  all  desier  to  go  to  Boston  to  make  up  their

Honourable  S', 

Having  Your  Honours  Permission  I  was  on  the  way  to  Boston 
But  meeting  an  order  from  L'  Colon^  Harmon  to  march  to  Neridgawalk 
Ammissequenty  &c.  am  attending  that  Service,  Reddy  to  march  as  soon  a9 
the  Quoto  of  men  Appointed  are  Delivered  me  And  Rejoyce  in  this  Opper- 
tunity  you  are  pleased  to  give  me. 

This  Accompanies  the  three  Mohawks  who  returning  from  Penobscut 
were  got  as  far  as  Falmouth  in  the  way  to  Boston  before  my  marching 
Orders  came  &  so  could  not  returne  back. 

I  have  Lay*^  before  the  Treasurer  an  ace'  of  what  provision  &  other 
Necessaryes  I  supply'd  them  with. 

It's  Obvious  to  all  the  Army  that  these  Mohawks  proved  themselves 
good  men  in  the  Late  action  at  Neridgawalk  Since  which  they  have  met 
with  Some  Rough  Treatment,  And  in  case  they  should  not  be  made  Easey 
with  the  method  of  Dividing  the  Captives  &  Scalp  money  (which  now  they 
are  not)  I  Doubt  the  Consequence  will  not  be  gon<l.  Thus  much  I  thought 
it  my  Duty 'to  premize  to  your  Honour  and  Begging  pardon  if  I  have 
Ignoranlly  Exceded,  Remaine  Your  Honours  most

Near  3  garrisen  houses  in  This  town  and  Killed  one  Allen,  a  Soldier 
(posted  at  Casco)  Scalped  him  &  Carryed  his  habbit  &  gun  away,  &  Shot

I  receiv'd  your  Honours  orders  by  the  hand  of  Cap'  Majory, 
who  arriv'd  here  about  Ten  a  Clock  this  morning,  wherein  I  find,  your 
Honour  is  much  surpris'd  that  I  did  not  Immediately  proceed  to  the  Indian 
villages  as  soon  as  wee  had  recruited.  I  must  beg  your  Hon''  to  believe 
me,  that  the  oidy  reason  was,  the  Indisposition  of  the  Officers  and  Soldiers, 
which  your  Hon'  will  see  by  the  Enclos'd.  I  do  sincerely  declare  I  caii'd 
that  Council  with  the  greatest  reluctancy  that  could  be,  and  had  not  call'd 
it  had  it  not  been  for  the  daily  Complaints  of  the  Officers  and  Soldiers  of 
their  great  Indisposition.  Coll°  Harmon  &  Cap'  Moulton  were  very  much 
Indisposed  and  Cap'  Wentworth  so  much  that  he  was  oblig'd  to  keep  his 
bed,  and  by  the  ace"  I  had  from  the  Officers  &  my  own  knowledge,  there 
was  more  tiien  Halfe  the  Army  no  ways  Capable  to  march.  I  arriv'd  here 
the  23'*  Currant  and  am  settleing  some  affaires  of  the  Army,  altho'  I  am  not 
yet  able  to  walk  abroad  and  shall  give  leave  to  the  Otficers  to  come  to 
Boston  to  make  up  their  Rolls  according  to  your  Honours  orders.  I  have 
transiently  heard  that  your  Honour  sent  orders  for  Cap'  Heath  to  make  a

two  days  after  his  arrival  for  I  dispatoht  him  to  Richmond  Tminediately. 
Capt  Eourii  and  his  Company  are  gone  home,  as  I  am  Inform'd.  three  weeks

though  our  tirst  attempt  should  fail  wee  might  make  a  second  march  to 
Penobscut  Town,  but  I  have  neither  seen  nor  heard  from  him  since.  I 
have  Just  cow  rec'd  an  Ace'  by  a  boat  I  sent  to  Richmond  that  Cap'  Heath

AN  EARLY  MILITARY  ORDER  OF  WASHINGTON. 

Commnnicated  by  Grenville  H.  Norcross,  LL,B.,  of  Boston,  Mass. 
General  Folsom  to  lay  before  your  Excellency. 
To  his  Excellency  Gen^  Whashington — 

General  Folsom  begs  leave  to  lay  before  your  Excellency  a  memo- 
randum of  what  is  immediately  wanted  at  Winter  Hill.  Viz:  three  Teems, 
20  Wheelbarrows,  two  Thousand  Tenpenny  Nails,  Four,  Inch  Augres,  a 
Gouge,  and  four  Chizzles.  Alxd'  Scammkll, 

Brig"*"  Major. 
The  Committee,  or  Commissary  of  Supplies  is   desired   to  furnish    the 
above  things  immediately  if  to  be  got.  G°.  Washington. 

July  10'^  1775. 

[endorsement] 
Gen*.  Washington  memorandum  for  Teems, 

wheel  Barrows  Auger  Chisels  &c. 

Note.— The  first  portion  of  the  above  order  is  in  the  handwriting  of  Col. 
Scammell,  the  last  few  lines  are  in  Washington's  autograph.  Alexander  Scara- 
mell  became  one  of  Washington's  Aides,  was  his  Adjutant-General  at  the  time 
of  the  capture  and  execution  of  Major  Andre,  aud  was  wounded  and  taken 
prisoner  before  Yorktown  in  1781.  while  as  otHcer  of  the  day  reconnoitring  the 
outworks  abandoned  by  the  British. 

"  Washinston  interested  hirast'If  in  his  favor,  and  at  his  request  Cornwallis 
permitted  him  to  be  removed  to  Williamsburg,  where  he  died  in  the  course  of 
a  few  days.  He  was  an  officer  of  much  merit,  and  his  death  was  deeply  re- 
gretted by  Washington  and  the  array." 

Winter  Hill  was  the  extreme  left  of  the  line,  occupietl  by  the  New  Hampshire 
troops  under  command  of  Gen.  Nathaniel  Folsom,  and  it  was  expected  that  the 
British  would  make  an  attack  there.— See  Irvinir's  "  Life  of  Washins;ton,"  and 
Frothinshara's  "  Hi-tory  of  the  Siej^re  of  Boston." 

The  date  of  this  order,  it  will  be  noticed,  is  biiu  one  week  after  Washington 
assumed  command  of  the  army,  and  the  spelling  of  his  name  had  not  become 
familiar.

LIST  OF  BATTLES  AND  CASUALTIES  OF  :\L1SSA- 

CHUSETTS  REGIMENTS  DURLXG  THE 

WAR  OF  THE  REBELLION. 

By  Col.  T.  W.  HiGGiNSON  and  Florence  Wyman  Jaqces. 

Preliminary  Note. — The  following  has  been  prepared  with  much  labor, 
under  my  general  direction,  by  Mrs.  Florence  W.  Jaques,  who  has  been 
my  chief  assistant  in  the  preliminary  work  of  the  Massachusetts  Military 
and  Naval  History.  Attention  is  called  to  her  prefatory  remarks  and  sug- 
gestions. It  is  believed  that,  with  such  co-operation  as  she  proposes,  this 
table  will  be  far  ,i  perior  to  any  similar  report  made  in  any  other  State. 
T.  W.  HiGGixsoN,  State  Military  and  Naval  Historian. 

Prefatory  Note. 

The  accompanying  list  of  engagements  and  losses  is  based  upon 
the  work  of  many  persons  who,  on  otiicial  or  private  account,  have 
brought  up  to  their  present  degree  of  varying  completeness  the  re- 
cords of  Massachusetts  organizations.  Some  of  these  were  accurate 
and  painstaking ;  others  were  lax.  Many  errors  from  the  latter 
source  have  been  removed  by  the  comparison  of  records,  but  many 
necessarily  remain.  The  whole  list  must  be  regarded  as  preliminary 
and  subject  to  correction. 

It  was  desired,  as  far  as  possible,  to  count  the  mortally  wounded 
with  the  killed,  this  being  now  the  accepted  practice  ;  but  this  has 
been  satisfactorily  done  only  in  the  case  of  such  losses  as  are  marked 
below  with  [F.].  These  are  taken  from  the  tables  of  Lt.  Col. 
Wm.  F.  Fox,  for  which  an  examination  was  made,  name  by  name, 
of  the  fate  of  men  recorded  as  wounded  or  missing  in  action  ;  and 
there  are  added  to  the  killed  in  each  engagement  the  names  of  those 
who  are  shown  to  have  died  of  wounds  received  there,  with  those 
of  the  missing  in  action  of  whose  death  the  presumptive  evidence 
amounts  in  the  lapse  of  time  to  practical  proof. 

A  comparison  of  figures  so  gained  with  those  from  all  other 
sources,  expressed  below  in  k.,  wd.  and  m.,  leads  to  the  belief  that 
a  proportion  of  one  out  of  seven,  rising  in  some  cases  to  one  out  of 
three,  of  those  wounded  or  missing  in  action,  should  be  numbered 
with  the  killed.  It  is  hoped  that  the  surviving  soldiers  will  aid  in 
making  these  additions  ;  and  they  are  requested,  wherever  they  see 
on  this  list  a  statement  of  losses  that  is  to  their  certain  knowledge 
too  small,  to  be  kind  enough  to  notify  the  compiler,  giving  the 
names  of  all  the  men  whom  they  know  to  have  died  in  or  in  conse- 
quence of  each  engagement,  with  the  grounds  on  which  that  know- 
ledge is  based. 

Correspondence  with  this  object  will  receive  thanks  and  careful 
attention  if  addressed  to 

Mrs.  Florence  W.  Jaques,

GENEALOGICAL  GLEANINGS  IN  ENGLAND. 

By  HEyHT  F.  "Wattes,  A.M. 
[Continaed  from  vol.  45,  page  304.] 

John'  Best,  the  sen  of  Rowland  Best  of  Twining,  in  the  Co-  of  Glouces- 
ter, yeoman,  and  the  son  and  heir  of  the  said  Rowland,  deceased,  do  here 
declare  this  my  last  will  and  testament  18  June  1G66,  proved  4  May  1667. 
I  give  to  John  Best  the  younger,  the  son  of  John  Best  of  Twining,  and  to

I  give  to  William  Hancocke  of  Twyning  gen',  the  son  of  "William  Hancocke 
of  Breedon's  Norton  Esq.  my  part  of  a  lease  granted  by  the  Dean  acd

Dorothy  and  Elizabeth  Best,  unto  each  of  them  ten  pounds.  To  Susanna 
Hancocke,  the  wife  of  Richard  Hancocke  of  Twyniug,  ten  pounds.  To 
Hester  Best  the  daughter  of  the  aforesaid  Thomas  Best  of  the  Kings  home, 
fifty  pounds.  To  Anne  Darke,  the  wife  of  Thomas  Darke  of  Twvnino', 
five  pounds.  To  Charles  Hancocke,  gen',  of  the  Middle  Temple  in  Lon- 
don, ten  pounds.  To  Thomas  Best's  two  daughters  of  Breedons  Norton, 
Avice  Best  and  Mary  Best,  ten  pounds  apiece.  To  William  Hancocke, 
the  son  of  Edward  Hancocke  of  Twyning,  ten  pounds.  To  Thomas  Sav- 
idge  and  Richard  Savidge,  of  the  city  of  London,  vintners,  ten  pounds 
apiece.  To  Richard  W'ittmore  my  servant  forty  shillings.  '•  Item  I  give 
and  bequeath  unto  Richard  Lea,  the  sonne  of  Collonell  Richard  Lea,  teun 
pounds.  Item  I  give  and  bequeath  unto  fEraucis  Lea  another  sonne  of 
Collonell  Richard  Lea,  tenn  pounds  and  my  sdver  Tankard."  To  Eliza- 
beth Richards  widow,  the  wife  of  John  Richards,  carpenter,  deceased,  five 
pounds.  To  William  Hancocke,  the  sou  of  Thomas  Hancocke  of  the  city 
of  Worcester,  clothier,  five  pounds.  To  the  poor  of  Twyning  eight  pounds. 
To  John  Best  of  Crombe,  clerk,  ten  pounds.  To  .John  Best  of  the  Stone 
seven  pounds  which  he  oweth  us.  To  Sara  Hancocke  of  the  city  of  Wor- 
cester forty  shillings.  To  George  Best,  the  son  of  John  Best  of  T^vyniug 
the  remainder  of  my  lease  of  a  close  of  four  acres  in  Twyning.  To  John  Best 
of  Twyning  the  younger,  the  son  of  John  Best  of  Twyning  the  elder,  all 
my  goods  &c  unbequeathed:  and  I  make  him  sole  executor.       Carr,  b^. 

[Who  can  doubt  that  the  "  Collonell  Richard  Lea"  mentioned  in  the  above 
will  was  Col.  Richard  Lee  of  Virginia?  His  sons  were  named  John,  Richard, 
Francis,  Hancock  and  Charles,  a  very  significant  array  of  baptismal  names 
considered  in  connection  with  the  names  in  this  will.  The  pedigree  of  the 
family  of  Hancock  of  Twining  (co.  Glonc.)  may  be  found  in  the  Visitation  of 
the  County  of  Worcester,  1GS2-3,  published  18t<3  (Walter  C.  ^letcalfe.  F.S.A.). 
It  is  perhaps  needless  to  say  that  I  shall  bear  the  names  of  Best  and  Hancock 
in  mind  in  connection  with  this  problem.  I  have  already  secured  a  few  notes 
about  the  Hancock  family,  and  found  evidence  of  a  connection  between  Shrop- 
shire and  Worcestershire  in  the  will  of  one  John  Best  in  1G31. — n.  f.  w.] 

December  1656.  John  Spexcer.  On  ye  thirtieth  day  issued  forth  Let- 
ters of  Ad"^°  To  Anne  FillioU  Spinster  ye  sister  by  ye  mothers  side  of  John 
Spencer  late  att  Jamaica  in  ye  part  beyond  ye  seas,  Batchelor  deed.  To 
Administer  all  &  siuguler  ye  goods  chells  and  Debts  of  ye  sayd  Deed  Shee 
being  first  sworne  truely  to  administer  &c.,  Penelope  Spencer  ye  mother 
Thomas  Spencer  ye  brother  &  Rachell  Spencer  the  sister  haveing  in  due 
forme  of  Law  renounced  ye  sayd  Adcon  of  ye  sayd  deeds  goods.  As  by  ye 
Acts  of  Court  may  appeare.  P.  P.  C.  Admons  1656,  folio  316. 

[This  is  John  Spenser,  nephew  and  heir  of  John  Spenser  of  Newbury,  whose 
will,  dated  August,  1G37,  was  proved  at  Salem,  March,  1649.  InAustin's 
Rhode  Island  genealog^y,  the  nephew  is  mentioned  as  possibly  identical  with 
John  Spencer  of  Newport  (1G61)  and  East  Greenwich  (1677).  "  Circumstantial 
evidence  pointed  to  this  connection,  and  the  work  of  Spencer  genealogy,  now  in 
process,  has  strongly  favored  it.  Hence  the  importance  of  the  discovery  to 
Spencer  family  history. 

Some  other  items  about  this  line  of  Spencers  in  addition  to  those  supplied  in 
the  will  discovered  last  year  by  Mr.  Waters  (see  Register,  Oct.  1»90,  vol.  44, 
page  391),  are  the  following. 

The  records  of  burial  of  the  two  brothers,  John  and  Thomas,  appear  together 
in  the  parish  register  of  Kingston-upon-Thames,  co.  Surrey,  England,  under 
date,  1C48,  June  23  and  29  respectively. 

The  neighboring  parish  of  Chertsey  has  the  baptisms  of  Thomas  and  Pene- 
lope's children.  Their  marriage  took  place  Sept.  25,  1C23.  as  recorded  in 
register  of  St.  Peter's,  Paul's  Wharf.    Penelope's  maidea  name  vras  Jemegan.

County,  Mass. : 

"  Easter  Marshall,  a  widow  four  score  years  of  age,  living  in  Norton, 
whose  maiden  name  was  Hester  Lugg,  dau.  of  Mr.  John  Lugg  and  Jane  Lugg 
his  wife,  who  lived 'near  the  city  of  Gloucester  in  Great  Britain,  for  and  in 
consideration  of  the  care  which  her  son-in-law,  John  Hall  of  said  Norton, 
hath  for  many  years  past  taken  of  her  in  her  old  age,  and  that  he  cou- 
tinueth  to  take  the  like  care  of  her,*aud  hath  obliged  himself  to  provide  for 
her  all  things  necessary  for  her  comfort  during  her  natural  life,  and  for  other 
good  causes  and  considerations  especially  moving,"  etc.  Gives  all  her 
rights,  etc.  in  the  estate  of  her  honored  father  and  mother,  John  Lugg  and 
Jane  Lugg,  deceased,  and  in  any  other  estate  of  her  kindred  and  relatives 
which  might  come  to  her  in  Great  Britain  or  New  England,  to  her  son-in-law 
John  Hall,  whom  she  appoints  her  attorney. 

This  proves  that  John  Lugg  and  his  wife  Jane  of  Boston,  came  from  the 
vicinity  of  the  city  of  Gloucester,  England,  and  with  other  known  facts  leaves 
little  doubt  that  Jane  Lugi?,  was  a  daughter  of  John  Deighton  and  a  sister  of 
Frances  wife  of  Richard  Williams  and  of  Katharine  successively  wife  of  Samuel 
Hagburne,  Gov.  Thomas  Dudley  and  Rev.  John  Allia.  Messrs.  Lugg,  Hagbm-ne 
and  Williams  probably  came  from  Gloucestershire  to  New  England  about  the 
same  time. 

John  Lugg  settled  at  Boston.  His  lands  are  recorded  in  the  Book  of  Posses- 
sions (Record  Commissioners'  Second  Report,  part  ii.,  second  edition,  page  23). 
They  were  on  the  southerly  side  of  the  present  School  street,  on  or  near  wlu^re 
the  easterly  end  of  the  Parker  House  now  stands.  His  wife  Jane  was  admitted 
to  the  First  Church,  Feb.  10,  1638-9  (Winsor's  '■  Memorial  History  of  Boston," 
vol.  i.  p.  572). — After  his  death  his  widow  marriod  Jonathan  Xeizus.  <Jij  the 
27th  of  October,  1647,  Negus  was  "  granted  the  inheritance  of  the  house  and 
ground  of  John  Lug  to  the  value  of  20"  that  he  may  dispose  of  the  same  towards 
the  education  of  his  five  children"  (Mass.  Col.  Records,  ii.  198). 

Besides  Estlier,  the  maker  of  the  deed,  who  must  have  been  born  in  England, 
John  and  Jane  Lu^rg  had  three  children,  born  in  Boston,  where  tlieir  births  are 
entered  on  the  town,  and  their  baptisms  on  the  church,  records.  Thtyhvcre 
Elizabeth,  b.  1633-0 ;  Mary,  b.  1642,  and  John,  b.  1644.  Esther  Lugg  married 
1st,  James  Bell.  For  a  record  of  their  children  see  Reglstkr,  vol.  16,  pp.  327-8. 
He  was  killed  by  the  Indians  in  1676,  while  laboring  in  the  field  iu  that  part  of 
Taunton  now  Raynham  (Baylies's  Memoir  of  Pijmcuth  Colony,  part  3,  p.  ii^2).

His  widow  Esther  married  Richard  Marshall,  Feb.  11,  167S-7  (Register,  vol. 
17,  p.  236).  Of  the  children  of  James  and  Esther  Bell,  Mary,  b.  July  7,  1660.

Dear  ^  Loving  Sister,  Virginia,  June  y«  22^  1699. 

I  had  the  happiness  to  see  a  Letter  which  vou  sent  to  my  Aunt  Howard 
who  died  about  a  year  and  a  half  ago;  I  had"" heard  of  vou  by  her  before! 
but  could  not  tell  whether  you  were  alive  or  not.  It  was  trulv  ^reat  joy 
to  hear  that  I  had  such  a  relation  alive  as  vourself ;  not  uavin^'any  such  a 
one  by  my  Father's  side  as  yourself.  Sly  Father  had  one  Dau-hter  by 
my  Mother,  who  died  when  she  was  verv  vouna.  before  my  remembran-e. 
My  Mother  had  three  Daughters  when  my  Father  married  her,  one  died 
last  winter,  and  left  four  or  five  children,  the  other  two  are  alive  &  married 
and  have  had  several  children.  My  Mother  married  another  man  after  my 
leather,  who  spent  all,  so  that  I  had  not  the  value  of  twenty  shillinas  of 
my  lather's  Estate,  I  being  the  youngest  &  therefore  the  weakest,  which 
generally  comes  ofF  short.  But  I  thank  God  mv  Fortune  has  been  pretty 
good  since,  as  I  have  got  a  kind  and  loving  wife,  by  whom  I  have  had  three 
sons  and  a  daughter,  of  which  I  have  buried  my  daughter  and  one  son  I 
am  afraid  I  shall  never  have  the  happiness  of  seeing  vou,  since  it  has 
pleased  God  to  set  us  at  such  a  distance,  but  hoping  to  hear>rom  you  by  all 
opportunities,  which  you  shall  assuredly  do  from  him  that  is.

In  the  New  York  Xation  for  July  16,  1891,  the  editor  quotes  from  a  corres- 
pondent, w-ho,  we  are  informed'  is  Mr.  N.  Daniell  Davis  of  Georgeto^vn, 
Demarara,  to  the  eflect  that  the  original  manuscripts  on  which  AValker's  Sufter- 
ings  of  the  Clcr^-v  is  founded  are  preserved  in  the  Bodleian  Library,  Oxford. 
"  There  are  a'x-ut  25  or  30  volumes  iu  all.  Of  these  some  seven  are  of  a  bio- 
graphical nature,  consisting  of  letters  from  persons  who  gave  facts  set  forth  in 
the  printed  work."  Mr.  Davis  being  interested  in  the  question  of  Washington's 
ancestry  made  a  rapid  glance  over  these  volumes,  which  are  not  indexed,  in  the 
hope  of  linding  the  letter  Miiich  gave  a  good  character  to  Rev.  Lawrence  AVash- 
ington  of  Pnrleigh,  and  possibly  learning  the  name  of  the  small  livins:  which  he 
■was  allowed  to  hold.  But  he  was  unsuccessful.  The  next  mouth  Mr.  Waters- 
Tisited  Oxford  and  examined  the  books  with  a  better  result,  as  is  shown  in  a 
communication  from  ilr.  Whitmore  in  the  Xation  for  October  8th  lastj  as 
follows : 

"  Following  up  the  suggestion  made  in  the  Xation  for  July  16,  1891,  that  the 
manuscript  authorities  for  Walker's  '  Account  of  the  Sufferings  of  the  Clergy' 
were  in  the  Bodleian  Library,  Mr.  H.  F.  Waters  has  recently  examined  the 
volumes  with  gratifying  results.  He  wTites  under  date  of  Sept.  1,  1891 :  •  This 
afternoon  I  came  upon  the  chief  letter  upon  which  he  [Walker]  evidently  de- 
pended for  his  information  about  the  sequestered  rector  of  Purle\gh.'  This  let- 
ter, he  adds — '  was  iu  worse  order  than  anything  I  had  been  lookini2:  at.  It, 
and  two  or  three  accompanying  papers,  had  evidently  suffered  from  dampness, 
and  had  been  eaten,  I  think,  by  tiles,  perhaps  by  mice.  The  letter  was  probably 
written  in  1706  (judging  from  the  dates  of  those  near  it),  but  where  from  or 
by  whom,  there  was  nothing  on  the  face  of  it  to  disclose  at  first  sight.  It  was 
devoted  to  the  cases  of  Mr.  Cherry,  :Mr.  Washington,  and  Mi*.  Wright  of 
Witham.  He  spoke  of  ]Mr.  Chei-ry,  as  having  'dwelt  20  miles  from  me.'  A. 
little  further  on  he  writes  :  '  The  first  visitation  our  diocesan  made  here  at 
Easterford  Kelvedon  Mr.  Cherry  preached,'  etc.     Then  comes  this  reference  : 

"  'I  doe  not  remember  that  ever  I  knew  or  heard  of  Mr.  Washington  after 
he  had  been  sequestered,  but  there  was  then  one  Mr.  Roberts  a  neighbor  of 
mine  who  was  owner  and  patron  of  a  parish  so  small  that  nobody  would  accept 
of  his  church  (but  with  ditliculty)  and  Mr.  Roberts  entertained  Mr.  Washinirton, 
■where  he  was  suffered  quietly  to  preach.  I  have  heard  him  and  tooke  him  to  be 
a  very  worthy  pious  man.  I  have  been  in  his  company  there,  and  he  appeared 
a  very  modest  sober  person,  and  I  heard  him  recommended  as  such  by  several 
gentlemen  who  knew  him  before  I  did.  He  was  a  loyal  person,  and  had  one  of 
the  best  benefices  in  these  parts,  and  this  was  the  onely  cause  of  his  expulsion  as 
I  verily  believe.' 

"  Mr.  Waters  adds  that  against  both  paracrraphs — viz..  those  relating  to  Mr. 
Cherry  and  to  Mr.  Washington — Walker  had  written,  '  See  last  paragraph  in  this 

.  J.  W.'     Turning  to  the  last  paragraph,  where  dampness  and  flies  had  done 

the  most  mischief,  Mr.  Waters  could  make  out  only  the  word  '  Braxted.'  A 
reference  to  Morant's  '  Essex '  showed  that  Braxted  Parva  was  just  such  a  poor, 
mean  living,  and  that  the  patron  was  Thomas  Roberts.  The  Visitation  of 
Essex  shows  the  Robertses  to  have  been  there  for  four  generations  iu  1(;3-1.  A 
comparison  of  handwritings  showed  that  the  Avriter  of  this  letter  was  the 
Henry  Ayloffe  who  wrote  anotlier  letter  in  the  same  collection,  under  date  of 
March  26,  1706,  annotated  by  Walker  as  'Esquire  and  Justice  of  the  Peace.' 
As  Morant  says  tliat  tlie  Ayloffes  had  their  chief  seat  at  Braxted  Ma:rna,  this 
letter  seems  to  be  of  the  hiLrhest  authority.  There  was  a  Henry  Ayloffe.  third 
son.  born  about  1630,  according  to  the  vi.^itation  of  Essex,  in  163-1,  who  seems 
to  be  the  writer.     The  early  register  of  Little  BrxLxted  seems  to  be  lost,  but

irromMr.  Davuis's  book  I  -lean  one  or  two  iutcrestin?  points.  Thus  he 
states  (p.  302)  m  regard  to  Braxted  Parva,  '•  The  return  inlG.30  i>  '  Mr  A\'hite 
was  presented,  but  he  hath  left  it  about  three  years,  and  Mr.  Robert's  orovides

tIi  >■  ^^'J^*^"'i;V'  ^'"-Sf!  °-f  blessing,  that  he  was  sequestered  at  Bishopsgate  in

L.ittle  Braxted,  for  upwards  of  six  at  St.  Osyth.  where  he  is  found  in  1550.  and 
Ultimately  became  rector  of  Doddinghurst,  where  he  died." 

"It  would  seem.  then,  that  Mr.  Roberts  had  given  this  '  poor  livin«''  first 
about  ItUo,  to  Xthemiah  Rogers:  then,  about  1(J47  or  8,  Mr.  White  was  pre- 
sented, but  m  place  of  him  Lawrence  Washin-ton  took  it.  It  is  certaiulf  very 
canons  that  it  was  John  R,.gers.  son  of  Nehemiah,  who  expelled  Washington 
from  Pur leigh  (p.  272),  and  that  the  latter  Ava^  thrown  upon  the  same  chm-ity 
^hich  had  supported  Rogers's  f.-.ther.  As  Xeliemiah  and  his  son  seem  to  have 
Deeu  on  opposite  .-^ules.  I  presume  that  there  was  no  retaliation  in  this. 

'  If,  by  auy  happy  chance,  the  family  papers  of  the  Robert^es  of  Little 
Braxted  have  been  preseiwed,  we  may  yet  learn  something  of  this  patron  of  dis- 
tressed clergymen.  The  first  of  the  name  at  that  place  was  Thomas,  auditor  to 
nei-ry  v  111.  His  son  was  Clement,  whose  son  Thomas  married  Alice  Hobson

I^ond.on  ^,Ap.s  and  Queries.  July  II,  1801.  page  23,  who  writes  under  the  si-na- 
ture of  '•  \  ernon.  '  Among  other  things,  Vernon  speaks  of  some  deeds  which 
she  had  lately  copied,  one  of  which  "  puts  beyond  a  doubt  "  that  Sir  John  was 
^^f  ^*  V^  ""^  Lawrence  Wa^himrton  of  Sulgrave.  This  confirms  a  suspicion 
ot  Mr.  \\  aters,  which  he  communicated  to  me  some  twD  vears  ago.  "  Vernon  " 
IS  Mrs.  Veniona  I  C.  Smith  of  Barnes,  Surrey,  England,"  as  appears  by  her  let- 
ter to  the  Nation  for  November  2(5.  In  that  letter  she  states  that  the  documents 
relating  to  the  ^  ashingtons,  referred  to  by  her  in  Xotes  and  Queri>>s,  have  been 
sent  to  an  American  friend.  I  hope  that  this  -entleman  wiU  give  the  substance 
of  them  to  the  public  in  due  time. 

The  Rev.  Edward  D.  NeiU,  D.D.,  of  St.  Paul,  3Iinn..  has  contributed  to  the 
Ration,  yov.  19,  1891.  further  details  relative  to  the  family  of  William  Brod- 
nutst  of  LiUeshall.  Shropshire,  whose  son  Walter's  widow,  nee  Ann  Pope,  was 
the  second  wite  of  John  Washinirton  (rrnt^,  vol.  44.  pp.  80,  195-<;).  T^e 
baptisms  of  the  children  of  the  second  Walter  Brodhnr>t,  half-brother  of  Law- 
rence Washington,  are  given  by  Dr.  NeiU,  from  the  parish  register  at  LiUeshall, 
as  are  the  inscriptions  on  the  tombstones  of  two  of  them. 

It  WiU  be  remembered  that  Col.  Chester  at  one  time  was  very  anxious  to  ob- 
tain a  copy  of  the  signature  of  John  Washington,  the  emigrant,  to  compare 
with  that  of  John  W.,  of  London,  on  a  deed  dated  in  IG57,  as  was  stated  by 
Col.  Chester  in  the  Xew  York  World  March  29,  1879.  and  repeated  by  us  in  the 
KEGLbiER,  vol.  4o,  p.  203.     By  the  expressions  which  he  used,  it  was  understood

that  this  deed  Tvas  in  Col.  Chester's  possession,  and  his  executor,  Mr.  Cockayne, 
has  tiudly  made  thorough  but  futile  search  for  it.  By  a  letter  received  recently 
from  Mr.  James  Coleman,  of  Tottenham  Terrace,  London  N.,  it  seems  tl\at  he 
advertised  this  dued  in  his  catalogue,  vol.  xii.  No.  110,  for  1S77.  He  sold  it  to 
Col.  TV.  Newsome,  II.  E.,  before  Col.  Chester  arrived;  but,  as  it  had  not  been 
delivered,  CoL  C.  was  able  to  make  an  abstract  and  to  trace  the  signature.  Col. 
Newsome,  in  1379,  printed  privately  a  tract  entitled  "  Yorkshire  as  the  Home 
of  the  Washiugtons."  (See  Register,  vol.  -1-1.  p.  200.)  He  cites  this  deed, 
without  sayiug  that  he  owned  it.  From  the  catalogue  kindly  furnished  us  by 
Mr. Coleman  we  copy  the  description.  It  was  a  deed,  dated  1657,  signed  by  .John 
"Washington,  citizen  and  draper,  and  ^Margaret  his  wife,  one  of  the  dauirhters 
of  Henry  Harwood.  gent.,  to  Robert  Abbott,  citizen  and  scrivener,  relating  to 
houses  near  Fleet  Bridge,  London.  Xewsome  adds  the  precise  date  of  the  deed, 
June  o,  1657,  and  states  that  Margaret  was  one  of  six  children,  the  -others  being 
Thomas,  Henry,  Frances,  JIartha  and  Mai-y  Harwood;  and  that  their  mother 
was  named  Martha.  It  seems  that  Col.  Xewsomc's  papers  are  not  at  present 
accessible;  but  now  that  we  know  that  Col.  Chester  had  only  an  abstract  and 
a  tracing  of  a  signature,  these  may  possibly  be  found  in  his  papers.  The 
admissions  to  the  Drapers'  Company,  if  still  preserved,  should  show  the  parent- 
age of  this  London  man.  Of  course,  we  can  now  refer  to  the  original  signature 
of  Col.  John  Washington  of  Virici^iia,  on  hisTii.ll.  A  facsimile  of  this  signature 
will  be  found  in  vol.  45  of  the  Register,  facing  page  19y.  Col.  Chester  stated 
in  the  Xcv:i  York  World  that  he  knew  the  history  of  the  London  John  AVashington. 
Two  pamphlets  on  the  genealogy  of  the  Washington  family  have  lately  ap- 
peared, the  titles  of  which  will  be  found  in  the  Book  Notices  in  this  number.  Oue, 
by  Col.  Thornton  A.  Washington  of  Washington,  D.  C,  gives  the  descendants  of 
the  elder  emigrant  John  Washington  in  tlie  line  of  President  Washington,  and 
continues  it  in  the  line  of  the  president's  eldest  full  brother,  Samuel.  The 
other  is  by  Rev.  Horace  Edwin  Hayden,  ]\I.A.,  of  Wilkes-Barre.  Pa.,  and  Is 
devoted  to  the  descendants  of  the  younger  emigrant  Lawrence. — Eoitoe.

58  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler.  [Jan. 


REV.   STEPHEN  BACHILER. 

By  the  Hon.  Charles  E.  Batchelder,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

The  word  '*  bachelor  "  has  long  been  a  sore  puzzle  to  etymologists,  says 
Lower,  in  his  work  on  English  Surnames,*  That  the  name  "'  Bachelor," 
however  spelled,  is  the  same  as  the  word  "  bachelor,"  meaning  an  unmarried 
man  or  a  college  graduate,  is  unquestioned,  but  many  derivations  have  been 
given  by  different  authors  to  account  for  the  meaning  of  the  word,  some 
most  fanciful  and  even  grotesque,  others  with  more  probability  of  correct- 
ness. Knights  bachelors  were  the  most  ancient,  though  the  lowest  order, 
of  knighthood  in  England. 

It  is  said  in  a  note  to  Chitty's  Blackstone  that  the  most  probable  deriva- 
tion of  "  bachelor  "  is  from  has  and  chevalier,  an  inferior  knight.f 

The  derivation  of  the  word  is  given  in  Webster's  Dictionary  as  from  the 
old  French  '*  bachiler,"  meaning  "  a  young  man,"  A  common  derivation 
given  is  from  "  baccalaureus,"  having  reference  to  the  chaplet  of  laurel 
berries  with  which  the  new  bachelor  of  arts  was  crowned.  The  earliest 
mention  of  the  name  indicates  that  it  was  given  originally  to  mark  the  con- 
dition of  its  possessor  as  an  unmarried  man  or  as  a  youug  man.  when  there 
was  an  elder  person  of  the  same  Christian  name  living  in  the  neighborhood. 
The  Euglish  registers  of  the  thirteenth  and  fourteenth  centuries,  where  we 
first  meet  the  name,  use  the  French  prefix  "  le."  Thus  we  find  Jordanus 
le  Bacheler,+  Gilbert  le  Bacholer.§  that  is,  Jordan  the  bachelor,  Gilbert 
the  bachelor.  We  may  be  reasonably  sure  that  the  names  Jordan  and  Gil- 
bert were  then  so  common  in  a  particular  neighborhood  that  it  was  neces- 
sary to  indicate  by  some  addition  to  the  Jordan  or  Gilbert  that  there  was 
an  elder  or  married  person  of  the  same  name  in  the  immediate  neighbor- 
hood. If  *'  Bachelor  "  meant  simply  an  unmarried  man  it  was  not  proper 
or  fitting  at  the  death  of  Jordan  le  Bacheler  in  1297,  for  he  left  surviving 
him  a  wife,  Alice,  and  a  son,  John.  It  is,  therefore,  probable  that  the  word 
"  Bachelor"  was  used  at  that  time  much  like  junior,  meaning  simply  "  the 
younger,"  and  though  at  first  given  to  an  unmarried  man  was  not  dropped 
upon  marriage,  as  it  was  a  convenient  and  not  inappropriate  designation  of 
the  younger,  whether  single  or  married.  At  a  later  period  the  '•  le,"  being 
superfluous,  was  dropped,  and  in  1433  we  find  John  Bacheler  returned  in 
the  commissioners'  list  of  the  gentry  of  Norfolk,  England,  though  John  y® 
Baschealer  died  at  Kelsale  in  Suffolk,  Feb.  1,  1552.^ 

We  do  not  know  where  the  family  originated.  There  is  the  usual  family 
tradition,  which  bears  on  its  face  the  marks  of  improbability,  that  three 
brothers  by  the  name  of  Bachiler  served  under  William  the  Conqueror  and 
were  rewarded  after  the  battle  of  Hastings  in  1066  by  a  grant  of  land  in 
Wiltshire.  For  sign  manual  they  were  given  a  shield  upon  which  were 
three  boar's  heads,  united  by  three  links,  a  spear  above  them  couchant. 
There  was  no  crest,  indicating  that  they  were  private  soldiers.

1892.]  Rev.  Stephen  Backiler.  59 

Before  1600  we  find  the  family  name  in  the  counties  of  Kent.  Surrey, 
Sussex,  Wilts,  Hampshire.  Bucks,  Middlesex,  Norfolk  and  SutFolk,  all  in 
the  south-eastern  part  of  England.  Very  few  are  found  north  of  London. 
The  earliest  mention  of  the  name  is  found  in  Surrey,  and  very  probably 
Surrey  or  vSussex  was  the  earliest  home  of  the  Bachilers. 

It  is  impossible,  at  present,  to  trace  the  relationship,  if  any  existed,  be- 
tween the  early  Bachiler  families  in  England,  or  to  decide  whethe.'  the  first 
emigrants  of  that  name  to  America  were  kindred.  The  Ipswich  and  Salem 
emigrants  were  brothers.  The  names  associated  in  some  of  the  early  Eng- 
lish families  indicate  that  Alexander  Bacheler.  the  emigrant,  of  Portsmouth, 
was  a  relative  of  the  Salem  and  Ipswich  Bachilers,  as  Mark  Bacheller  of 
Brading,  in  the  Isle  of  Wight,  died  about  1G14.  leaving  a  brother  Alexan- 
der Bacheller,  two  sons.  John  Bacheller  the  elder  and  John  Bacheller  the 
younger,  and  fhree  daughters.*  Mark  was  a  family  name  among  the  Salem 
Bachilers,  but  neither  that  name  nor  Alexander  has  been  found  elsewhere  in 
the  English  families.  Such  evidence  is  of  course  slight,  but  is  worth  noting 
in  the  absence  of  more  convincing  facts.  It  is  probable  that  other  relation- 
ship existed  between  some  of  the  Bachiler  emigrants,  but  further  and  more 
careful  search  must  be  made  in  England  before  this  interesting  question  of 
relationship  can  be  settled. 

There  were  seven  immigrants  of  the  Bachiler  name : 

1.  Alexander  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

2.  Rev.  Stephen  of  Lynn.  Mass.,  and  Hampton,  N.  H. 

3.  Henry  of  Ipswich.  Mass. 

4.  Joseph  of  Salem.  Mass.  (now  Wenham). 

5.  John  of  Salem,  Mass. 

6.  William  of  Chariest  own,  Mass. 

7.  John  of  Watertown,  Dedham  and  Reading,  Mass. 

There  are  living  descendants  of  the  Bachiler  name  from  four  of  these 
immigrants,  namely,  Rev.  Stephen,  Joseph  and  John  of  Salem,  and  John  of 
Reading. 

It  is  not  proposed  in  this  article  to  give  a  sketch  of  the  lives  of  any  of 
these  nrst  settlers,  except  that  of  Rev.  .Stephen  Bachiler,  and  in  his  case 
about  all  that  can  be  done  is  to  rearrange  the  old  material,  add  some  new 
facts,  recently  discovered,  and  correct  the  numerous  and  gross  errors  in 
regard  to  his  immediate  descendants.  , 

The  treatment  accorded  to  those  early  citizens  of  Massachusetts  Bay, 
who  fell  under  "  suspicion,"  at  the  hands  of  their  more  othodox  brethren, 
has  been  so  long  frankly  acknowledged  and  the  causes  so  thoroughly  ex- 
plained, that  it  can  no  longer  be  considered  derogatory  to  the  Massachusetts 
Commonwealth  to  speak  plainly  concerning  the  treatment  of  Williams, 
Wheelwright  and  other  disturbers  of  the  Puritan  State.  To  do  otherwise 
would  be  affectation.  There  was  intolerance  on  the  part  of  the  Bay  Colony 
and  also  on  the  side  of  "  the  suspected."  The  latter  should  have  withdrawn 
voluntarily  from  the  settlement  previously  occupied  by  the  church-state 
party,  and  the  former  had  not  then  learned  that  the  sure  way  to  perpetuate 
heterodoxy  is  to  persecute  and  punish  its  adhei'ents.  Naturally  the  Massa- 
chusetts historians  have  chronicled  the  virtues  of  the  clergymen  who  upheld 
the  Massachusetts  plan,  and  the  opponents  of  that  plan,  being  negb-cted, 
were  s[)eedily  forgotten.  It  is  said  of  Samuel  .Skeiton  of  Salem,  Mass., 
"  Little  has  come  down  to  us  conceiuing  him,  owing,  it  is  said,  to  the  fact

of  the  Church  of  Holy  Cross  and  St.  Peter.*  On  the  26th  of  January. 
1587-8,  the  new  incumbent  compounded  for  the  payment  of  the  tirst  fruits 
of  the  vicarage. 

The  vilhige  of  TVherTrell  stretches  along  the  westerly  bank  of  that  "  trout- 
ful  stream  "  the  Test,  in  Hampshire,  three  and  one  half  miles  from  Ando- 
ver.  Very  great  historical  interest  attaches  to  this  retired  town  and  its 
ancient  monastery.  Wherweil  Abbey  has  been  the  home  or  the  abiding 
place  of  three  and  perhaps  four  English  queens,  who  were  renowned  for 
their  extraordinary  beauty.  The  parish  of  Wherwell  hardly  had  any  ex- 
istence apart  from  tne  Abbey  down  to  the  year  1543,  for  until  that  time 
the  Superior  of  the  Monastery  was  Lady  of  the  Manor,  and  owned  the 
whole  village  and  a  large  part  of  the  neighborhood.  The  same  church 
served  for  the  parish  and  the  monastery,  with  presumably  a  chapel  for 
parochial  services  as  at  Romsey.  It  had  also  a  chapel  with  a  special  en- 
trance which  was  appropriated  to  the  '*  Priory  "  as  a  pew.  The  earliest 
mention  of  ^Vherwell,  or  Whorewell,  as  it  was  then  called,  is  found  in  the 
v/ill  of  King  Edred,  A.D.  946.  955.  He  gave  the  town  to  the  new  3Ion- 
astery,  subsequently  called  Hyde  Abbey.  In  the  year  985  ^'Elfrida  founded 
Wiierwell  Abbey  for  Benedictine  nuns  in  penitence  for  the  bloodshed  in 
which  she  had  been  concerned.  In  the  chartulary  of  Wherwell  Al)bey  the 
story  is  thus  told  :  "  And  in  the  place,  which  by  the  inhabitants  is  called 
Wherwell,  founded  the  Church  of  the  Holy  Cross,  beseeching  Christ,  that 
He  who.  wounded  on  the  (ever)  memorable  Cross,  shed  His  blood  for  the 
redemption  of  the  human  race,  might  deign  to  grant  her  the  pardon  (pur- 
chased) by  His  death,  His  wounds,  and  by  the  shedding  of  His  blood  rich 
(in  graces)."! 

Wherwell  contains  five  hundred  and  forty-one  inhabitants,  and  must  have 
been  a  very  retired  spot  until  the  London  and  South  Western  Railroad  ran 
a  branch  line  through  the  town  about  the  year  1883,  and  built  a  very  sub- 
Btantial  and  commodious  station  at  Fullerton  in  the  parish  of  Wherwell. 
Many  of  the  residences,  and  especially  the  old  court  house  near  the  station. 
are  of  early  date  and  look  as  if  they  had  not  changed  appreciably  in  three 
centuries.  The  old  Parish  Church  of  Holy  Cross  and  St.  Peter  was  pulled 
down  and  rebuilt  in  1858.  The  old  building  was  repaired  after  the  Re- 
formation with  the  best  portions  of  the  Abbey  ruins.  With  the  exception 
of  some  fragments  of  mouldings,  one  monumental  effigy,  and  parts  of  two 
monuments,  there  are  absolutely  no  traces  of  the  old  church. | 

Of  Stephen  Bachiler's  life  at  Wherwell  we  know  nothing.  The  Church 
records  were  begun  in  1634,  or  at  all  events  no  earlier  records  now  exist. 
We  only  know  that  he  remained  here  until  1605.  for  on  the  ninth  da}'  of 
August,  1605,  John  Bate,  A.M.,  clergyman,  was  appointed  Vicar  of  Wher- 
well, a  vacancy  existing  because  of"  the  ejection  of  Stephen  Bachiler,"  the 
last  vicar. §  Not  much  more  is  known  of  his  life  in  England,  from  the  loss 
of  his  living  at  Wherwell  to  the  sj^ring  of  1632.  when  he  sailed  for  New 
England.  Fie  was  excommunicated  from  the  church,  and  so  no  church 
record  exists  showing  his  abiding  places.  Probably  he  preached  to  dif- 
ferent congregations,  not  in  a  settled  wav,  but  when  he  couM  avoid  the 
persecution  of  the  church  people.  Occasionally  we  get  a  glimpse  of  his 
location.     In  1610  he  appears  to  be  still  a  "clergyman  of  the  County  of

62  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler.  [Jan. 

Southampton."*  On  the  11th  of  June,  1G21,  Adam  Winthrop's  diary 
shows  that  he  "had  Mr.  Bachelour.  the  preacher"  to  dine  with  him,  pre- 
sumably at  Groton  in  Suffolk.  This  may  have  beeu  the  subject  of  this 
sketch. 

Some  of  the  parishioners  of  Barton  Stacey  in  Hampshire,  a  few  miles 
east  of  Wherwell.  listened  to  his  sermons  at  some  time  before  1632,  for  we 
fiud  that  Sir  Robert  Paine  petitioned  the  Council,  stating  that  he  was  sheriff 
of  Hants  in  that  year  and  was  also  chosen  churchwarden  of  Barton  Stacey, 
and  that  "  some  of  the  parishioners,  petitioner's  tenants,  having  beeu  for- 
merly misled  by  Stephen  Bachelor,  a  notorious  iuconformist,  had  demolished 
a  consecrated  chapel  at  xSewton  Stacey,  neglected  the  repair  of  their  parish 
church,  maliciously  opposed  petitioner's  intent  (to  repair  the  church  at  his 
own  charge),  and  executed  many  things  in  contempt  of  the  canons  and  the 
bishop. t  Once  more  we  hear  from  him  on  the  2od  of  June.  1631,  when,  at 
the  age  ef  seventy  years,  he  obtains  leave  to  visit  his  sons  and  daughters  in 
Flushing.  He  was  then  resident  at  South  Stoneham,  in  the  Couutv  of 
Southampton,  and  desires  that  his  wife  Helen,  aged  forty-ei^ht  years, 
and  his  daughter,  Ann  Sandburn,  of  age  thirty  years,  widow,  resident  iu 
the  Strand,  might  accompany  him.  He  was  to  return  within  two  months.J 
It  would  be  interesting  to  know  which  of  his  sons  and  dauo;hters  then 
lived  at  Flushing,  as  Deborah  Wing  was  apparently  residing  in  London  in 
November,  1629,  when  her  husband,  John  Wing,  made  his  will  and  pre- 
sumably she  was  appointed  executrix  of  the  will  when  it  was  proved 
August  4,  1630,  as  Mr.  Waters  makes  no  note  that  administration  was 
granted  to  any  other  person  than  the  executrix  named  in  the  will.§ 

Stephen  Bachiler  was  excommunicated  among  the  earliest  of  the  non- 
conformists. On  the  death  of  I^lizabeth  in  1603,  James  I.  of  the  house  of 
Stuart  came  to  the  throne.  In  January,  1604,  the  famous  Hampton  Court 
conference  was  held,  when  King  James  uttered  his  angry  threat  against 
the  Puritans,  "  I  will  make  them  conform  or  I  will  harry  them  out  of  the 
kingdom." 

The  next  year  the  King's  threat  was  carried  out  against  Mr.  Bachiler, 
and  no  doubt  he  was  thoroughly  "harried"  after  his  excommunication. 
Winthrop  says  that  Bachiler  •'  had  suffered  much  at  the  hands  of  the 
bishops."^ 

As  early  as  1630  Bachiler  had  determined  to  leave  England  and  settle 
in  America.  At  all  events  he  made  preparation  for  such  removal.  Mave- 
rick, in  his  Description  of  New  England,  says  "  there  was  a  patent  granted 
to  Christo:  Batchelo'' and  Company**  in  the  year  1632  or  therealH)Uts,tt 
for  the  mouth  of  the  River  (Sagadahocke)  and  some  tract  of  land  adjacent 
who  came  over  in  the  ship  named  the  Plough,  and  termed  themselves  the 
Plough  Companie,  but  soon  scattered,  some  for  Virginia,  some  for  Eu^'-land, 
some  to  the  3Iassachusetts  never  settling  on  that  laud. "ft

Natascott  [Nantasket].  She  brought  ten  passengers  from  London.  They 
came  with  a  patent  to  Sagadahock:  but  not  liking  the  place  they  came 
hither.     Most  of  them  proved  familists  and  vanished  away."* 

It  has  been  said  that  this  grant  was  afterv/ards  called  the  province  of 
Lygonia,  after  Cicely  Lygon,  the  mother  of  Sir  Ferdinaudo  Gorges;  but 
Maverick  says  there  was  a  patent  granted  for  this  (Casco)  Bay  some  vears 
since  by  the  title  of  the  Province  of  Ligonia  to  Collonel  Alexander  Rigby, 
which  is  no  doubt  true.  It  is  earuestly'to  be  hoped  that  this  Plough  pa'tent 
or  a  copy  will  sometime  be  discovered.  At  present  it  is  impossible  to  de- 
fine the  extent  of  ,he  grant  or  to  prove  beyond  question  what  territory  was 
occupied  under  it.  Hubbard  says  it  was  south  of  the  Sagadahock  Rive'raud 
twenty  miles  from  the  sea  side,  yet  all  agree  that  the  original  grant  was 
forty  miles  square.  Two  contemporary  writers  say  it  was  a  patent  for 
Sagadahock.f  Two  islands  in  the  River  Sagadahock,  near  the  south  side 
thereof,  abouc  sixty  miles  from  the  sea,  are  included  m  the  grant,  but  no 
such  islands  exist. 

Great  ignorance  of  our  geography  was  shown  in  making  the  earlv  grants, 
and  they  frequently  overlap  earlier  grants.  Sagadahock  was  a  very  elastic 
word^in  early  days.  It  was  applied  to  the  river  formed  by  the  union  of 
the  Kennebec  and  Androscoggin,  also  to  the  region  about  that  river,  pro- 
bably on  both  sides,  like  the  present  county  of  Sagadahock,  and  in  later 
times  to  all  the  laud  east  of  the  Sagadahock  River  to  the  St.  Croix. | 

It  seems  most  probable  that  the  Plough  grant  began  at  the  mouth  of  the 
Sagadahock,  ran  inland  on  that  river  and  the  Androscoggin  forty  miles  in 
a  straight  line,  but  sixty  measured  on  the  river,  and  forty  miles  south  and 
a  like  distance  back  from  the  Ocean.  This  was  found  to  overlap  earlier 
grants,  which  had  been  so  frequently  made  of  Sagadahock.§ 

*  Winthrop's  N.  E.,  L*  58,  Prince  357.  The  last  clause  was  added  Ions  after  its  date  by 
Wmthrop  or  a  l£;er  hand.  It  has  served  as  a  basis  for  a  careless  Maine  Vriter  to  charge 
that  Stephen  Bachiler  was  a  familist.  Fortunately  other  manifest  errors  in  the  same  article 
indicate  its  untru.^tworthiness.  It  is  evident  that  the  members  of  the  Plough  companv  who 
oime  over  in  1632  were  not  familists.  The  fact  is  ihat  many  of  the  earlier  settlers  of  New 
England  were  of  bad  reputation.  Hundreds  of  iijnoraut,  starving  creatures  were  taken 
from  the  streets  and  sent  over  by  unscrupulous  adventurers,  and  innumerable  convicts 
wereset  free  on  condition  of  emigrating  to  New  En-land.  The  later  colonists,  especially 
those  coming  m  the  great  movement  between  1630  and  1G40,  were  much  superior  tn  the 
earlier  immigrants.  Winthrop  would  have  known  and  mentioned  the  fact  if  Bachiler  had 
been  tainted  with  familism.  In  mattirs  of  opinion,  that  is  of  behef,  Dalton  and  Bachiler 
apeed,  says  Winthrop.  Who  ever  heard  that  Dalton  entertained  faminstic  opinions  f  The 
charge  is  ndiculous  and  utterly  unsupported.

When  the  territory  was  actually  settled  it  was  found  that  the  bounds 
could  only  extend  from  the  west  side  of  Cape  Porpoise  to  the  east  side  of 
Cape  Elizabeth,  a  distance  less  than  twenty  miles,  as  Casco  and  most  of  the 
territory  east  of  the  Sagadahock,  had  been  previously  occupied  under  other 
grants.

LEE   OF  VIEGIXIA. 

By  J.  Henby  Lsa,  Esq.,  Cedarhurst,  Fairhaven,  Mass. 

The  writer  has  had  the  pleasure  of  laying  before  the  readers  of 
the  Eegister  tor  January,  1890  (volume  44,  pages  103  to  111), 
what  seemed  to  him  at  the  time,  and  has  been  generally  admitted  by 
others  since,  to  be  convincing  proof  of  the  error  of  the  previously 
accepted  pedigree  of  the  family  of  the  Leea  of  Virginia  by  which 
they  had  claimed  descent  from  the  Lees  of  Quarrendon. 

The  promise  he  then  made  of  following  this  by  another  article, 
rebuilding  what  he  had  then  destroyed,  he  is  now'  able  to,  at  least 
partially,  fulfil — clear  proof  having  been  obtained  that  the  surmise 
before  made  was  absolutely  correct  and  that  Col.  Eichard  Lee  wa& 
actually  a  cadet  of  the  ancient  family  of  Lee  of  Lano;ley  in  Salop, 
as  had  already  been  asserted  on  the  tomb-stone  of  his  second  son, 
Richard,  and  to  support  which  we  have  now  the  testimony  not  only 
of  this  Richard's  elder  brother  John,  but  likewise  that  of  Col.  Eichard 
Lee,  the  emigrant,  himself,  as  well  as  the  books  of  the  College  of 
Arms,  the  well  known  authority  on  all  matters  heraldic  and  gene- 
alogic  in  England. 

It  seems  then,  referring  to  the  proofs  which  follow,  that  CoL 
Richard  Lee  both  used  and  claimed  the  arms  and  descent  of  the 
Langley  family,  and  not  only  did  he  do  so,  but  that  this  claim  wae- 
admitted  by  the  then  officers  of  the  College,  as  is  shown  by  the 
letter  cited  of  John  Gibbons,  Blue  Mantle,  who  wrote  in  1682,  or 
only  nineteen  years  after  the  death  of  the  emigrant,  with  whom  he 
seems  to  have  been  on  terms  of  personal  intimacy. 
.  The  Queen's  College  Cup,  of  which  an  excellent  illustration 
accompanies  this  article,  leaves  no  doubt  whatever  as  to  the  belief 

begin  60  miles  vp  Chenebeck  River,  because  the  Patent  saith,  it  must  lie  nere  two  Islands 
which  are  about  60  miles  from  the  sea.  Ffor  answer  to  it  the  Patent  also  saith.  the  tract  of 
land  40  miles  square,  must  lie  on  the  south  side  of  Sacadehock  River.  Now  'Sp-ariehock 
riucr  reacheth  but  to  Merry  Meeting,  and  then  its  branched  into  Begipscot  and  Cbnebeck 
and  is  no  further  cald  Ijy  the  name'of  Sucadehock.  Now  Sacadehock  River  is  a  certame 
and  sure  place  for  one  terme  of  its  bounds,  but  the  Islands  are  doubtful,  which  they  are,  or 
wher  they  are  :  &  more  ouer  ther  possession  was  first  taken."  See  Masa.  Hist.  Coll.  Foorth 
Series,  Vol.  Vll.  346,  3.39,  360.

of  the  family  at  that  date,  of  their  descent  and  right  to  bear  the 
arms  in  question.  It  has  been  objected  to  the  tomb-stone  that  it 
might  have  been  erected  at  any  period  up  to  the  present  century  ; 
but,  in  the  case  of  the  Cup,  it  is  absolutely  certain  that  it  was  given 
to  the  College  at  the  date  named,  i.e.  1658.  We  have  then  clearly 
established  the  fact  that  the  three  earliest  representatives  of  the 
family  in  America  claimed  this  descent,  and,  as  they  were  certainly 
gentlemen,  it  is  monstrous  to  suppose  that,  had  they  come  of  the 
Quarrendon  stock,  they  should  have  laid  this  claim  to  belong  to 
another  and  altogether  distinct  family.  We  have  no  other  alterna- 
tive left  us  but  to  accept  their  word! 

After  this  overwhelming  proof  anything  so  trivial  as  the  names  of 
the  American  seats  of  the  family  seems  hardly  worthy  of  mention  ; 
but,  as  some  liberties  have  been  taken  with  the  facts  in  the  case,  it 
may  be  as  well  to  cite  a  'iQw  instances.  In  the  Lee  pedigree  by 
Rev.  F.  G.  Lee,  published  in  London  in  188-4,  the  statement  is 
made  that  Col.  Richard  Lee,  the  emigrant,  built  Ditchley  House. 
This  is  notoriously  incorrect,  as  the  dwelling  in  question  was  erected 
by  his  grandson,  Hancock  Lee,*  by  whom  this  name  (of  which  so 
much  has  been  made)  was  first  used  in  America.  That  it  was  so 
used  is  certainly  a  fact,  but  it  must  either  be  a  singular  coincidence 
in  this  case,  arising  from  the  similar  local  character  of  the  two 
estates,  or  else  we  must  suppose  that  Hancock  Lee,  being  at  Oxford 
at  College,  had  seen  and  possibly  visited  Ditchley,  the  seat  of  the 
Quarrendon  Lees,  which  is  only  four  miles  distant  from  that  city, 
and  had  called  his  plantation  after  the  stately  home  of  the  Earls  of 
Lichfield. 

Certain  it  is  that  Col.  Richard  never  had  any  such  estate,  and  it 
would  appear  from  his  will  that  it  was  not  he  who  gave  the  name  of 
Stratford  House  (not  Stratford-Langton  as  Dr.  Lee  has  it)  to  his 
chief  plantation,  the  mansion  on  which  was  built  in  the  time  of  his 
grandson,  Gov.  Thomas  Lee,  on  whose  tomb-stone  the  name  occurs 
for  the  first  time  as  of  record,  so  far  as  the  writer  is  aware.  Other 
of  the  family  estates  were  Lee  Langley,  Lee  Hall,  Cobbs,  Paradise, 
&c.  Of  these  the  two  first  give  a  double  testimony,  if  any  such 
were  required,  as  against  the  Ditchley  name,  as  both  were  seats  of 
the  Shropshire  family,  while  the  latter  are  utterly  meaningless  in 
this  connection. 

A  more  valuable  collateral  proof  is  to  be  found  in  the  early  con- 
nection with  Virginia  of  the  families  of  Corbin,  Plowden  and  EI- 
dred,  all  of  them  closely  connected  by  marriage  with  the  Lees  of 
Salop.  Sir  Edmund  Plowden  of  Plowden  (ob.  1655)  was  governor 
and  captain  general  of  the  Province  of  Xew  Albion,  John  Eldred 
of  Great  Saxam  was  one  of  the  founders  of  Virginia,  while  the  Cor- 
bin family  are  well  known  among  the  early  settlers.     Turning  now

to  the  family  connection  we  find  that  Edmund  Plowden  of  Plowden 
married  Mary,  daughter  of  Thomas  Lee  of  Langlev,  the  sheriff  of 
Salop  in  1546  ;  Jolin  Lee  of  Xorton  Regis  married  Elizabeth,  daiij^h- 
ter  and  heiress  of  Thomas  Corbjne  in  the  sixteenth  century,  while 
Richard,  the  son  of  the  emigrant,  married  Lettice,  daughter  of 
Henry  Corbin,  Esq.  ;  and  Thomas  Lee  of  Coton  (born  1(520)  mar- 
ried Dorothy  Eldred,  and  his  half  brother,  Lancelot,  married  her 
sister  Anne. 

Finally,  it  is  noteworthy  that,  up  to  a  very  recent  period,  there 
has  never  been  any  doubt  entertained  by  either  the  American  or  the 
English  branches  of  the  family  of  their  communion  of  blood,  and 
correspondence  still  preserved  makes  it  evident  that  they  have  al- 
ways regarded  each  other  as  relatives.  That  is  to  say,  in  1740-50 
Thomas  Lee  of  Stratford  House  corresponded  with  Lancelot  Lee  of 
Coton  Hall  as  a  relative.  lu  1770-71  William  Lee,  son  of  Thomas, 
corresponded  with  Harry  Lee,  brother  of  the  Lancelot  Lee  above 
named,  as  a  relative.  In  1810-24,  Archibald  Lee  of  Virginia  (a 
descendant  of  Philip,  grandson  of  Col.  Richard),  correspon(fed  with 
Harry  Lancelot  Lee  of  Coton  Hall  as  a  relative  and  visited  him  at 
Coton. 

These  letters  are  still  extant,  some  in  the  possession  of  J.  M. 
Wingfield,  Esq.,  of  Tickencote  Hall,  Rutlandshire,  and  the  others 
in  the  hands  of  W.  B.  Lee,  Esq.,  of  Seend,  Wiltshire,  the  present 
(and  with  one  exception,  sole  male)  representative  of  the  ancient 
famdy  m  question,  and  who  is  the  writer's  authority  for  the  above 
statement,  and  for  whose  cordial  assistance  and  advice  in  this  quest 
his  warmest  thanks  are  due  and  most  gladly  rendered.

]SoTE.— This  MS.  is  a  Collection  of  Arms  made  bv  some  of  the  officials  of  the 
College  of  Arms  in  the  reign  of  King  Charles  II..  very  probably  by  the  Mr 
Gibbous  whose  letter  on  the  same  subject  is  cited  below. 

The  above  extract  was  made  from  the  books  of  the  College  by  Mr.  Charles 
H.  Athill,  Richmond  Herald,  who  adds,  "The  entry  establishes  "the  fact 'that 
Colonel  Richard  Lee  used  the  Arms  of  the  Lees  of  Shropshire  and  that  he 
claimed  to  belonij  to  that  family."  To  this  we  may  add  the  testimony  of  Mr. 
John  Gibbons,  Bine  Mantle,  who,  writing  in  1(382,  savs  that  he  lived"  a  great 
part  of  the  year  1G59  in  Virginia,  being  most  hospitably  entertained  by  the 
Honourable  Colonel  Richard  Lee,  some  time  Secretary  of  State  there,  and  adds 
"Neither  wiU  I  omit  his  arms,  being  Gu.  a  fess  chequy  Or  and  Az.  between

from  a  photograph  obtained  by  W.  B.  Lee,  Esq.,  by  permission  of  Rev.  J.  R.

Note. — ^[orton  Regis  here  mentioned,  like  the  same  place  named  on  the  tomb 
of  John's  brother  Richard  {li'le  supru),  is  a  locality  which  cannot  be  identitied 
now  if  correctly  spelled,  but  if,  as  seems  most  probable,  it  is  an  error  for  Nor- 
ton Ecgis,  all  becomes  clear  at  once,  that  being  a  common  form  of  writing 
Nordley  Regis,  one  of  the  chief  sei-.ts  of  the  family  in  question,  and  in  the  utter 
abseuce  of  any  Morton  Regis,  past  or  present,  we  can  hardly  hesitate  to  accept 
this,  which  is  in  fact  quite  as  near  ihe  correct  form  as  the  American  locality 
which  precedes  it. 

The  following  extract  is  interesting,  as  showing  that  one  of  the  best  Anti- 
quaries who  ever  lived  in  England  had,  many  years  ago  (his  book  was  published 
in  1854),  recognized  the  probability  of  the  confusion  of  these  two  names. 

"  In  1214  Wortield  was  assessed  at  £10,  Claverly  at  £6-13—4,  and  Nordley  not 
at  all,  unless  the  vill  of  "Morton"  assessed  at  £2  was  so  written  by  mistake 
for  Xordley." — Eyton's  Antiq.  of  Salop,  vol.  iii.  p.  6G. 

John  Lee  entered  Queen's  College  as  an  Upper  Commoner  July  2,  1G58,  and 
took  his  degree  of  B.  A.  April  30,  1662. 

Will  of  Col.  Richard  Lee  of  Virginia. 

In  the  name  of  God  Amen.  I,  Col.  Richard  Lee  of  Virginia,  &  lately 
of  Stafford  Langton  in  the  County  of  Essex,  Esquire,  being  bound  upon  a 
voyage  to  Virginia  aforesaid,  and  not  knowing  how  it  may  please  God  to 
dispose  of  me  in  so  long  a  voyage,  utterly  renouncing,  disclaiming,  dis- 
annulling, and  revoking  all  former  wills,  either  script,  nuncupative  or  parol, 
and  schedules  or  codicils  of  wills  whatsoever,  do  make,  ordain  and  declare 
this  my  last  will  and  testament  in  manner  and  form  following,  first:  I  give 
and  bequeath  my  soul  to  that  good  and  gracious  God  that  gave  it  me  and 
to  my  Blessed  Redeemer  Jesus  Christ,  assuredly  trusting  in  and  by  his 
meritorious  death  and  passion  to  receive  salvation,  and  my  body  to  be  dis- 
posed of  whether  by  sea  or  land  according  to  the  opportunity  of  the  place, 
not  doubting  but  at  the  last  day  both  body  and  soul  shall  be  re-united  and 
glorified. 

Next,  my  will  and  desire  is  that  all  my  estate  aforesaid,  both  lease  land, 
free  land  and  copyhold  land  and  houses  be  with  all  convenient  speed  that 
may  be,  sold  for  the  payment  of  my  debts  to  John  Jeffries  Esq.  and  what 
the  sale  of  that  shall  fall  short  of,  to  be  made  good  out  of  my  crops  in  Vir- 
ginia, to  be  consigned  to  my  good  friends  Mr.  Thomas  Griffith  and  Mr. 
John  Lackey,  or  one  of  them  in  that  behalf,  and  in  case  the  estate  oi  Straf- 
ford be  not  as  speedily  sold  as  I  desire,  that  then  the  best  improvements 
possiole  may  be  made  from  year  to  year  of  my  said  plantation,  and  my 
servants  labor   with  such  directions  and  appointments  as  the  said  Griffith

and  Lcckey  shall  order  for  the  better  and  sooner  payment  of  my  debts,  and 
that  my  number  of  servants  be  still  kept  up,  and  continued  out  of  the  labors

and  effecting  thereof. 

Also  my  will  and  earnest  desire  is  that  my  good  friends  will  with  all 
convenient  speed  cause  my  wife  and  children  (all  except  Francis  if  he  be 
pleased)  to  be  transported  to  Virginia,  and  to  provide  all  necessary  for  the 
voyage,  and  from  time  to  time  till  my  estate  be  disentangled  and  free  of  all 
my  debts,  to  provide  and  allow  for  them,  and  every  one  of  them,  a  compe- 
tent and  convenient  maintenance  according  as  the  product  of  estate  will 
bear,  relation  being  had  to  the  payment  of  my  debts  and  the  annual  supply 
of  my  several  plantations,  all  which  I  absolutely  refer  to  the  said  Thomas 
Grithih  and  John  Lackey,  and  after  my  debts  are  paid,  I  give  and  bequeath 
my  estate  as  followeth: 

To  my  wife,  during  her  life,  I  give  the  plantation  whereon  I  now  dwell,

proportionable  to  the  servants;  the  said  negroes  I  give  to  her  during  her

youngest  children,  also  the  plantation  Mocke  Nock. 

Item.  My  will  and  earnest  desire  is  that  my  household  stuff  at  Strafford 
be  divided  into  3  parts,  two  of  which  I  give  to  my  son  John,  and  bind  him 
to  give  to  every  one  of  his  brothers  a  bed,  and  the  other  part  I  give  to  my 
wife  Anna  Lee.

The  foregoing  will,  \vhile  as  will  be  seen  by  the  Probate  Act 
which  follows,  haying  been  proved  in  London,  was  never  reo-istered 
there,  nor  is  the  original  on  file  (as  is  sometimes  the  case  wTth  un- 
registered wills)  in  the  Prerogative  Court.  This  copy  is  taken  from 
one  in  the  possession  of  the  writer's  friend,  Mr.  W.  B.  Lee  of 
Seend  in  Wiltshire,  obtained  by  him  from  America  and  may  be  re- 
lied upon  as  authentic. 

^  The  fact  thrt  Col.  Richard  Lee  was  of  the  Shropshire  family  hav- 
mg  now  been  demonstrated,  the  next  step  is  to  prove  the  exact  con- 
nection and  to  identify  his  paternity,  and  upon  this  difficult  task  the 
writer  has  long  and  patiently,  but  fruitlesslv,  labored.  There  are 
no  less  than  nine  members  of  the  Langley  stock,  from  any  one  of 
whom  he  might  have  sprung,  but,  so  far,  no  proof  has  been  obtained 
to  connect  him  with  any  of  them.  The  clues  which  have  been  fol- 
lowed and  the  meagre  results  obtained  mav,  however,  be  worthy  of 
Citation  to  aave  others  the  labor  and  expense  of  reworking  the  same 
ground.  °

by  which  It  will  be  seen  that  this  Francis  had  a  nephew  Kicliard

George  Lee,  with  the  parent  stock.  Unfortunately  the  records  of 
the  Sadler's  Company  perished  in  the  Great  Fire  of  London,  and  we 
are  thus  cut  off  from  the  identification  of  his  birth  place  and  parent- 
age which  their  books  would  have  given  us. 

It  will  of  course  be  understood  that  being  a  member  of  the  Sad- 
ler's Company  by  no  means  implies  that  such  member  was  a  harness- 
maker  ;  indeed  in  the  case  of  the  Francis  Lee  above  named  it  is 
expressly  stated  that  he  was  a  haberdasher  "free  of  the  Sadiers."

74  Lee  of  Virginia.  [Jan. 

Mr.  "Waters  has  cited  the  will  of  William  Pindar,  clerk,*  who 
names  a  family  of  Shingleton  ala  Lea  of  London,  Virginia  and  Ply- 
mouth in  the  year  1625.  It  appears  unlikely  that  this  family  were 
of  kindred  stock  with  either  Col.  Richard  Lee  or  his  relatives,  the 
Lees  of  Langley,  but  the  following  items  relating  to  them  from  the 
Probate  Courts  are  very  interesting  as  showing  a  connection  with 
Stratford-Langtou  only  a  few  years  prior  to  the  emigration  to  Vir- 
ginia. We  have  thus  no  less  than  three  altogether  distinct  families 
of  Lee  resident  in,  or  connected  with,  this  suburb  in  the  early  part 
of  the  17th  century,  i.e.  Sir  Kobert  Lee  of  the  Quarrendon  stock, 
Col.  Richard  Lee  of  the  Langley  line,  the  Shingleton-Lea  family 
who  appear  to  be  from  Devon,  and  perhaps  we  should  add  to  this 
the  Francis  Lee  familv,  before  referred  to  as  holdinsf  an  estate 
here,  as,  if  their  connection  with  the  American  family  be  disproved, 
they  will  constitute  a  fourth  totally  distinct  but  co-existent  line  in 
this  hamlet.  A  fact  that  should  serve  as  an  impressive  warning  to 
those  whose  hasty  jumping  to  conclusions,  unsupported  by  direct 
testimony,  has  made  so  much  trouble  and  confusion  in  the  past. 

1578. — Will  of  Thomas  Hitchcock,  Citizen  &  Carpenter  of  London ;  dat^d

The  singular  name  of  Hancock  Lee  occurring  anaong  the  children 
of  CoL  Richard  (unquestionably  a  derivative  from  a  surname),  the 
writer  has  for  years  kept  a  keen  look  out  for  any  Lee-Hancock 
marriages  in  the  many  Parish  Registers  which  he  has  examined  in 
all  parts  of  the  kingdom,  with  the  result  of  finding  at  least  two  such 
instances  which  follow,  although  it  is  to  be  feared  that  they  will  give 
us  but  little  aid.

In  the  hope  of  obtaining  some  reference  which  might  unravel  the  tangled

Col.  Richard  Lee,  with  the  result  which  follows.  By  this  we  see  that  John 
Lockey,  as  well  as  his  widow,  seems  to  have  died  intestate,  while  che  two

Richard,  was  ?on  of  the  sixth.  lie  died  s.p.  in  1780.  and  the  line  was  probably 
Edward  Temple  of  Sebbertoft  who  died  unmarried  in  1790.  But  the  first  baro"- 
nct  had  two  younirer  sons,  viz.  :  Thomas,  LL.D.,  and  Miles.  Dr.  Tiiomas 
Temple  is  said  to  have  been  a  fellow  of  Trinity  College.  Dublin,  afterwards  a 
minister  at  Battersea  in  Surrey  (1G41),  a  preacher  often  before  the  Louir  Parlia- 
ment. I  should  certainly  be  inclined  to  identify  him  with  Thomas  Temple  who 
was  matriculated  at  Hart  Hall.  Oxford,  Oct.  13,"  1020,  a^ed  17,  of  Bucks.,  son  of 
a  baronet;  and  who  was  B.C.L.  162-t.  D.C.L.  HJ33,  at  Oxford.  He  is  supposed 
to  have  had  a  grandson  Robert  Temple  of  Mount  Temple,  co.  Westmeath.  He 
certainly  had  a  son  Thomas  named  in  the  will  of  Sir  Thomas  Temple  in  1671. 

The  fourth  son  of  the  first  baronet  was  utiles  Temple  of  Dover,  an  olficer  in 
the  Customs  under  the  Parliament.  He  had  three  wives,  and  bv  the  first  had 
two  sons  aud  one  daughter,  the  eldest  son  being  Miles.  This  will  seems  to  2ive 
a  clue  to  either  the  father  or  son, — [Miles,  who  man-ied  Mary  Grilfith,  and  who 
had  been  a  scrivener  in  London.  As  the  true  pedigree  of  Sir  John  Temple  v.-ho 
claimed  the  baronetcy  has  never  been  ascertained,  although  his  descendants 
still  hold  the  honor,  it  is  desirable  that  search  be  made  into  the  descendants  of 
both  Thomas  and  Miles.  We  know  only  this  much,  that  Capt.  Robert  Temple, 
the  emigrant,  father  to  our  Sir  John,  wrote  that  in  1717  he  came  to  New  Eng- 
land, taking  ship  at  Plymouth  -'wh .-re  lived  an  uncle  of  mine,  one  Mr.  Nathaniel 
White,  a  merchant,  and  an  old  inhaoitant  of  that  town."  See  Nichols's  Herald

THE    OLD    MORTON   AND    TAYLOR   ESTATES    IN 
DORCHESTER. 

Br  David  Clapp,  of  Boston. 

A  YEAR  or  more  ago  there  appeared  in  some  of  the  papers  of  this 
city,  and  ia  one  at  least  of  our  monthly  magazines,  descriptive 
accounts  of  the  Taylor  mansion  and  estate  on  Dudley  Street  in 
Dorchester,  which  had  then  just  passed  out  of  the  hands  of  the  Taylor 
heirs,  and  the  ancient  and  elegant  mansion  was  about,  being  de- 
molished. These  accounts  confained  the  assertion  that  the  Hon. 
Perez  Morton,  whose  death  took  place  in  1S37,  lived  tlie  greater 
part  of  his  life  and  died  on  that  estate.  Although  scores  of  living 
witnesses,  including  some  of  the  direct  descendants  of  Mr.  Morton, 
could  then  attest  the  fact  that  for  many  years  he  lived,  and 
finally  died,  in  the  Pavilion,  so  called,  situated  in  the  northerly  part 
of  what  is  now  Piea.sant  Street;  and  although  an  effort  was  made  to 
correct  the  mistake  in  one  paper  where  it  had  appeared,  the  asser- 
tion was  still  persisted  in.     Being  desirous  that  the  truth  in  the

matter  should  be  ascertained  from  some  unquestioned  source,  I  after- 
wards spent  what  iQVf  leisure  moments  I  could  command  in  lookinjj 
into  public  records,  and  was  enabled  to  make  out  from  them  a  tole- 
rably clear  and  I  think  correct  history  of  the  ownership  and  occupa- 
tion by  Mr.  ilorton  of  the  two  estates  mentioned,  of  both  of  which 
it  is  now  certain  that  at  different  times  he  was  the  owner  and  on 
which  he  resided. 

Mr.  Morton's  residence,  after  his  marriap^e  in  17S1,  as  we  learn 
from  the  Boston  Directory  of  17S9  and  other  reliable  sources,  was 
in  Boston,  on  the  lower  corner  of  State  and  Exchange  Streets,  the 
site  now  occupied  by  the  Union  Bank.  The  first  autheiitic  docmncnt 
found  connecting  him  in  any  way  with  Dudley  Street  in  Dorchester, 
is  a  deed  bearing  date  Oct.  11,  1794,  and  recoraed  in  Norfolk  Beg! 
office,  Lib.  3,  fol.  159, — by  which  deed  Samuel  Bird,  of  Dorchester, 
for  £200  conveys  to  Perez  Morton,  of  Boston,  a  piece  of  laud 
"  bounded  S.  W.  on  the  public  road  leading  from  Boston  to  Dor- 
chester Meeting-house  [Dudley  St.]  ;  S.  E.  on  land  of  William  Hum- 
phrey and  Mary  Bird ;  X.  on  land  of  Samuel  and  Ezekiel  Bird :  and 
N.  W.  on  road  leading  to  Dorchester  Point  [Cottage  St.],  contain- 
ing by  estimation  four  acres  more  or  less."  To  this  was' added  by 
deed  of  April  6,  1796  (Lib.  16,  fol.  143),  two  quarters  and  11  roods 
of  land  adjoining,  conveyed  by  Samuel  and  Ezekiel  Bird  on  condi- 
tion that  ^lorton  keep  certain  fences  in  repair;  and  by  another  deed, 
Jan.  11,  1802  (Lib.  16,  fol.  142),  William  Humphrey  conveys  to  Mr.' 
Morton,  for  $200,  half  an  acre  more  of  contiguous  land,  '*  bounded 
north  on  said  Morton's  land  or  garden."' 

During  the  eight  years  embraced  in  these  three  purchases  of  laud, 
Mr.  Morton  had  erected  a  house  thereon,  into  which  he  removed! 
probably  from  State  St.  in  Boston,  and  in  which  he  lived  until  a 
period  not  later  than  iS08.  For  he  was  already  in  possession",  by 
right  of  his  wife,  of  a  more  extensive  and  attractive  piece  of  land  in 
the  town,  a  mile  or  less  to  the  Eastward— known  as  Allen's  Plain— 

a  perfectly  level  and  open  tract  of  some  12  or  15  acres to  which 

he  seems  now  to  have  turned  his  attention  and  on  which  he  was 
apparently  spending  his  money.  This  would  appear  by  the  fact  that 
on  Sept.  27th,  1803,  for  $14,100  he  mortgaged  to  his  brother  Joseph 
Morton  his  whole  Dudley  Street  estate,  comprising,  as  the  deed  says 
(2 1-49),  '•'  all  that  my  estate  in  Dorchester  on  which  mv  du-elling-house 
now  stands,  together  with  all  the  land,  appurtenant  and  befonging 
thereto,  which  I  purchased  of  Samuel  Bird  and  Ezekiel  Bird  [boun<f- 
aries  given  as  above],  containing  by  estimation  five  acres  more  or 
less,  with  all  the  buildings  thereon  standing,"  kc.  <fcc.  This  mort- 
gage seems  never  to  have  been  discharged.  And  here  terminated 
Mr.  Morton's  connection  with  the  Dudley  Street  estate:  for  by 
deed  bearing  date  of  July  7,  1808  (Lib.  31,  f.  190^  Joseph  Morton 
conveys  to  Cornelius  Coolidge  of  Boston,  in  consideration  of  $15,000 
to  be  paid  by  said  Coolidge  in  seven  yearly  instalments  of  $2,142.85

each,  '•'all  that  estate  in  Dorchester  on  which  the  dwelling  bouse 
now  stands  late  in  the  improvemej't  of  Perez  Morton,  Esq.,  with  all 
the  appurtenance  thereto  belonging,  and  buildings  thereon  standing, 
said  premises,  however,  subject  to  the  Equity  of  Redemption  of  said 
Perez  Morton  a3  by  law  is  in  such  cases  made  and  provided."  All 
these  annual  instalments  were  promptly  paid  by  Coolidge,  the  last 
one  in  1815,  and  the  mortgages  discharged.  The  right  of  Redemp- 
tion by  Mr.  ^lorton  seems  not  to  have  been  exercised,  so  that  in  1815, 
Mr.  Morton  having  moved  away  certainly  as  early  as  1808  (as 
shown  above),  the  estate  was  in  the  sole  possession  of  Cornelius 
Coolidge,  who  became  the  occupant  of  Mr.  Morton's  mansion  and 
lived  in  it  for  many  years.  On  the  17th  of  January,  1817,  Mr. 
Coolidge,  in  consideration  of  $1  8,000,  conveyed  by  deed  (Norf  Reg. 
54-78)  to  Barnabas  Hedge  of  Plymouth,  Mass.,  his  estate  situated 
in  Dorchester,  with  the  dwelling  house  and  buildings  standing  there- 
on— bounded  as  already  described,  containing  by  estimation  about 
six  acres  and  a  quarter  of  an  e-cre — being  all  the  premises,  as  he 
says,  ''now  occupied  by  me."'  On  July  31,  1820,  Mr.  Hedge,  in 
consideration  of  one  hundred  shares  of  the  Bank  of  the  United  States,

The  possession  by  the  Mortons  of  the  Pleasant  Street  estate  dates 
back  to  a  period  more  than  a  hundred  years  ajjo.  Its  various 
transfers  by  deed  through  the  trusteeship  of  some  of  the  prominent 
men  of  Boston,  from  the  time  in  1785  when  it  was  owned  by  Wil- 
liam Allen,  and  whose  dwelling-house  was  burnt  thereon  in  17S^,* 
which  land  was  long  used  as  a  training  field,  may  be  in  part  gathered

recorded  in  Norf.  Reg.  Deeds,  Lib.  92,  fol.  107:

82  Morton  and  Taylor  Estates  in  Dorchester.  [Jan. 

thorp  and  Nathaniel  P.  Russell,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  do  hereby  give,  bar- 
gain, sell  and  convey  the  same  )-eal  estate  unto  them  the  said,"  A;c. 
"  in  trust  nevertheless,  and  to  the  uses,  purposes,  ttc,  in  tiiis  In- 
strument set  forth,  etc. — that  is  to  say,  to  permit  the  said  Perez 
and  Sarah  W.  Morton  during  their  joint  lives  to  use,  occupy  and 
improve  the  said  real  estate  or  to  lease  the  same  and  receive  the 
rents  and  profits  thereof,"  &c.  &c.  In  the  remainder  of  the  deed 
provision  is  made  for  Mrs.  M.  if  she  survive  her  husband,  and  other 
conditions  secure  to  her  the  right  of  finally  disposing  of  the  estate. 
Notwithstanding  all  tiiese  transfers,  provisions,  t^c,  apparently  for 
the  security  of  the  estate  to  the  Morton  family,  Peter  C.  Brooks, 
acting  as  trustee,  after  the  death  of  Mr.  Morton  in  1837,  by  deed 
dated  Julv  20,  1838,  confirms  to  ^Ls.  M.  for  her  own  use  all  the 
estate  which  had  not  been  otherwise  disposed  of.  Various  transfers 
of  the  property  took  place  after  Mr.  Morton's  death  and  during 
his  widow's  residence  on  it,  but  it  is  not  part  of  the  writer's  plan  to 
continue  furtlier  a  history  of  itc  ownership  and  occupation.  Mrs.  M. 
died  in  Quincy,  May  14,  1  84G.  She  was  a  lady  of  well-known  literary 
merit  in  the  early  part  of  this  century,  was  author  of  a  volume  of 
poems  and  also  of  various  miscellaneous  articles  in  prose  and  verse, 
and  of  a  work  entitled  "  My  Mind  audits  Thoughts."*  The  families 
of  herself  and  her  husband  were  connected  in  various  ways  with  the 
leading  characters  of  the  time,  and  the  Pavilion  where  the  Mortons 
resided — in  itself  a  unique  and  most  attractive  building — was  for 
many  years  the  centre  of  a  brilliant  array  of  men  and  women  con- 
spicuous in  law,  literature  and  fashion.  Being  brought  up  myself 
in  its  near  vicinity,  I  well  remember  it  and  its  inmates  from  my 
earliest  years,  and  can  now  distinctly  recall  the  aged  Morton  couple 
seated  on  their  broad  piazza  and  er.joying  the  south-westerly  summer 
breezes  as  they  swept  across  the  open  plain.  The  Pavilion  was 
taken  down  not  many  years  after  Mrs.  Morton's  death,  and — delight- 
ful as  the  location  is — no  dwelling-house  has  since  taken  its  place. 
Its  site  is  within  a  stone's  throw  of  the  spot  where  stood  the  first 
rude  thatch-roofed  meeting-house  of  the  Dorchester  emigrants,  and  on 
the  first  street  in  the  town  laid  out  by  them,  for  many  years  known 
as  Green  Lane. 

The  story  of  Mr.  Morton's  occupancy  of  the  two  estates  in  Dor- 
chester, as  shown  by  the  abstracts  of  public  records  above  given 
and  plain  inferences  therefrom,  may  be  briefly  summed  up  as  follows  :

1892.]  Morton  and  laylor  Estates  in  Dorchester.  83 

After  the  purchase  of  his  tirst  lot  of  land  on  Dudley  Street  in 
179-i,  he  erected  on  it  a  mansion  house,  removing  into  it  from  State 
Street,  Boston,  and  occupied  it  for  ten  or  more  years,  vacating  it,  as 
has  been  shown,  certainly  as  early  as  1808.  This  house  was  evi- 
dently no  mean  affair;  for  the  estate  itself,  which  a  very  few  years 
before  had  cost  the  purchaser  a  comparatively  small  sum,  was  in 
1803,  after  the  house  was  erected,  mortgaged  for  $14000,  and  in 
1808  sold  for  $15000.  There  can  scarcely^be  a  doubt  that  this 
valuable  house  was  no  other  than  the  well-known  building,  which, 
having  been  occupied  for  three  quarters  of  a  century  afterwards  in 
succession  by  Coolidge,  Hedge  and  others,  and  finally  by  the  Tay- 
lors, has  been  latterly  known  as  the  Taylor  Mansion. 

Before  movmg  away  from  Dudley  Street,  Mr.  Morton  would  most 
likely  have  erected  another  house  ready  for  occupancy,  and  as  the 
Pleasant  St.  land  has  been  shown  to  have  been  then  in  possession 
of  his  wife  and  himself,  it  is  natural  to  suppose  that  he  built  thereon, 
and  that  the  house  erected  was  no  other  than  the  Pavilion,*  in 
which  it  is  well  known  he  resided  the  latter  part  of  his  life,  dying 
there  Oct.  14,  1837. 

A  few  words  may  be  said  about  the  Hon.  Perez  Morton  himself. 
He  was  born  in  Plymouth,  Mass.,  Nov.  13, 1751 ;  Harv.  Univ.  1771 ; 
Speaker  Mass.  Ho.  of  Rep.  1806-1811;  Attor.  Gen.  Mass.  1811- 
1  832 ;  del  to  State  Gonv.  1820.  He  married.  May  24,  1781,  Sarah 
Wentworth  Apthorp,  who  was  born  in  Braintree,  Mass.,  Autj.  29, 
1759,  and  died  in  Quincy,  Mass.,  May  14,  1846.  In  1789  they 
were  living  in  a.  house  in  Boston  on  the  lower  corner  of  State  and 
Exchange  Streets — the  former  site  of  the  Boston  Custom  House. 
The  deed  by  which  this  "  brick  mansion  house,"  as  it  is  therein 
called,  with  land  and  outhouses  thereto  belonging?,  was  conveyed  to 
Mr.  Morton  (Suff.  D.,  Lib.  148,  fob  189),  bears'^the  date  of  1784. 
The  grantor  was  Thos.  Apthorp,  of  London,  late  of  Boston,  who  for 
"X150  lawful  money  of  New  England,'"  conveys  the  property  which 
his  late  father  Gharles  W.  Apthorp,  who  was  a  loyalist,  formerly 
held.  Eiglit  years  before  this  transaction,  !Mr.  Morton  was  brouglit 
conspicuously  before  his  fellow  citizens.  In  April,  1776,  ten  months 
after  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill,  the  body  of  Gen.  Joseph  Warren 
was  found  and  identified.  The  masonic  fraternity,  of  which  he  was 
a  conspicuous  member,  at  once  made  arrangements  for  the  funeral 
ceremonies,  which  took  place  at  King's  Chapel,  on  the  8th  of  April. 
Perez  Morton,  then  a  promising  young  lawyer  and  a  mason,  was 
selected  to  deliver  a  public  address  on  the  occasion.     As  Mrs.  John 

•  The  house,  according  to  my  imperfect  recollection  of  the  details  of  a  familiar  object; 
seen  dMily  from  infancy,  comprised  an  extensive  square  lower  or  ifround  story,  with 
a  broad  pi.izz.i  in  front.'  A  second  st'jry,  still  smallL-r  in  floor  surface,  re,-ted  symmetri- 
cally on  tlie  centre  of  the  first,  with  both  stories  low  studded.  It  was  a  cominon  rep<jrt  in  my 
boyhoofl,  that  another  «tory  still  smaller  in  extent  once  crowned  this  second  story,  and  tl'.at 
the  peculiar  shape  of  the  structure  was  copied  from  building's  in  countries  where  hurricanes 
are  trciiuent.  The  buiidins,  as  now  remembered,  had  the  appearance  of  having  been 
pamted  of  a  dark  greyish  color.

Adams  wrote  at  the  time,— "A  young  fellow  could  not  have  wished 
a  finer  opportunity  to  display  his  talents."  The  oration  was  well 
received,  and  did  much  credit  to  the  orator.  His  startling  apostrophe

ings from  the  grave  ?  Why  hast  thou  left  the  peaceful  mansions  of 
the  tomb,  to  visit  again'  this  troubled  earth  ?"  must  have  deeply 
stirred  the  hearts  of  his  audience.  From  that  time  Mr.  Morton  took 
rank  with  the  leading  spirits  of  the  Revolution.  Long  afterwards, 
one  of  his  latest  public  duties  was  acting  as  State's  Attoruev,  assisted 
by  Daniel  Webster,  in  the  celebrated  trial  of  the  Knapps^at  Salem, 
1830,  for  the  murder  of  Capt.  Joseph  White. 


NOTES  AND  QUERIES. 

Notes. 

Whitson's  Bay— Mr.  Alexander  Brown's  works  on  the  Genesis  of  the  United 
btates  IS  recognized  as  a  work  of  rare  value,  but  it  contains  a  map  tlie  import- 
ance of  which  has  hardly   been  appreciated,— the  lar-e  map   copied  for  the 
Spanish  minister  Velasco,  in  IGIO,  from  a  map  drawn  for  Kin-  James,  shcjvwg 
an  the  J-.ngUsh   discovfries  doi.rn   to   date.     The   internal   evidence  shows  that 
the  map  included  operations  in  1008,  as  Jamestown  appears  thereon.     Is  a  map 
of  the  coast  of  the  United  States,  it  is  of  extreme  interest,  and  would  justify 
lengthy  discussion.     In  connection  with  Xew  York,  it  shows  that  tlie  name 
Manhattan  was  applied  to  the  Jersey  shore  as  well:  and  it  is  probable  that  Henry 
Hudson  had  a  copy,  or  its  equivalent,  on  his  exploration  of  IG09,  which  dissi- 
pated the  great  sea  with  which  the  Hudson,  the  ancient  river  of  St.    Inthonv 
then  stood  connected.     But  here  I  Avish  simply  to  call  attention  to  its  value  in 
connection  with  Xew  England.     In  various  papers  and  contributions  the  writer 
h^s  sought  to  make  two  points:    (1.)  That  the  river  discovered  in  Maine    bv 
Weymouth  in  his  exploration  of  ir,05.  was  not  the  St.  Geor<;e,  but  the  Konne'- 
bec,  otherviise  the  Sasradahock,  to  which  Popham's  expedition  sailed  in  lGu7- 
(2.)  That  Martin  Priug  did  not  follow  Gosnold  to  Cuttvluink  in  1G03,  but  that  he 
harbored  at  Plymouth  with  his  two  ships,  wliere  for  six  weeks  he  wa^  en'^a"-.-d 
in  getting  sassafras.     Xow  this  map  establishes  both  positions  as  true-^'siuce 
the  Kennebec  and  its  neighborhood  are  shoAvn  with  irreat  particularitv    while 
there  is  no  indication  watever  of  anv  St.  Geor-e's  liivcr,  wliich  would  iaeVitably 
have  been  shown  if  the  river  had  been  discovered  and  explored.     Un  the  other 
hand,  the  claim  that  Plymouth  harbor  was  named  Whitsons  Bay,  after  the  Mayor 
of  Bristol,  in  ltJ03.  is  also  shown  to  be  cornet,  in  tliat  this  map,  with  Plvmouth 
harbor  delineated,  two  years  before  Champlain  surveved  and  mapped  rlie  port 
shows  the  harbor  distinctly  as    ]Mdtsons  Ba>j.     The  writer  had  already  shown 
that  no  early  map  ever  gave  the  slighte.st   representation  of    the  St!  Geor-'-e 
River,  but  tliis  new  map,  which  Mr.  Brown  has  furnished  from  the  archives  Sf 
Samancas  (together  with  the  plan  of  the  fort  on  tlie  Kennebec),  de.,trovs  the 
last  hope  of  the  advocates  of  the  St.  George  theorv.  puncturin-r  and  exi)iodiu<» 
their  specious  arirnmeuts,  by  which  the  St.'Geonre  has  been  transferred  into  a 
noble  and  splendid  stream,  agreeing  with  the  description  of  the  Kennebec.

faced  by  time  and  the  fire  which  devastated  Basseterre  many  years  ago,  may  be 
easily  deciphered  as  liavins  on  tlie  shield  a  lion  rampant,  between  crosses  cross- 
let,  and  a  crest,  a  demi  ostrich  rising  out  of  a  coronet. 

The  stone  was  examined  and  the  inscription  and  arms  copied  by  Harrison 
EUery,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  while  on  a  visit  to  the  West  Indies  a  few  years  aq;o. 
It  was  also  photographed  by  Mr.  C  C.  Lyon  of  St.  Kitts,  in  1>^'>0,  and  copies 
were  sent  to  the  writer.  The  arms  in  question  are  those  of  Kiu^  of  Devon- 
shire and  Torcester,  Co.  North.,  as  given  in  Burke's  General  Armory,  viz.; 
"  Sable,  a  lion  rampant  or,  crowned  argent,  between  three  cross  cro>slets  or. 
Crest,  out  of  a  ducal  coronet  or,  a  demi  ostrich  ardent,  wings  endorsed,  beak 
of  the  first." 

Through  the  courtesy  of  Henry  George  King,  Esq.,  of  Basseterre,  in  search- 
ing the  Register  of  St.  George's  Church,  in  February  last,  the  f ollowinj;  entries 
were  found:  "  Baptism,  1749,  May  L'S,  Benjamin,  son  of  Joseph  and  Elizabeth 
Kiug.  Burial,  17(;u,  Dee.  23,  Benjamin  Kimr.  Esq."  It  is  not  improbable  that 
this  is  the  record  of  baptism  and  burial  of  Benjamin  King  who  is  under  the 
heraldic  gravestone,  but  nothing  is  kuown  with  certainty. 

It  is  an  established  fact,  however,  that  Daniel  King,  Jr.,  Gent.,  of  Lynn, 
Mass.,  born  about  163(5,  was  in  lt>S7  a  resident  merchant  on  the  I.-?land  of  St. 
Kitts.  He  \vas  the  son  of  Mr.  Danir-1  Kiuge,  Sen^,  of  Lynn,  ami  grandson  of 
Ealphe  Kiuge  of  Watford,  Hertfordshire,  England,  as  set  forth  in  the  writer's 
recently  published  ''  Pediirree  of  King  of  Lynn." 

Can  anyone  throw  any  light  on  the  ancestry  of  Benjamin  Kin2:  who  is  buried 
in  St.  George's  Church,  and  his  relationship,  if  any.  to  Daniel  King,  Jr.? 

Also,  is  there  any  evidence  of  the  early  use  of  the  St.  Kitts  coat  of  arms  by

Warrex  .^.ND  "Waters. — Dr.  Ira  Warren,  of  Boston  (1S06-1S64:),  says  in  his 
"Household  Physician."  "  I  say  to  all  yoiing  persons,  value  very  higlily  the 
knowledge  of  your  family  history,  which  yon  may  easily  learn  from  your  pai*- 
ents.  grandparents,  uncles  and  aunts  :^  and  esteem  those  very  highly  who  are 
able  to  impart  it  to  you.  Soon  the  living  records  Mill  be  suddenly  blotted  by 
the  hand  of  dear'i,  and  then  no  regret  for  past  negligence  will  enable  you  to 
repair  your  loss,  if  you  have  mis-improved  your  opportunity." 

Dr.  Warren  was  one  of  nine  children  of  Asa  and  Jemima  (Kellogg)  Warren, 
as  follows, — Orson,  Sylvauus,  Asa,  Stephen,  Silas.  Ira,  Hiram,  Diadany  and 
Lucy.  In  his  will  of  April  28,  ISG-t.  the  doctor  mentions  his  wife  Ruth  S.,  his 
brother  Silas,  sister  Lucy  Wells  of  Hnstislord,  Wis.,  his  nephew  Ira,  sou  of 
his  brother  Asa  of  London,  (_)nt.,  his  nephew  Ira,  son  of  ]Manton  of  Minn.,  his 
nephew  Dewey  K.  Warren  of  Boston,  his  wife's  brother  Thomas  Turner,  Win- 
throp,  Suflblk  Co.,  Mass.,  bequeaths  a  section  of  land  in  Clark  Co.,  Iowa,  a  farm 
in  Pembroke,  Mass..  and  the  remainder  of  his  estate  to  Tufts  College,  Medford, 
Mass.,  to  found  Warren  Observatory. 

His  brother,  Asa  Kellogg  Warren,  b.  in  Vt.  Mar.  22,  1798,  was  m.  to  Clarissa 
Waters  (b.  in  Vt.  June  27,"lS02),  by  Col.  Thomas  Talbot,  in  the  "  London  Dis-

Loudon,  Middlesex  Co.,  Ont.,  :^Iav  3,  1867.  She  d.  at  Ailsa  Craig,  Ont.,  Peb. 
27,  1881. 

Dr.  Ira  Warren  used  to  say  that  his  grandfather.  Col.  Gideon  Warren  of  the 
Revolution  (lived  in  the  southern  towns  of  Vermont  but  died  at  the  house  of 
his  son  Caleb  in  Hampton.  X.  Y.),  was  a  personal  friend  of  Ethan  Allen,  and  a 
first  cousin  to  Gen.  Joseph  Warren.  M.D.  (1711-1775),  of  Bunker  Hill  fame. 
For  proof  or  disproof  of  this  last  statement  I  shall  be  very  grateful. 

Charles  Wells  Waters,  b.  in  Georgia,  Chittenden  Co.,  Vt.,  June  4-,  1796,  was

original  home  of  a  certain  Thomas  "Weel^s  or  Weekes,  who  appeared  in  Perqui-

records  for  the  first  time  in  the  latter  year.  Kis  Avife  was  named  Anne.  Tie  is 
called  "gentleman"  and  '-school-teacher."  He  acquired  a  considerable  local 
prominence;  he  was  sherift'of  the  county,  represented  it  in  the  General  As'-t.-nibly 
for  a  number  of  years,  and  was  for  many^ears  a  justice  of  the  peace  and  jadge 
of  the  general  court.  He  died  in  1703,  leaving  one  or  two  daughters  r^n  1  sis 
sons,  whose  names  were  Thomas,  John.  Benjamin,  Samuel,  James  and  Wilson. 
The  descendants  of  Thomas  are  still  numerous.  The  other  lines  are  almost 
extinct.  He  left  a  large  property,  consisting  chiefly  of  negroes  and  real  estate. 
I  think  he  emigrated  to  North  Carolina  from  :Massachusetts.  I  should  be  glad 
to  correspond  Avith  any  one  who  can  give  me  any  light  as  to  his  earlier  home,

Marshall  P.  Wilder's  CnnisTiAX  Names. — Mr.  Wilder  on  several  occasions 
informed  me  that  he  at  first  bore  the  name  of  Marshall  Pincknev  Gerry  Wilder, 
being  so  named  by  his  father  for  John  Marshall.  Charles  Cotesworth  Pinckney 
and  Elbridge  Gerry,  the  envoys  to  France  appointed  in  1797  by  President  John 
Adams.  J  stated  this,  in  a'  foot-note  on  paire  234  of  the  42d  volume  of  the 
Register,  adding  that  on  one  occasion  :Mr.  Wilder,  at  a  meeting  of  the  New- 
England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  told  the  story  to  his  hearers.  I  And 
that  it  was  at  the  meeting  on  Wednesday.  Nov.  2.  1881,  and  that  his  remarks  are 
printed  in  the  report  of  that  meeting  in  the  Bostmi  DoV'j  Advertiser  of  Dec.  3. 
The  report  was  written  by  Mr.  Daniel  Weld  Baker,  then  a'member  of  our  Society, 
who  assures  me  that  he  took  particular  pains  to  give  Mr.  Wilder's  statera.-ut 
about  his  name  in  his  own  words.  At  that  meeting  a  paper  was  read  by  the 
Rev.  Edwin  M.  Stone  of  Providence,  R.  I.,  entitled  "Reminiscences  of  Marble- 
head."  In  it  Mr.  Stone  referred  to  Elbridge  Gerry  and  the  Gerrym-ander.  Mr. 
"Wilder  made  some  remarks  at  the  close  of  the  paper,  which  are  thus  reported 
in  the  Advertiser  : 

"  In  expre>sing  his  appreciation  of  the  value  of  the  paper,  President  Wilder 
reverted  to  the  comment  which  had  been  made  on  Elbridge  Gerry,  and  irave  it 
as  an  anecdote  personal  to  himself  that  his  father  had  at  first  named  him  Mar- 
shall Pinckney  Gerry  Wilder,  but  after  the  gerrymander  doings  he  lost  his  admira- 
tion and  had  the  "  Gerry"  struck  out  from  his  son's  name."  j.  w.  d. 


A  Few  Notes  ox  Ma\terick'3  Description  of  New  Engla>-X). — In  the  Reg- 
ister for  January,  1885,  vol.  39,  pages  33  to  48,  was  printed  a  "  Description  of 
New  England,"  by  Samuel  Maverick.  The  following  notes  on  that  paper  by 
the  late  Charles  Deane,  LL.D.,  are  extracted  from  a  letter  to  the  editor  of  this 
magazine  dated  Dec.  2,  1884  : 

"  I  have  read  the  Maverick  paper  with  much  interest.  It  is  of  great  value. 
Of  course  there  are  many  errors  it  it.  made  by  Maverick  himself,  such  as  we 
might  expect  him  to  make.  In  the  dates  of  patents  he  is  altogether  out. 
But  some  of  the  errors  may  be  errors  of  the  copyist.  Now  the  date  of 
Levett's  patent,  under  'CascoBay'  [page  35].  is  given  as  1632.  It  should  be 
1623.  And  there  is  a  similar  error  under  Braintree  as  '-1632  or  thereabouts" 
[page  40].     If  they  had  a  patent,  it  was  probably  in  ltJ23  or  thereabouts. 

"In  the  paragraph  above,  '  Bo-ton'  [page  39],  Na^ascot  should  be  Na^ascot. 
In  the  second  paragraph  preceding  the  '  Decription  of  Plvmonth  bounds,'  the 
comma  should  be  deled  in  •  Obadiah,  Holmes'  [page  42].  Near  the  close  of  the 
article,  'now  Amsterdam'  [page  47,  3d  par.  from  bottom],  should  be  '  n*;w 
Amsterdam.' " 

Nate  by  the  editor  of  the,  Begister. — In  the  preface  to  Maverick's  paper,  it  is 
stated  on  page  33  that  "  Maverick  when  Winthrop  and  his  company  arrived  was 
settled  at  Noddle's  Island  now  East  Boston."  It  should  be  '-'at  "Winnesimmefc 
now  Chelsea."  See  a  paper  by  Hon.  Melk'n  Chamijerlain  in  the  Proceedings  of 
the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  2d  series,  vol.  i.  pp.  3G6-73. 

Judge  Batcheider  thinks  that  "  Christo  :  Bachelor  and  Company  "  (page  35), 
is  a  mistake  for  "  Crispe.  Bachelor  and  Company."  See  Register  for  January, 
1802,  the  present  number,  page  62.

did  not  die  "  1-i  Apr.  1700.  in  his  b'j^'°-  year."  He  passed  away  in  November,

Beverly. 

In  justice  to  the  writer  of  the  above  quoted  note  from  the  Register,  it  should 
be  mentioned,  that  the  latter  part  of  the  paragraph  was  based  on  an  incorrect

NECROLOGY  OF  THE  XEW-EXGLAXD  HISTORIC 
GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

Prep;\red  by  Hahilton  Andrews  Hill,  A.M.,  Historiographer  of  the  Society. 

The  Historiographer  would  inform  the  Society,  that  the  sketches  pre- 
pared for  the  Register  are  necessarily  brief  in  consequence  of  the  limited 
space  which  can  be  appropriated.  All  the  facts,  however,  which  can  be 
gathered  are  retained  in  the  Archives  of  the  Society,  and  will  aid  in  more 
extended  memoirs  for  which  the  "  Towne  Memorial  Fund,"  the  gift  of  the 
late  William  B.  Towue,  is  provided.  Four  volumes,  printed  at  the  charge 
of  this  fund,  entitled  '■  Mk.aiorial  Biographies,"  edited  by  the  Commit- 
tee on  Memorials,  have  been  issued.  They  contain  memoirs  or  all  the 
members  who  have  died  from  the  organization  of  the  society  to  the  year 
1862.     A  fifth  volume  is  ready  for  the  press. 

WiLLiA>i  ToLMAX  Carltox,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  a  resident  member,  elected 
Sept.  0,  1S71,  died  at  his  residence  in  the  Dorchester  district,  June  28,  1S33. 
He  was  born  in  Boston,  January  30,  IS  16.  He  was  son  of  William  Leeds  and 
Mary  Jane  (^lillet)  Carlton.  His  birtli  place  was  the  building  known  as  the 
"Bunch  of  Grapes  Tavern."  which  stood  at  the  corner  of  Kilby  and  State 
Streets,  and  was  used  as  a  residpuce  at  the  time  referred  to.  Much  of  his  child- 
hood was  passed  iu  his  father's  later  residence,  which  stood  at  the  corner  of 
Williams  Court  and  the  prese-ut  Court  Square,  where  the  senior  Carlton  carried 
on  a  West  India  goods  store  in  the  lower  front  of  the  building.  Later  the 
family  removod  to  Dorchester,  in  which  town  the  subject  of  our  sketch  was 
educated  iu  the  common  school  and  the  then  existing  Dorchester  Academy. 
Conditions  of  health  frustrated  an  intention  on  his  part  to  prepare  for  college, 
and  he  directed  his  attention  to  a  career  as  an  artist,  for  which  he  early  mani- 
fested a  native  aptitude.  In  pursuance  of  this  he  spent  several  years  in  Europe, 
mostly  in  Italy,  with  journeys  in  Germany  and  France  for  observation  of  art 
galleries,  etc.,  and  followed  his  profession  as  artist  for  part  of  one  year  in  Paris. 
He  returned  to  this  country  in  18-10  and  practised  portrait  painting,  and  gave 
instruction  to  private  classes  in  drawing,  as  yielding  the  best  immediate 
pecuniary  returns.  A  portrait  of  Rev.  Dr.  John  Pierce,  of  Brookline,  painted 
in  February,  1841,  was  one  of  those  executed  at  this  period.  Between 
1847  and  1850  he  was  in  Albany.  X.  Y.,  where  he  painted  portraits,  principally; 
among  others  one  of  Silas  Wright,  then  or  previously  governor  of  the  State. 
He  resumed  professional  work  in  Boston  in  1850,  and  in  the  foUowini^  year 
was  nominated,  or  virtually,  selocted,  by  Mr.  George  Ho!lin2:sw<)rth.  an  artist 
of  repute,  as  his  assistant  in  carrying  on  the  school  for  *ree  instruction  in 
art,  which,  during  the  preceding  year,  had  been  opened  by  the  Lowell 
Institute,  with  Mr.  Hollingsworth  "as  sole  teacher.  In  carrying  fonvard 
successfully  this  enterprise  of  the  Institute  the  two  were  happily  and  harmoui-

Becnrrts  of  the  First  Church  nt  Drirrhf'i<t''r  in  Xem  ErnjJand :  1638-1734.  Bos- 
ton, Mass.  :  George  H.  Ellis,  141  Franklin  Street.  1S91.  8vo.  pp.  xxvi.+ 
270.     Price  S3. 

This  volume  is  issued  in  pursuance  of  a  vote  of  the  Church  in  July,  ISSS,  to 
print  its  first  manuscript  volume  of  records.  It  is  a  welcome  addition  to  the 
resources  of  the  historian  and  the  genealogist.  The  committee  charged  with 
the  work  consisted  of  the  pastor,  the  three  deacons.  Rev.  S.  J.  Barrows  and 
Mr.  William  B.  Trask,  who  are  memt)er3  of  the  Church.  The  preparation  of 
the  principal  preface  or  introduction,  which  is  an  important  and  highly  interest- 
ing part  of  the  book,  was  assigned  to  the  two  gentlemen  named.  The  publica- 
tion is  'n  fulfilment  of  a  purpose  long  entertained,  and  which,  from  time  to 
time,  has  had  prompting  and  encouraireraent  on  the  part  of  others  not  connected 
with  the  Church,  who  appreciated  Uie  great,  and.  po>sibly,  in  some  particulars, 
unique  value  of  these  ancient  records  as  historical  data.  A  favorable  moment 
appeared  in  an  opportunity  to  obtain  a  competent  transcriijer  having  both  the 
time  and  zeal  requisite  for  the  patience-testing,  and  in  some  respects  perplexing, 
task. 

The  transcriber  is  Rev.  Charles  H.  Pope  of  Kennebunkport,  Me.,  who  though 
not  immediately  identified  with  the  Church  is  so  at  the  second  remove,  it  having 
been  the  church  of  his  ancestors  from  the  first  settlement  of  the  town.  The 
fidelity  of  his  labors  will  be  recognized  by  all  who  are  in  any  degree  familiar 
with  the  original  volume.  The  extent  of  these  labors  is  uot  quite  indicated  by 
the  title  of  -copyist."  which  he  assumes  in  his  brief  and  pertinent  preface. 
The  reading  of  the  final  proof  sheets,  with  constant  reference  to  the  original 
page,  and  the  preparation  of  a  complete  index  of  names,  a  general  index  and  an 
index  of  places,  are  comprised  in  the  services  rendered.  The  literary  part  of 
the  preface  proper,  or  introduction,  is  the  work  of  Rev.  Mr.  Barrows,  who  had 
the  assistance  of  yiv.  Trask  in  the  researches  necessarj'  for  the  presentation  of 
the  statistics  pertaining  to  local  history. 

The  original  is  reproduced  in  its  orthography,  capital  letters,  abbre\iations 
and  punctuation  and  the  order  of  succession  of  the  various  entries.  In  this 
last  particular,  as  is  often  the  case  with  ancient  records,  some  irregularity  ap- 
pears as  respects  dates,  certain  of  tlie  early  dates  being  towards  the  end  of  the 
book,  and  certain  leaves  or  pages  being  used  here  and  there  for  memoranda  of 
difi'erent  periods ;  but  the  indexes  make  everything  reasonably  accessible.  Xot 
only  are  to  be  found  in  the  volume  such  afiairs  of  tlie  church  routine  as  would  be 
expected,  but  also  a  prolonged  marginal  record  of  dates  of  birth  made  by  Rev.  John 
Danforth,  pastor  1GS2-173U.  who  frequently  in  case  of  a  dismissal  from  the  Church 
names  the  place  to  which  the  person  removed;  this  last  information,  often 
most  valuable  to  an  exploring  genealogist ;  and  lierein  lies  the  possible  unique 
merit  of  the  volume.  There  are  a  considerable  number  of  miscellaneous  entries, 
and  many  which  have  the  charm  of  quaintness.  These  A^'ith  what  is  signified 
in  the  formal  record  are  helpful  to  one  who  would  irain  a  correct  mental  picture 
of  times  now  distant ;  for  Dorchester  dates  not  only  from  the  beginning  of  the 
Bay  Colony,  but  during  the  period  here  covered,  and  much  longer,  was  a  typical 
New-England  puritanic  comnmnity. 

The  introduction  c<.)nsi.-ts  largi-ly  and  very  fitly  of  a  presentation  of  the  facts 
of  record  bearing  upon  the  question  of  the  antiquity  of  the  Dorchester  Church, 
ecclesiastically  considered.  A  part  of  the  Dorchester  church  of  1636.  supposed 
to  be  a  majority  of  the  merabersiiip,  emigrated  at  that  time  and  founded  the 
town  of  Windsor,  Conn.  The  records  of  the  original  church,  winch  ante- 
dates the  settlement  of  the  town  of  Dorchester,  having  been  organized  at 
Plymouth,  England,  in  March.  liJ2'J-30,  are  not  extant,  so  far  as  is  known, 
and  there  is  nothing  ofilcial  to  show  whether  the  emigrating  party  went  as 
a  church  or  not.  As  the  surviving  pastor.  Rev.  John  Warham,  two  deacons 
of  the  origiaal  church  and  a  majority  of  members  removed,  it  is  the  opinion  of

The  Rev.  Mr.  Hayden  is  favorably  known  as  a  zealous,  untiring  and  thorouffhly 
conscientious  student  through  his  munerous  published  contributions  in  history, 
genealogy  and  cognate  fields  during  quite  a  score  of  years  past. 

The  work,  as  he  states  in  his  preface,  was  commenced  some  eight  years  ago 
at  the  instance  of  a  cherished  friend,  a  female  parishioner  of  his.  Instinctive 
predilection  impelled  a  wider  scope  as  new  information  opened  up  to  hira,  until 
his  loving  task  has  assumed  the  present  goodly  proportions.  Pie  gracefuliy 
acknowledges  essential  assistance  from  the  late  Richard  Moncure  Conway,  of 
Spotsylvania  County,  Va.,  a  born  genealogist,  and  the  brother  of  the  widely- 
known  writer, Moncure  Daniel  Conway.  Mr.  Hayden  has  been  characteristicaliy 
assiduous,  in  this,  a  labor  extraneous  of  his  dutiful  life-calling,  and  has  made  it 
paramountly  the  object  in  his  literary  labors.  The  result  is  gratifyingly  what 
might  be  expected  from  him  and  under  such  circumstances.  Virginia  genealogy, 
duly  appreciated  and  justh-  worked,  is  an  attractive  field,  fruitful  in  valuable 
results  contributary  to  a  coiTect  apprehension  of  Virginia  in  her  people  and  her 
history,  and  contributarily  of  the  American  nation. 

The  present  work  is  undoubtedly  the  most  accurate  in  data  and  the  most 
comprehensive  in  scope  and  material  of  any  as  yet  published  of  the  Virgii;ia 
genealogies.  In  personal  detail  of  prominent  characters,  in  historic  incident, 
iu  pictures  of  social  life,  and  in  reminiscences  characteristically  Virginian  or 
Southern,  it  is  peculiarly  attractive  and  informatory.  In  tracing  many  of  the 
families  deduced,  back  to  Great  Britain,  much  of  interest  and  suggestion  to  the 
student  is  presented. 

In  a  preliminary  paper  on  "Descent,"  in  admirable  spirit,  Mr.  Hayden  gives 
nanch  useful  information  in  counteraction  of  silly  prejudice  and"  cherished 
foibles — little  vanities.  The  limits  of  this  notice  prescribe  citation,  but  it  may 
be  said  that  this  paper  will  be  appreciated  on  reading. 

Some  idea  of  the  value  of  this  admirable  garner  may  be  given,  in  that  in  its 
nearly  800  large  Svo.  pages,  thoroughly  indexed  and  handsomely  bound  iu  cloth, 
illustrated  by  portraits,  and  enriched  by  early  wills,  Revolutionary  letters  and 
documents  with  biosrapliical  sketches  replete  with  original  data  gleaned  chieriv

The  Church  of  Enaland  in  Xova  Scotia,  and  the  Tory  Clergy  of  the  Bevolutun. 

By  AuTurn  Wkntworth  Eaton.  B.A.,  Presbyter  of  the  Diocese  of  New 

York.     New  York:     Thomas  Whittaker.     1S91."   12mo.  pp.  xiv.-f-o20. 

The  Revei'end  Mr.  Eaton  of  New  York  makes  an  atfectionate  ackno\%-led2:- 
meut  of  his  obligation  to  the  diocese,  in  which  he  was  born  and  bred,  in  his  latest 
book,  '•  The  Church  of  England  in  Nova  Scotia."  The  author,  who  has  made  us 
familiar  with  the  picturesfiue  and  romantic  aspects  of  his  native  Province  in  his 
charming  poems,  in  this  volume  shows  it  to  us  in  a  plainer  garb,  but  one 
no  less  iuterestiug.  The  book  shows  indefatigable  industry  and  strict  tidelity, 
and  contains  much  tliat  is  of  value  to  the  genealogist  and  anticiuary  as  well  as 
to  the  general  student.  Through  all  the  first  chapters  are  found  constant  allu- 
sions to  the  great  debt  the  church  owes  to  the  venerable  Society  for  the  Propa- 
gation of  the  Gospel ;  without  its  pecuniary  aid  in  those  early  days  the  faithful 
must  have  gone  without  the  consolations  of  religion,  and  their  children,  unia- 
structed  in  church  doctrine,  must  have  fallen  a  prey  to  some  form  of  dissent ; 
without  the  watchful  care  of  the  Society,  error  and  schism  of  every  kind  must 
have  been  rampant.  The  fiiirht  of  the  Tories  from  the  United  States,  which  left 
the  new  nation  to  the  stimulating  control  of  Congregationalism,  strenirthened 
the  church  in  Nova  Scotia,  giving  its  sentiment  a  tinge  of  the  romantic  loyalty 
the  mother  church  of  England  wo'  o  after  the  death  of  the  lioyal  Martyr,  for  the 
sufferings  of  these  new  settlers  of  Nova  Scotia  are  apt  to  be  underrated  by  us  iu 
New  England.  Very  low  churchmen  they  have  always  been  iu  the  Provinces, 
but  their  loyalty  to  the  Crown  led  them  to  sacrifice  the  rapid  growth  of  their 
college  to  its  interests. 

The  personal  notices  in  this  book  are  of  unexpected  interest  to  New  England 
readers;  familiar  surnames  appear  on  every  page,  and  many  new  relatives  will 
be  found  here  ;  some  of  the  most  distinguished  laymen  of  Nova  Scotia  have  been 
of  New-England  origin.  The  chapter  on  "Other  Religious  Bodies"  is  a  very 
unprejudiced  statement  of  the  growth  and  usefulness  of  the  sects,  and  a  clear 
exposition  of  the  political  side  of  Romanism,  which  has  always  made  it  abhorrent 
to  British  subjects.  Congregationalism  made  a  settlement  in  Nova  Scotia  long 
before  Cornwallis's  surrender,  as  those  will  remember  who  recall  the  elaborate 
treatment  of  this  subject  by  Mr.  Eaton's  friend.  Professor  Rand,  and  a  little 
gentler  usage  of  them  by  the  ecclesiastical  authorities  would  have  conciliated 
most  of  their  hostility  and  made  the  Province  singularly  united.  Among 
the  early  students  of  King's  College  was  Major  General  James  Arnold,  a  gallant 
soldier  and  a  skilfid  commander,  but  the  son  of  the  traitor;  and  the  only  un- 
pleasant line  in  this  book  is  that  which  speaks  of  "the  celebrated  Benedict 
Arnold."  A  book  published  in  New  York  should  have  found  some  more  accurate 
description  of  him.  *    *

"Westborough  has  an  interest  for  us  as  the  birthplace  of  Eli  "Whitney,  the  in- 
ventor of  the  cotton-gin,  an  invention  which  revolutionized  the  industry  of  the 
southern  states.  Many  other  men  of  note  were  natives  or  residents  of  the 
place. 

The  book  before  us  is  well  written  and  commends  itself  to  students  of  Ameri- 
can local  history.  It  treats  of  the  topography  of  Westborough,  of  its  Indian 
history,  its  first  white  settlers,  its  incorporation  in  1712,  its  churches  and 
ministers,  its  public  schools,  its  manufacturing  and  agricultural  industries, 
besides  other  topics  of  interest  relating  to  the  place  and  its  inhabitants.  The 
part  taken  by  its  people  in  the  French  and  Indian  wars,  the  revolution,  the  war 
of  IS  12  and  the  late  civil  war  are  fully  set  forth.  Biographical  sketches  of 
prominent  citi/i  ns  are  given  in  the  appendix. 

The  book  has  been  compiled  by  two  citizens  of  the  town,  the  Rev.  Mr.  De 
Forest  and  Mr.  Bates.  The  early  historj-  of  the  place,  closing  with  the  year 
18G0,  was  written  by  Mr.  De  Forest;  and  the  later  history,  beginning  with  the 
civil  war  and  coming  down  to  the  present  time,  a  period  of  thirty  years,  is  the 
work  of  Mr.  Bates.  Both  of  these  centlomeu  have  done  their  work  well.  The 
volume  is  well  printed  and  is  embellished  with  numerous  fine  illustrations,  con- 
sisting of  portraits,  views,  maps  and  plans.     It  has  a  good  index.

This  memorial  of  Seymour  W.  Baldwin,  a  merchant  of  Elyria,  Ohio,  and  his 
second  Avife,  contains  remarks  at  the  funeral  of  the  former,  Feb.  7,  1891.  by  the 
Rev.  Edwin  E.  Williams,  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Elyria.  and

Methodist  Episcopal  Church;  a  paper  by  Rev.  Frederick  A.  Gould  of  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church  at  Elyria;  ami  resolutions  by  various  bodies  on  his 
death.  The  Rev.  Dr.  Hoyt,  after  portraying  the  life  of  Mr.  Baldwin  as  a 
successful  business  man,  a  benevolent  citizen  and  a  sincere  christian,  thus  speaks 
of  its  lessons  :  "  You  and  I  can  look  at  such  a  character  as  his  and  learn  a  great 
lesson.  We  can  learn  that  it  is  not  the  greatest  thing  in  this  world  to  be  success- 
ful in  business,  to  be  a  great  lawyer  or  a  sreat  scholar,  a  great  doctor  or  a  man 
of  great  monej-ed  power.  There  is  something  in  human  nature,  something  in 
mind,  something  in  heart,  something  in  character  that  rises  up  above  ail  these 
earthly  things  and  gives  the  human  soul  a  dignity  and  glory  that  can  never  be 
destroyed." 

Mrs.  Fidelia  Baldwin  died  before  her  husband,  Oct.  5,  1886.  An  obituary  of

Gov.  John  Hancock,  of  Massachusetts,  the  first  signer  of  the  Declaration  of 
Independence,  is  enshrined  in  the  hearts  of  the  people  of  this  country,  though 
some  writers  have  endeavored  to  detract  from  his  merits.  Mr.  Burrage  has 
done  a  good  work  in  vindicating  his  memory  in  the  elegant  brochure  before  us. 
He  gives  a  detailed  account  of  the  life  of  the  patriot,  drawn  from  e\ery  source 
available  to  him.  The  illustrations  are  very  fine.  Portraits  of  John  Hancock 
and  his  wife  Dorothy  Quincy  (a  niece  of  Dr.  Holmes's  ancestress,  "Dorothy

The  Lost  Colony  of  Roanoke:  its  Fate  and  Surcival.  By  Stephen  B.  Weeks, 
Ph.D.  (Johns  Hopkins).  New  York:  The  Knickerbocker  Press.  1S91.  8vo. 
pp.  42.     Price  50  cents. 

This  paper  was  read  before  the  American  Historical  Association,  and  is  re- 
printed from  the  fifth  volume  of  the  Papers  of  that  society. 

Ralegh's  "  Lost  Colony  "  has  long  been  an  object  of  romantic  interest  to  our 
people,  and  Dr.  Wecks's  account  of  its  "fate  and  survival"  will  gratify  the 
curiosity  of  many  readers.  The  author  gives  an  account  of  Ralegh's  attempt  to 
colonize  Virginia,  and  reproduces  the  authorities  for  such  facts  as  have  been 
preserved.  He  then  advances  arguments  to  prove  that  the  Croatan  Indians, 
now  living  in  Robinson  County,  North  Carolina,  are  lineal  descendants  of  the 
colonists  left  on  Roanoke  Island  in  1587,  by  John  White.  The  conclusions

We  have  before  us  three  pamphlets  illusti-ating  the  genealogy  and  history  of 
the  Washington  family. 

In  the  first  work  Col.  Tliornton  A.  Washington  gives  much  genealogical  raatter 
relating  to  the  descendants  of  Col.  John  Washington  the  emigrant  ancestor  of 
President  Washington  in  the  line  of  the  compiler,  who  is  descended  from  Samuel 
Washington,  born  Nov.  16,  1734.  the  oldest  full  brother  of  the  President.  The 
work  seems  to  be  compiled  with  much  care.  The  biographies  of  the  various 
members  of  the  family  are  very  full,  and  contain  matter  hitherto  not  accessible. 

The  pamphlet  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Ilayden  is  reprinted  from  the  authors  "  Vir- 
ginia Genealogies."  Less  has  been  known  of  the  descendants  of  Lawrence 
Washington,  the  emigrant  to  Virginia,  than  there  has  been  of  tliose  of  his  elder 
brother  John,  to  whom  the  other  two  pamphlets  are  devoted.  Mr.  Hayden's 
pamphlet  is  particularly  welcome. 

Dr.  Toner's  pamphlet  is  a  reprint  of  his  contribution  to  the  July  number  of 
the  Register,  and  our  readers  are  familiar  with  its  valuable  contents.  It  is 
handsomely  printed  and  will  be  found  convenient  it  its  separate  form. 

Hov}  Yale  greio  to  be  a  National  University.     8vo.  14  pages. 

Weeden's  Economic  and  Social  History  of  New  England.     8vo.  26  pages. 

These  two  pamphlets  are  by  William  L.  Kingsley,  A.M.,  editor  of  the  Nein- 
Englander  and  Yale  Hei-iew.  and  are  reprinted  from  that  magazine;  the  former 
from  the  number  for  October,  IS'Jl,  and  the  latter  from  that  for  Novem.ber,  1891. 

In  the  first  pamphlet.  Mr.  Kingsley  shows  the  steps  by  which  Yale  College  grew 
to  be  a  "  national  university,"  as  he  claims  that  it  is.  "  No  other  college  in  the 
country,"  he  says,  "  draws  so  large  a  number  of  students  from  so  wide  an  area. 
Its  graduates  are  in  every  State  of  the  Union — we  might  say  in  every  town  of 
any  considerable  size.  Its  faculties,  though  for  the  most  part  made  up  of  its 
own  alumni,  include  Professors  selected  from  the  alumni  of  more  than  a  dozen 
other  institutions  of  learning.  Its  students  belong  to  families  connected  with 
all  the  diilerent  denominations,  and  all  these  denominations  are  also  represented 
among  its  instructors.  The  spirit  which  rules  on  the  campus  is  thoroughly 
American,  and  democratic  in  the  true  sense  of  that  term." 

A  college  was  contemplated  by  the  founders  of  New  Haven,  where  Yale  Col-

lege  is  seated,  and  land  was  set  apart  by  them  for  such  an  institution.  But  at 
the  request  of  the  friends  of  Harvard  College,  who  represented  that  New  Eng- 
land could  not  then  support  two  colleges,  the  plan  was  not  carried  into 
execution  for  three  scoi-e  years.  When,  at  the  besfinuiug  of  the  last  century,  a 
college  was  founded,  in  Connecticut,  it  was  detenuined  to  enlarge  the  area  from 
which  the  college  might  draw  its  support,  and  it  was,  the  author  says,  to  James 
Pierpont,  the  founder  of  the  institution,  that  we  owe  this.  The  plan  adopted 
in  1701  has  been  continued  to  the  present  time,  the  area  constantly  increasing 
from  wliich  students  were  drawn. 

The  second  pamphlet  is  a  review  of  Mr.  Weeden's  work  on  the  "  Economic 
and  Social  History  of  New  England.'  Mr.  Kingsley  appreciates  the  great  labor 
of  Mr.  Weeden  in  _.atheriug  his  facts  from  so  many  sources — many  of  tiiem 
obscure  and  not  easily  accessible ;  and  the  high  value  of  the  results  obtained 
by  his  careful  and  generally  judicious  labors.  But  he  cannot  agree  with  him 
in  all  his  inferences.  "Life  in  New  England  in  the  seventeenth  century," 
Mr.  Kingsley  thinks,  '-was  not  such  a  dull,  bare  and  spiritless  affair  as  is 
represented!  On  what  continent,  pray,  and  among  what  people  was  there  more 
real  and  substantial  happiness?  The  attempt  to  answer  this  question  may  lead 
some  people  to  pause  before  they  accept  the  estimate  which  is  placed  upon 
Puritans  in  this  book." 

New  Historical  Atlas  and  General  History.    By  Robert  H.  L.uiberton.    Silver, 
Burdett  &  Company,  New  York,  Boston,  Chicago.     IS'JO.     4to.  pp.  213. 

This  is  a  very  useful  work.  It  is  a  history  of  the  world  arranged  under  na- 
tions and  epochs,  and  illustrated  by  numerous  maps.  The  American  History  fills 
17  pages  of  the  work,  with  many  maps  illustrating  it.  Appended  are  twenty-nine 
genealogical  tables  of  royal  and  historic  families  from  classical  times  to  the 
present.  The  table  of  contents  embodies  a  bibliography  of  the  works  used  as 
authorities.  Mr.  Labberton  has  been  engaged  for  twenty  years  on  a  large 
historical  and  genealogical  atlas  which  has  not  yet  been  published,  but  his  labors 
on  that  work  have  furnisiaed  material  and  fitted  him  for  this.  The  plates  of  a 
former  Atlas  having  been  destroyed  by  tire,  the  author  has  made  a  thorough 
revision  of  the  work  and  presents  it  to  his  readers  in  the  well  printed  book 
before  us. 


Geology,  Government  and  Resources.  Fully  Illustrated  icith  ^aps,  Engravings

Publishers,     12mo.  pp.  X.+243.     Price  §1. 

The  title-page  sets  forth  clearly  the  contents  of  this  book.  It  has  been  the 
author's  intention,  as  he  states  in  the  preface,  to  produce  "  a  history  and  guide 
to  the  Bahama  Islands.  In  the  performance  of  this  task  every  available  source 
of  information  known  to  him  has  been  drawn  upon,  the  best  authorities  have 
teen  consulted,  such  as  Bi-uce's,  McKinnen's,  Edwards's,  and  Bacot's  histories, 
from  which  much  valuable  information  has  been  compiled,  and  also  from  some 
recent  works  on  the  Bahamas,  such  as  Powles,  Ives,  Drysdale's  and  the  Xassau 
Almanac." 

Mr.  Stark  has  evidently  bestowed  much  labor  on  this  work.  The  reader 
will  find  here  interesting  matter  on  this  subject  which  has  never  before  appeared 
in  print.  The  fourth  centenary  of  the  discover}'  of  America  by  Columbus 
occurring  in  this  year,  readers  will  be  attracted  towards  the  contents  of  this 
neat  and  handy  volume.

Battles  of  Saratoga.  1777.      TTie  Saratoija  Monument  Assonation,  1S56-1S91. 

lUnstratrd.    By  Ellex  Hardix  Walworth.    Joel  Munsell's  Sons,  Publishers. 

Albanj',  X.  Y.     Royal  Svo.  pp.  191.     Price  §2.50. 

Mrs.  Walworth  published  a  monoirraph  on  Burfroyne's  Canipaiixn  in  1877,  the 
ceutenai-}'  of  the  capture  of  that  ireneral's  army.  She  has  been  induced  by  the 
favorable  reception  which  her  volume  met  with,  to  brins,'  out  this  volume,  and 
to  illustrate  it  with  "original  views  of  the  battle-ground,  and  the  historic 
tablets  which  have  been  erected  to  mark  difterent  poinds  of  intero-t." 

The  volume  contains  an  account  of  the  battles  of  Saratoga,  followed  by  a  his- 
tory of  the  Saratoga  Monument  Association  and  other  historical  matters  relating 
to  Saratoga  and  the  battles.  The  initiatory  steps  for  forming  this  association 
were  taken  in  183G,  at  a  meeting  of  patriotic  gentlemen  in  the  old  Schuyler 
mansion  at  Schuylerville.  X.  Y..  and  resulted  in  the  organization  in  1859  of  an 
association,  with  the  Hon.  Hamilton  Fish  as  President.  The  history  of  this 
association  and  what  it  has  done  is  fully  given  in  this  volume  by  Mrs.  Walworth, 
who  is  chairman  of  the  committee  on  tablets,  and  also  on  that  in  charge  of  the 
monument. 

The  book  is  handsomely  printed  on  thick  white  paper,  and  is  illustrated  with 
twenty-four  flne  engravings,  consisting  of  portraits,  views,  maps  and  plans. 

Saratoga  is  admitted  to  be  one  of  the  decisive  battles  of  the  world,  and  Mrs. 
Walworth  has  done  a  service  to  her  countrymen  in  preserving  the  history  of  that 
important  event  and  of  the  association  whose  object  is  to  commemorate  it.

tants  of  that  to-svn.     Prof.  Thomas  has  bronijht  out  his  book  in  a  haudsome 
form.     It  is  well  printed  and  bound.     It  has  a  irood  index. 

The  Brockway  book  is  devoted  to  the  descendants  of  Wolstou  Brockwav  tvho 
settled  in  Lyme,  Connecticut,  in  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century.'  Mr. 
Brockway  of  Oweiro,  the  compiler,  has  had  the  assistance  of  the  veteran  "qw- 
alogist,  Mr.  D.  Williams  Patterson  of  Newark  Vallev,  N.  Y.  The  book  i-Twell 
arranged  and  well  indexed.  It  makes  a  handsome  vo'lume,  illustrated  with  por- 
traits. 

The  Diraond  Family,  by  Mr.  Dimond  of  San  Francisco,  is  chiefly  devoted  to 
the  descendants  of  Thomas  Dimond,  an  early  settlei  of  Fairfleld,  Conn.  They 
are  traced  to  the  present  time,  some  of  the  tenth  ireneration  beim;  given.  We 
have  also  in  the  book  the  records  of  the  descendants  of  Thomas^Dymont  of 
East  Hampton,  L.  I.,  who  died  in  1GS2,  and  of  Ezekiel  Diinond.  Mho  settled  in 
Concord,  X.  H.  about  1750  and  Mdio  was  a  native  of  South  Hampton  in  that 
province.  Though  living  at  such  a  distance  from  the  early  records  of  the 
family,  he  has  under  these  dimculties  persevered  is  his  research  and  made  a  very 
commendable  book.     It  has  a  good  index. 

The  materials  for  a  History  of  the  Sessions  Family  contain  a  large  amount 
of  matter  relating  to  the  name,  consisting  of  biojjraphies,  letters,  extracts  from 
public  records,  records  of  families,  etc.  While  on  a  recent  tour  of  Europe  he 
visited  Wantage,  Berkshire,  from  which  place  he  had  some  reason  for  believing 
that  his  ancestors  came,  but  he  found  none  of  the  name  there,  thouijh  in  the 
adjoining  county  of  Gloucester  he  met  with  persons  of  that  name,  oue'of  whom 
was  mayor  of  the  city  of  Gloucester.  The  hook  makes  a  neat  volume  and  is 
illustrated  with  portraits  and  views  of  buildings. 

The  book  on  the  Mifflin  family  relates  to  the  descendants  of  John  MitHin, 
senior,  and  John  Mifflin,  junior,  father  and  son,  wiio  came  from  Warminster' 
Wiltshire,  some  time  prior  to  lt37S).  and  settled  in  Pennsylvania.  It  contains 
much  valuable  material.     It  makes  a  handsome  volume. 

The  Farnsworth  book  is  principally  devoted  to  the  descendants  of  Matthias 
Farnsworth,  who  was  a  resident  of  Lynn,  Mass.,  as  earlv  as  16.37,  but  who  re- 
moved a  few  years  later  to  Groton.  Two  others  of  the' surname  are  found  in 
America  in  the  seventeenth  century— Joseph  at  Dorchester,  Mass.,  in  1632.  and 
Thomas,  a  quaker,  at  what  is  now  Bordentown,  Xew  Jersev.  Mr.  Farnsworth 
gives  brief  accounts  of  Joseph  and  Thomas  and  their  families,  and  devotes  the 
rest  of  the  book  to  the  posterity  of  Matthias.  The  work  is  based  on  collections 
by  the  authors  uncle.  Rev.  James  D.  Farnsworth,  who  died  in  1854.  It  is  a 
very  acceptable  contribution  to  American  genealogy.  It  's  well  printed  and 
indexed. 

The  next  work,  on  the  Putnam  family,  will  fill  a  loner  felt  want.  When  com- 
pleted it  will  contain  the  result  of  the  labors  of  several  industrious  genealogists, 
the  first  of  whom  was  Dea.  Edward  Putnam,  a  grandson  of  the  enTiirrant  ^who 
compiled  a  genealogy  in  173;i.  The  author  of  this  work,  Mr.  Eben  Piitnam  of 
Danvers,  began  collecting  facts  when  twelve  years  of  a^e.  After  others  who 
had  been  preparing  a  Putnam  genealogy  for  the  press  had  died  or  given  up  the 
task,  Mr.  Putnam  took  their  materials  and  by  great  labor  for  severa'i  years  has 
prepared  them  for  the  press.  The  book  when  completed  will  make  HOG  octavo 
pages,  embellished  with  about  30  full  page  illustrations.  It  will  be  issued  in 
parts  of  about  GO  pages  each.  The  compiler  hopes  to  publish  the  work  complete 
by  next  summer.     The  part  before  us  is  well  arranged  and  well  printed. 

The  Rex  ford  book  is  devoted  to  the  descendants  of  Arthur  Rex  ford  who

is  clearly  arranged. 

Mr.  Putnam's  pamphlet  on  the  Prince  family  is  reprinted  from  the  Collections 
of  the  Essex  Institute,  vol.  27.  It  is  intended  to  be  supplem^-ntary  to  the 
account,  in  vol.  H,  by  the  late  Dr.  James  A.  Emmerton,  of  the  im'mediate 
descendants  of  Robert  Prince  of  Salem. 

The  pamphlet  on  the  Pollard  family  gives  the  ancestry  and  descendants  of 
Jonathan  Pollard  of  New  Braiutree.  Mass.,  born  at  Suncook,  N.  H.,  March  3 
1759.  He  was  a  great  grandson  of  Thomas  Pollard,  who  settled  at  Billerica.' 
Mass.,  about  1692.  The  work  is  well  compiled  and  handsomely  printed.  It 
also  contains  genealogical  matter  relating  to  the  families  of  Merrick,  Smith 
Bird  and  Williams.  ' 

The  next  three  pamphlets,  relating  to  Smith,  Hoare  and  Elliott,  are  reprints 
from  the  Registek,  and  their  matter  is  familier  to  our  readers.

The  Ancestral  Dictionary  consists  of  a  series  of  sixty-four  ancestral  tables, 
each  of  ^vhich  gives  all  the  known  ancestors  to  the  fonrth  generation  of  indi- 
vidnals  of  more  or  less  prominence,  living  and  dead.  Appended  are  eight  blank 
charts,  in  which  the  purchaser  can  record  his  own  ancestry  and  that  of  his 
friends.     It  is  a  very  useful  volume. 

The  last  three  pamphlets  give  the  exercises  at  the  gatherings  of  the  families 
of  Hooker,  Eaton  and  Ilartwell.  These  were  all  interesting  occasions,  and  the 
pamphlets  preserve  much  valuable  material.

and  after  an  archreological  tour  in  Hol- 
land and  Belgium,  he  repaired  to  Paris, 
where  he  spent  the  last  few  -sveeks  of 
his  European  life  in  re\"i^itin2:  the  gal- 
leries and  museums  of  that  most  favored 
city.  Returning  to  America  he  reached 
his  native  city  towards  the  last  of  May ; 
and,  after  a  few  weeks  with  his  friends, 
he  fell  asleep  with  the  composure  of  a 
philosopher,  cheered  and  .-ustained  by 
the  clear  and  earnest  fai'h  of  a  Christian. 
A  friend  and  fellow-student,  who  knew 
him  intimately,  both  in  America  and 
Germany,  says  of  him  : — 

"  He  was  under  all  circumstances 
kind  and  sympathetic,  always  eager  to 
forget  self  in  helping  others;  of  true 
Christian  character ;  a  conscientious 
student  and  thorough  scholar.  On  his 
death  bed  he  had  a  kind  word  of  re- 
membrance and  consolation  for  every 
friend.  His  name  will  long  live  in 
those  circles  in  which  he  moved,  both 
in  America  and  Germany,  and  his  life, 
though  short,  may  well  serve  as  a 
model  for  those  who  knew  hLm."^Ca?n»

Rev.  Dr.  Codman  over  the  Second 
Church  in  Dorchester.  In  comm.on 
with  the  other  members  of  her  famiiv, 
she  sympathized  wannlv  with  Dr! 
Codman  in  the  troubles  of  that  time; 
which  laid  the  foundation  of  a  friend- 
ship with  him  and  his  wife  that  lasted 
through  their  lives,  and  descended  to 
their  children. 

She  was  an  only  daughter.     The  late 
Rev.   Leonard    Withington,   D.D.,    for 
many  years  pastor  of  the  First  Church 
in   Newbury,    Mass.,    was    her    oldest 
brother;  and  the  late  Mr.  Abijah  W. 
Withington,  of  Dorchester,  her  voun'^- 
est.     Two  other  brothers  died  in  early 
manhood,      Joseph       and      Ebenezer. 
Joseph  was   a    skilful   engraver.      He 
and  Leonard   were  in  the   employ   of 
the    late    Joseph    T.    Buckingharn    of 
the    Boston    Courier.      At   that   early 
date  the  brothers   conceived   the   idea 
of  an  illustrated  magazine,  and  planned 
its  pubhcation.     Leonard  was  to  have 
charge  of  the  literary  pan  and  Joseph 
of  the  artistic.      This   enterprise  was 
frustrated    by    the    death    of    Joseph. 
Ebenezer  was  twin  to  Abijah.    He  was 
a  lawyer   in  Pittsburg,  Pennsylvania. 
Only  one  brother  sm-vives,  at  the  wye  of 
ninety-three.  Rev.  William  Withington

Episcopal    Church    many    years    aso,

since. 

Miss  Withington's  life  was  spent  in 
Dorchester,  with  the  exception  of 
several  years  with  her  brother  in  New- 
bury. The  Second  Church  held  a  lar'-j-e 
place  in  her  affections  always,  and  m 
her  labors  during  the  active"  period  of 
her  life.  Her  funeral  was  from  its 
chapel,  Saturday,  Dec.  19th,  Rev,  Dr. 
Arthur  Little  officiating.  e.  t.  >-.

GEN.  HENRY  JACKSON. 

By  the  Editor  of  the  REOisxEa. 

Henry  Jackson,  a  distinguished  officer  in  the  Revolutionary 
war,  was  born  in  Boston,  in  1747,  where  he  was  baptized  on  the 
25th  of  October  in  that  year.  His  father  was  Col.  Joseph  Jack- 
son, a  distiller,  and  his  mother  was  Susannah  Gray.  They  were 
married  May  1,  1732,  and  lived  happily  together  nearly  sjxty 
years.  Mrs.  Jackson  survived  her  husband  and  died  Dec.  4,  1792, 
aged  84.  Their  gravestones  are  in  King's  Chapel  Burial  Ground. 
Col.  Joseph  Jackson  held  many  military  offices.  He  was  major  of 
the  Boston  Regiment  in  1758,  and  colonel  from  1761  to  1763.  He 
was  admitted  a  member  of  the  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery 
Company  in  1738,  was  chosen  ensign  in  1746,  lieutenant  in  1749, 
and  captain  in  1752.  In  1763,  on  the  death  of  the  treasurer,  Col. 
John  Phillips,  Col.  Jackson  succeeded  him  as  treasurer  of  the  Artil- 
lery Company,  and  held  the  office  till  the  Revolution.  He  died 
April  10,  1790,  aged  84,  and  was  buried  under  arms  by  the 
Artillery  Company,  though  he  was  not  then  in  commission.  A 
band  of  music  was  on  this  occasion  first  used,  though  it  was  paid 
for  by  the  family  of  the  deceased. 

Henry  Jackson  inherited  the  military  tastes  of  his  father.  After 
the  evacuation  of  Boston  by  the  British,  in  1776,  he  raised  a  mili- 
tary company  in  that  town  and  was  chosen  its  captain.  When  the 
Declaration  of  Independence  was  read  from  the  balcony  of  the  State 
House,  which  was  on  the  18th  of  July,  1776,  he  was  waited  on  by 
the  High  Sheriff  with  a  request  from  the  Hon.  James  Bowdoiu, 
president  of  the  Council,  that  his  company  might  be  under  arms  at 
the  time  the  Declaration  was  read.  Capt.  Jackson  accordingly 
waited  on  his  honor,  and  to  his  great  mortification  he  was  obliged 
to  tell  him  that  the  company  was  not  fit  to  turn  out,  and  besides 
they  had  not  then  received  their  uniforms.  He  begged  to  be  ex- 
cused, which  request  was  granted.      In  the  letter  to  his  friend,  Col.

112  Gen.  Henry  Jackson.  [April, 

Henry  Knox,  then  in  New  York,  written  the  day  of  the  occurrer.ce, 
in  which  he  naiTatea  this  incident,  Capt.  Jackson  says:  "I  think 
it  would  have  been  a  fine  opportunity  for  our  appearance  if  our 
company  could  have  turned  out  at  the  Declaration  of  Independence. 
You  know,"  he  continues,  "that  the  first  impression  is  the  most 
lasting.  Althouci^h  we  did  not  form  our  company  for  Parade,  yet 
Parade  is  pleasing."  The  whole  company  was  however  invited  to 
attend  in  the  council  chamber  on  the  occasion,  and  drink  to  "  Tiie 
States  of  America."* 

In  April,  1777,  Capt.  Jackson  was  ordered  with  his  company  to 
Rhode  Island,  and  was  on  duty  there  some  weeks.  He  had  been 
commissioned  by  Congress  on  the  twelfth  of  January,  1777,  colonel 
of  an  additional  continental  battalion,  and  on  his  return  from  Rliode 
Island  he  recruited,  in  Boston  and  vicinity,  the  sixteenth  ]M:^ssa- 
chusetts  Regiment,  called  the  Boston  Regiment,  which  at  once  took 
a  high  rank  for  its  soldierly  appearance  and  excellent  discipline, 
demonstrating  its  valor  on  several  hard-fought  battle  fields.  This 
regiment,  on  the  1st  of  January,  1781,  was  consolidated  with  the 
ninth,  and  on  the  further  reduction  of  the  army  on  the  30th  of 
October,  1782,  was  numbered  the  fourth. 

The  Boston  Regiment  left  Boston  on  the  7th  of  October,  1777,  to 
join  the  main  army  near  Philadelphia,  and  took  part  in  the  battles 
of  Monmouth,  June  28,  1778,  Quaker  Hill,  R.  I.,  August  29, 
1778,  and  Springfield,  N.  J.,  June  23,  1780. 

Col.  Jackson  is  said  to  have  commanded  the  last  body  of  conti- 
nental troops  in  service  at  the  close  of  the  war,  being  in  service  till 
July,  1784.  He  was  among  those  who  were,  by  Act  of  Congress, 
made  brigadier  generals  at  the  end  of  the  war.  Returning  to  Boston, 
he  engaged  in  mercantile  pursuits.  He  was  major  general  of  the 
first  division  of  the  Massachusetts  militia  from  1792  to  179G,  and 
was  the  agent  of  the  United  States  in  superintending  the  building  of 
the  frigate  Constitution  at  Boston  in  1797. 

He  was  the  life-long  friend  and  correspondent  of  Gen.  Henry 
Knox,  and  while  Knox  was  United  States  Secretary  of  War  he  acted 
for  him  as  agent  in  his  business  affairs,  particularly  those  concerning 
his  eastern  lands. 

Gen.  Jackson  was  the  first  treasurer  of  the  Massachusetts  Society 
of  the  Cincinnati,  and  held  the  office  from  its  formation  in  1783 
till  his  death.  The  importance  of  his  services  to  the  society  in 
building:  up  and  husbandintjr  its  funds  was  recoo^nized  by  its  vote 
October  23,  1806,  authorizing  the  presentation  to  him  of  a  silver 
cup.  This  testimonial,  however,  never  reached  him,  as  it  did  not 
arrive  from  England,  where  it  was  made,  until  after  his  decease. 
In  1813,  Dr.  Stephen  Thayer  presented  to  this  Society  a  portrait  of 
the  general,  which  now  hangs  on  the  walls  of  the  New-England 
Hiatorie  Genealogical  Society.     This  portrait  has  been  engraved  for

114  Cotton  Mather  and  the  Eoyal  Society.  [April, 

Voted,  That  the  Society  walk  in  Procession  at  the  Funeral  of  their  late 
Treasurer,  General  Henry  Jackson,  on  Saturday  next;  that  the  usual 
emblem  of  mourning  be  attached  to  the  badge  of  the  Society,  and  that  black 
crape  be  worn  on  the  left  arm. 

Adams  Bailet,  Recording  Secretary* 

His  funeral  took  place  from  his  lodging-house  in  Common  Street, 
at  the  head  of  the  ]Mall,  on  Saturday,  the  7th,  at  three  o'clock  in 
the  afternoon.  He  was  buried  at  Dorchester  "in  a  tomb  near  the 
house  of  Madam  Swan,  removed  when  Woodward  Park  was  laid 
out  through  the  place.  An  inscription  upon  it,  stating  that  it  was 
erected  by  the  hand  of  friendship,  closed  with  some  eulogistic  verses 
to  the  memory  of  the 

'  Christian,  Soldier,  Patriot  and  Friend.'  "f 
He  was  of  large  and  full  habit,  being  nearly  as  corpulent  as  his 
bosom  friend  Gen.  Knox.  In  1783,  while  at  West  Point,  he 
weighed  two  hundred  and  thirty-eight  pounds.  Gen.  Nathaniel 
Greene,  in  a  familiar  letter  to  Gen.  Knox,  made  this  significant 
inquiry  relative  to  him  :  "  Can  he  still  eat  dov,m  a  plate  of'  fish  he 
can't  see  over,  God  bless  his  fat  soul?"  J 

He  was  a  bachelor,  a  man  of  wit,  gallantry  and  conviviality. 
He  was  generous  and  hospitable  in  his  temper,  gentlemanly  in 
manner,  and  eminently  social  in  his  disposition. § 


WAS  COTTON  :^L1THER  A  FELLOW  OF  THE  ROYAL 

SOCIETY? 

Communicated  to  The  yation.  New  York,  Feb.  18,  1S92,  hy  N.  Dahxell  Davis,  Esq.,  of 

Georgetown,  Demerara. 

In  most  biographical  notices  of  Cotton  Mather,  that  eminent  man 

is  said  to  have  been   a  Fellow  of  the  Royal  Society.     In  some   of 

such  notices,  the  statement  is  emphasized  by  describing  him  as  the 

first  native-born  American  who  attained  lo  that  honor.     Accordino- 

to  his  son,  there  were  many  in  New  England  wiio  were  ''so  foolish 

as  to  doubt,  nay,  to  deny,  his  right  to  that  title.''     Cotton  Mather's 

name  did  not  and  does  not  appear  in  any  list  of  the  Fellows  of  the 

Society.      Becoming  himself  uneasy  upon  the  point,  he  inquired  of 

the  Secretary  to  the  Royal  Society  whether  he  really  was  a  Fellow. 

In  reply,  he  was  informed  that  he  had   been  elected  a  Fellow  both 

by  the  Council  and  by  the  general  body  of  Fellows.      That  his  name 

did  not  appear  in  the  published  list  was  due,  he  was  told,  to  the  fact 

that,  being  in  America,  he  was  unable  to  subscribe  personally  to  the

orders  of  the  Society,  from  which  foreigners  were  dispensed,  but  not 
British  subjects.  Years  went  by,  and  still  Cotton  :Mather  felt  un- 
certain of  his  position.  On  INIay  21,  1723,  he  wrote  the  subjoined 
letter  to  Dr.  Jurin,  then  Secretary  of  the  Royal  Society  : 

"Syr  :  You  are  better  knowu  to  roe  than  I  am  to  you;  and  I  conoratu- 
late  UDto  myself,  as  well  as  uuto  the  world,  the  felicity  of  jour  succession 
in  the  office  of  Secretary  to  the  Royal  Society.  But  in  order  to  a  mutual 
better  knowledge,  I  owe  you,  &  must  now  give  you,  some  very  short 
account  of  myself;  more  particularly,  with  relation  to  that  Illustrious  Body 
whereof  I  hoped,  I  had  the  Houour  of  being  esteemed  a  Member.  Havin.^ 
the  pleasure  of  some  correspondence  with  your  excellent  predecessor  Mr! 
Waller.  I  did  communicate  unto  him  (and  unto  mv  valuable  Dr.  Wood- 
ward) a  great  number  of  American,  and  philosophical  curiosities;  with  an 
intimation  of  my  purpose  to  continue  the  communications.  Those  ^reii tie- 
men  put  the,  as  unexpected  as  undeserved,  respect  upon  me,  of  proposincr 
me  for  a  Member  of  the  Royal  Society;  and  they  both  wrote  unto  me,  that 
I  was  chosen  accordingly  both  by  the  Council  aud  Body  of  the  Society,  on 
the  Anniversary  Day  for  such  election  in  the  year  1713.— Adding  that  the 
only  Reason  of  my  not  having  my  name  in  \he  prifited  list  of  the  Society 
was  because  of  my  being  beyond-Sea  and  yet  a  Natural  Born  Subject  % 
so  not  capable  of  being  inserted  among  the  gentlemen  of  other  Nations 

"Your  Secretary  also,  Dr.  Halley  in  the  philosophical  Transactions  of 
171 -i  printed  my  name,  with  an  F.  R.  S.  annexed  unto  it.  Mr.  Petiver  did 
the  like,  in  his  Naturae  Collectanea;  and  in  his  letters  to  me,  he  had  these 
words,  '  Your  election  succeeded  without  opposition,  and  you  were  elected 
after  the  usual  method  of  Balloting.  The  reason  of  your  bein^  out  of  the 
printed  list,  is  your  not  being  personally  here,  to  subscribe  to  the  onlers  that 
should  be  tendered  you';  to  which  he  added  congratulations  &  complements 
not  proper  to  be  by  my  pen  transcribed. 

"A  Distinguished,  &  a  diminutive  crue  of  odd  people  here,  when   they 
could  find  no  other  darts  to  throw  at  me,  imagined   their   not   tindincr   my 
name  on  the  printed  list  of  the  Rojjal  Society,  would  enable  them  to  detect 
me  of  an  imposture  for  affixing  an  F.  R.  S.  unto  my  name,  on  some  just 
occasions  for  it.     And  an  intkmous  fellow,  whose  name  is  John   Checkley 
a  sorry  Toryman  (that  yet  had  the  impudence  to  write  as  a  Divine)   wrote 
a  letter  full  of^scandalous  invectives  against  me.  which  was  publi^klv  read 
mthe  Royal  Society.     This  wretched  man,  ambitious  to  do  the  part  of  a 
J^^fe,  prmted   here   some   Rapsodies,  to   prove,  that  the    God  whom   K. 
William,   and   the    christians    of    New    England    have   worsldpped,  is    the

gations  on  the  Blasphemer  that  I  became  thereupon  the  object  of  his  im- 
placable revenge.     But  of  this  matter,  I  gave  Dr.  Woodward  a  more  full 
account,  a  year  and  a  half  ago :   Which  because  I  know  not  whether  ever  he 
received  it   I  now  repeat  a  little  of;   Relying  to  your  justice,  if  any  further 
indignity  of  this  Mature  should  be  offered  me.     But,  that  I  may  not  lav 
aside  any  of  the  meek,  patient,  humble  disposition   with  which  I  should 
address  you  on  this  occasion,  I  shall  keep  such  Terms,  as  I  used  unto  my 
Doctor  when  he  had  what  he  required  of  me  upon  it.

•  seeking  in  the  least  measure  for  them,  the  Testimonies  of  tlie  highest  respect 
that  they  could,  show  to  the  meanest  of  men,  and  amon^  the  rest  a  Diploma 
for  the  Doctorate  in  Theology.  Upon  this  I  was  under  some  temptation 
unto  the  vanity  of  Thinking  that  it  was  possible  the  Ro>jal  Society,  also 
might_e.>teem  it  no  disgrace,  to  permit  my  name  among  their  members. 
Especially,  when  my  remittances  to  their  Treasury,  might  for  number 
(however  not  for  value)  be  a^qual  to  what  they  might  receive  of  some  other 
memi^ers  whose  correspondence  they  cast  a  kind  Aspect  upon.  For  the 
embellishments  wherewith  I  sfudied'usuallv  (after  the  manner  of  the  Ger- 
man Kphemerides),  to  make  my  dry  &  dull  stories  a  little  more  palatable 
to  men  of  erudition,  some  of  your  own  members,  as  well  as  Monsr  Tourne- 
fort  helped  me  to  some  apolo^^v. 

"But  if  after  all,  it  be  the  pleasure  of  those  Honourable  persons,  who 
compose  or  govern  the  Royal  Society,  that  I  should  lav  asside  mv  preten- 
sions to  be  at  all  related  unto  that  illustrious  Body,  upon  the  least  signiti- 
cation  of  it  by  your  pen,  it  shall  be  dutifully  complied  withal.  I  will  'only 
continue  to  take  the  leave  of  still  communicatiogAnnuallv  to  you  (as  lon'o- 
as  I  live)  what  Curiosa  Americana  I  can  become  the  possessor  of.  For 
(my  Jewish  Rabbis  having  taught  me,  to  love  the  work,  and  have  little  regard 
unto  the  Rabbinate)  it  is  not  the  Title,  but  the  service  that  is  the  Heiohth, 
&  indeed  the  whole,  of  my  ambition.  ^ 

"  As  a  Token  of  my  purposes  this  way,  and  as  an  earnest  of  a  much 
greater  variety,  which  I  propose  to  send  you  by  another  hand,  about  a  Fort- 
night hence,  I  now  present  you  with  a  tedious  account  of  sentiments  & 
occurrents  relating  to  a  subject,  about  which  I  perceive  you  are  sollicitous  to 
have  the  exactest  informations.  At  this  time,  I  add  no  more,  but  with 
hearty  prayers,  to  Heaven,  that  you  may  be  continued  long  as  a  great 
Blessing  to  the  world  I  subscribe

The  answer  to  the  above  letter  should  be  interesting.  There  is, 
however,  no  record  of  it  in  the  archives  of  the  Kojal  Society. 
Under  the  circumstanccji,  it  will  be  well  to  inquire  how  far  the  pro- 
ceedings o(  the  Society  established  the  fact  of  Cotton  Mather's  con- 
nection with  it. 

For  the  election  of  Fellows,  the  ordinary  procedure  observed  by 
the  Royal  Society  is  this  :  The  "names  are  lirst  submitted  to  the 
Council  of  the  Society.  After  candidates  have  by  the  Council  been 
chosen  for  submission  at  a  general  meeting  of  Fellows,  their  names

are  brought  before  such  meeting.     Here  the  election  is  made,  and 
two-thirds  of  the  votes  are  necessary  to  secure  it. 

In  the  Journal  of  the  Society  there  is  the  followino-  entry,  under 
date  of  July  23,  1715: 

^"  A  letter  drawn  up  by  Mr.  Waller  for  Mr.  Cotton  ^Mather  at  Boston  in 
New  England  was  read;  giving  an  account  of  the  receipt  of  his  letter  and 
his  manuscript,  containing  his  several  observations  on  JSatural  subjects,  with 
an  invitation  to  a  future  correspondence;  which  was  ordered  to  be  sent. 

^  "  Mr.  Waller  proposed  the  same  gentleman  as  a  candidate,  according  to 
his  desire  mentioned  in  his  said  letter;  which  was  referred  to  the  next 
Council.'' 

The  ]Minutes  of  the  Council  of  July  27,  1713,  record  that  "Mr. 
Cotton  Ma. her  was  proposed,  balloted  for,  and  approved  to  be  a 
Member  of  the  Society."  A  diligent  search  among  the  records  of 
the  Society  has,  however,  failed  to  find  that  Cotton  Mather's  name 
was  ever  submitted  to  the  general  body  of  Fellows.  Would  it  be 
an  undue  surmise  to  suspect  that  Cotton  Mather's  mistaken  zeal  in 
the  witchcraft  heresy  stood  in  the  v/ay  of  his  obtaining  a  two- thirds 
vote,  and  that,  the  Council  finding  this  the  case,  did  not  risk  a 
rejection  ? 

If  Cotton  Mather  may  not  be  reckoned  a  duly  elected  Fellow  of 
the  Royal  Society,  who  then,  of  Americans  born,  is  to  be  reckoned 
the  earliest  Fellow  of  that  distinguished  body?  On  the  11th  of 
March,  1714,  the  Rev.  Mr.  William  Brattle,  niinister  of  the  Church 
at  Cambridge,  Xew  England,  was  elected  a  Fellow  by  the  general 
body  of  members.  On  November  the  21st,  "Sir  Hans  Sloane  pro- 
posed Mr.  Elihu  Yale,  Executor  to  Dr.  Thomas  Paget,  as  a  can- 
didate, which  was  referred  to  the  next  Council."  Yale  was  elected 
on  the  30th  of  Xovember,  1717,  and  Paul  Dudley  on  the  2d  of 
November,  1721.  In 'a  List  of  Fellows  of  the  Roval  Society,  to 
be  found  among  the  Rawlinson  MSS.  in  the  Bodleian  (C.  437), 
the  names  of  Brattle  (1713-14),  Yale  (1717),  and  Dudley  (1721) 
are  given,  but  not  the  name  of  Cotton  Mather. 


ENGLISH  ANCESTRY  OF  THE  HIGGINSON  FA^^IILY. 

Communicated  by  Col.  Thokas  W.  Higoinsox,  A.M.,  of  Cambridge,  Mass. 

I  HAVE  lately  been  informed  by  the  Rey.  E.  Harlin  Bates,  Assistant 
Curate  of  the  Claybrooke  Parish,  Leicester,  England,  of  the  recent 
discovery  at  Stanford  Hall  in  that  county  of  part°of  the  lon^-missing 
records  of  Claybrooke  parish.  This  affords  for  the  first"  time  the 
means  of  determining,  with  some  approach  to  accuracy,  the  year  of 
the  birth  of  the  Rev.   Francis  Higginson ;  a  date  which  rested  on 


H:':        "•■.!       J.i

surmise  when  my  life  of  him  appeared.  He  was  baptized,  at  any 
rate,  on  Aug.  6,  1586.  The  parish  books  give  also  a  list  of  his 
brothers  and  sisters,  agreeing  substantially  with  the  list  preserved  in 
family  records  and  given  in  my  memoir  aforesaid.  The  record  also 
supplies  for  the  first  time  the  date  of  burial  of  Francis  Higginson's 
father,  the  Rev.  John  Higginson,  who  was  buried,  it  seems,  on  Feb. 
19,  1624;  this  being  the  year  suggested  in  my  memoirs  (p.  4)  as 
possible  or  probable.  The  name  so  curiously  given  as  Dawritie  and 
Duwritie  is  unquestionably  Dorothy.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY  OF  MAJOR-GENERAL  DANIEL  DENISON. 

Communicated  by  Daniel  Denison  Slade,  M.D.,  of  Chestnut  Hill,  Mass. 

The  following  document,  written  by  Mnjor-General  Daniel  Deni- 
son to  his  grandchildren,  and  lately  found  among  the  effects  of  the 
Rev.  Daniel  llogers  of  Exeter,  is  of  historical  importance,  inasmuch  as 
it  substantiates  facts  heretofore  problematical,  while  it  supplies  know- 
ledge upon  points  which  were  very  uncertain  or  entirely  wantino-. 

Heretofore  ve  have  been  unable  to  state  from  what  portion  of 
England  the  family  came,  nor  were  we  sure  of  the  exact  date  of 
emigration.  Denison  states  that  his  brother  J./nn  and  himself  were 
bred  scholars  at  Cambridge  and  that  his  father  suddenly  "  unsettled  " 
himself,  recalled  them  from  Cambridge  and  removed  to  Xew  England  ; 
that  his  father  brought  with  him  a  very  good  estate,  settling  him- 
self at  Koxbury.  The  General  gives  us  the  date  of  his  marriao-e  to 
Patience  Dudley — of  which  no  previous  record  has  been  known  to 
be  in  existence;  and  furnishes  us  many  particulars  in  regard  to  kith 
and  kin.  There  can  be  no  doubt  of  the  authenticity  of  the  document, 
and  its  discovery  is  a  happy  circumstance. 

To  my  Dear  Grandchildren 

John,  DaiiieU  and  Martha  Denison 

That  you  being  left  fatherless  Children  might  not  bo  altoirether  ignoranf; 
of  your  ancestors,  nor  strangers  to  your  near  relations,  I  thought  meet  to 
acquaint  you  with  your  predecessors,  and  your  deceut  from  them. 

Your  Great  Grandfather  Denison  was  born  in  England  at  Bishops  Strat- 
ford in  Hertford  shier,  in  which  Town  he  Married  and  lived  till  the  Year  of 
our  Lord  1631,  with  two  brothers  Ed\7ard  and  George,  who  all  of  them 
had  Children.  George  the  youngest  Brother  had  a  son  named  also  George, 
my  cousen  German,  wlio  was  living  in  Stratford  in  the  year  1672  as  your 
uncle  Harlackenden  Symonds  toid  me,  who  was  that  year  in  England,  and 
spoke  with  him,  My  uncle  Edward  had  also  Children  and  in  the  year  1631, 
removed  himself  and  family  into  Ireland,  where  he  died  and  left  a  son 
called  John  Denison  who  was  a  souldier  and  a  Major  of  a  Regiment  in  the 
time  of  the  Wars,  and  Deputy  Governor  of  Corke.  where  Mr.  \yainwri2ht 
saw  him.*  I  have  received  divers  Letters  from  him,  he  was  living  in  Dubline 
in  the  year  1670,  your  great  Grandfather  my  Dear  father  whose  name  was 
William,  had  by  my  dear  Mother  whose  name  was  Chandler  six  sous,  and 
one  Daughter,  two  of  which  (viz)  one  son  and  the  Daughter  died  in  their 
Childhood,  one  son  who  waa  the  second  named  William  about  18  years  of 
age  would  needs  goe  a  Souldier  into  Holland,  in  the  year  1624  at  the 
famous  Seige  of  Breda  when  it  was  taken  by  Spinola  and  Count  Mansfield 
had  an  army  out  of  Enghind,  to  have  raised  the  seige,  but  the  army  mis- 
carryed  and  my  Brother  William  was  never  heard  of  since. 

*  Possibly  George  Deni-on,  who  settled  at  Anni?quam  (Gloucester),  Essex  County,  Mass. 
in  172-5  and  is  said  to  have  come  from  Dublin,  Ireiand,  may  have  been  a  descendant.     (See 
Baldwin  and  Ciit't's  Deniaon  Record,  page  34o). — Ecixoa.

128  21ajor- General  Daniel  Denison.  [April, 

"We  were  now  but  four  Brothers  left  (viz.)  John,  Daniel,  Edv^ard  and 
George.  John  and  myself  were  bred  schollars  at  Cambridcre.  where  I  con- 
tinued till  after  I  had  taken  my  first  Deirree.*  your  Grandfather  mv  fatiier 
though  very  well  seated  in  Stratford,  hearing  ot  the  then  famous  transplan- 
tation to  2sew  England,  unsetled  himself  and  recalling  me  from  C'amurid-^e 
removed  himself  and  family  in  the  year  1631  to  New  England,  and  brou^^ht 
over  with  him  myself  being  about  19  years  of  age.  and  my  two  younger 
Brothers.  Edward,  and  George,  leaving  my  eldest  l?rother  John  behind 
him  in  England,  ^larryed  with  a  good  portion,  who  was  a  minister,  and 
lived  about  Pelham  or  in  Hartford  shier,  not  far  from  Stratford  where  we 
were  born. 

jIv  father  brouirht  with  him  into  New  England  a  very  good  Estate  and 
settled  himself  at  lloksbury.  and  there  Lived  (though  somewhat  weaknino- 
his  Estate)  till  the  year  1053  in  January  when  he  died,  having  buried  mj 
Mother  about  Eight  years  before. 

My  two  brothers  Edward  and  George  (who  were  your  great  uncles)  had 
all  the  E.state  my  father  left  between  them,  being  both  marryed  long  before 
my  father's  death;  my  Brother  George  buried  his  first  Wife  in  the  year 
16-13.  went  into  Ei;gland  was  a  Souldier  tlier  above  a  year,  was  at  the 
Battle  of  York  or  iMarston  Moor,  where  he  did  good  service,  was  afterward 
taken  Prisoner,  but  iiot  free  and  having  Married  a  second  Wife  he  returned 
to  New  Erigland,  tlie  year  l)efore  our  Mother  died,  and  not  long  after  re- 
moved him:5elf  to  New  London  near  whereunto  (viz)  at  Stonini^ton  he  now 
liveth,  having  3  sons  John.  William,  and  George,  4  or  5  Daughters  his 
eldest  son  John  is  marrie<i,  and  hath  Children  which  are  your  Cousens.  and 
3  of  his  Daughters  are  Marryed  to  Stanton,  Palmer,  and  Cheesebrook,  all 
living  at  present  in  the  same  Town. 

My  brother  Edward  (your  great  uncle)  also  was  Married  about  the  same 
time  with  your  uncle  George  about  the  beginning  of  the  year  161'  and 
lived  the  rest  of  his  Days  at  Rocksbury  in  the  same  House  my  father  built 
lived  and  died  in,  he  to  ray  great  fjiief  and  loss  deparfed  this  life  in  April 
in  the  year  166'J,  and  left  behind  hira  but  one  son  William  of  about  5 
years  old  having  buried  four  sons  in  their  infancy,  he  left  also  live  Daughters 
of  which  one  was  married  in  his  lifetime  to  Jachin  lleiuer  who  liveth  at 
Rowley. 

I  was  the  eldest  of  the  3  Brothers  that  were  brought  to  New  England, 
and  the  next  year  after  our  arival  (viz.)  in  the  year  1632,  on  the  IH'^  day 
of  October  on  which  day  twenty  years  before  I  was  Baptized  at  Stratford, 
and  7  years  before  I  was  admitted  into  the  university  of  Cambridire,  I 
Married  your  Grandmother,  who  was  the  second  dau<:hter  of  M''  Tho' 
Dudley,  who  was  a  principal  undertaker  of  this  Plantation  of  the  Massa- 
chusets  and  one  of  those  first  commers  in  the  year  1630  that  brought  over 
the  Patent,  and  setled  the  Government  here  he  came  over  Deputy  Gover- 
nor, and  was  afterwards  diverse  times  Governour,  he  then  lived  at  Cam- 
bridge, removed  lo  Ipswich,  where  he  stayed  but  one  vear,  being  recaled 
again  to  live  in  the  Bay.  which  then  could  not  but  want  his  help,  he  setled 
himse'f  at  Rocksbury,  where  he  lived  until  he  departed  this  life  about  the 
30"^  Day  of  July,  in  the  year  1653  having  buried  your  great  Grandmother

who  left  4  sons  and  o  Daughters  liveincr,  beside  her  daughter  Cotton  who 
died  before  her,  and  left  many  children  then  your  Aunt  Woodbridgt  now 
living  at  Newberry  who  hath  five  sons  and  rive  daughters  living  your 
fathers  Cousen  Germans  as  also  were  your  aunt  Bradstreets  Children,  the 
last  was  your  aunt  Sarah  marryed  to  m'  Keane§  both  dead  long  since,  and 
left  cue  only  daughter  Hannah.  ^Married  to  M''  Paige,  and  is  now  living  at 
Boston  your  great  Grandmother  l)eing  dead  your  sweet  Grandfiither  Dudley 
married  a  second  WifH,j|  and  by  her  had  a  daughter  marryed  to  M""  Jonathan

upon  a  voyage  to  Ireland,  these  were  your  fathers  uncles  by  their  fathers 
sitle. 

For  myself  after  I  n'as  married  to  your  Grandmother  I  lived  about  two 
years  at  Cambridge,  and  in  the  year  iGoo  I  removed  to  Ipswich,  where  I 
have  lived  ever  since  with  your  Grandmother,  we  lived  together  without 
Children  above  7  years  till  the  sixteenth  of  January  being  Thirsday  your 
dear  father  was  born  at  Rucksbury,  whether  your  Grandmother  went  to 
lye  in  at  her  mothers,  and  two  years  and  a  quarter  after  your  aunt  Rogers 
was  born  at  Ipswich,  on  the  10''^  day  of  April  164:2  about  nine  years  after 
your  Grandmother  had  another  Daughter  named  Mary,  who  died  airout  a 
quarter  old,  and  three  years  after  we  had  another  our  last  named  Deborah 
who  died  within  a  fortnight. 

In  the  year  1645  I  was  made  ilajor  of  the  Regiment  of  Essex,  and  in 
the  year  1653  was  Chosen  an  Assistant  or  Magistrate  and  about  a  year 
after  was  made  Major  General  and  continued  so  for  about  7  or  eight  years 
after.

*  The  Hon.  James  Savage,  in  1843  (?ee  Collections  of  the  Massachasetfs  Historical 
Society,  vol.  2S,  page  2i8),  conjectured  that  Thunias  Diivlley,  a  srradiiate  of  Camoridi^e 
(A.B.  1026,  A.M.  WSi).  nii.i^ht  have  been  a  'on  of  Gov.  Thoiiias  Dudley.  It  would  seem 
from  Gen.  Denison's  statements  thjit  Gov.  Dudley  had  no  wife  befoie  D'>rothy,  mid  that 
she  had  only  one  son,  Sanuiel.  If  this  tie  so,  Thomas,  the  graduate,  could  not  have  been 
a  son  of  Gov.  Dudley.  More  than  tliirty  years  ago,  >Ir.  De  in  Dudley  and  mysilf  had 
arrived  at  the  opinion  that  Thomas  was  probabiv  not  the  G^jvernor's  sim.  Our  rea~oi58 
were,  that  neither  a  r-on  Thomas  nor  children  of  Thi>mas  are  mentioned  in  Gov.  Dudley's 
will,  and  that  Mrs.  Bradstreet  says,  in  her  «'|jitaph  on  her  mother,  that  she  "  Of  all  her

130  JSLuj or- General  Daniel  JDenison.  [April, 

ryed  to  M''  John  Rogers*  who  hath  ever  siuce  lived  at  Ipswich,  and  bnth 
now  living-  five  childreu,  your  Couseu  Germans  (viz.):  Elizabeth,  ^lari^ret, 
Jehu,  Daniel  and  Nathaniel,  She  had  auotlier  Daughter  named  also  Elisa- 
beth that  dietl  ahout  a  year  and  quarter  old. 

Your  Dear  father  my  Dear  and  only  son  was  Married  to  your  ^Mother 
who  was  named  M"  3Iartha  Simouds  on  the  2'^  or  o"^  of  february  IGGo,  and 
lived  at  the  farm  at  Ipswich  the  remainder  of  his  days,  being  above  four 
and  twenty  years  of  age  when  he  ^larryed.  and  living  sweetly  and  comfort- 
ably with  your  Mother  near  seven  years,  by  whom  he  had  3  Children  Joha 
the  eldest,  born  the  'I'l'^  of  September  1665,  Martha  born  the  first  of  March 
1668,  and  Daniel  born  the  14'^  day  of  A])ril  1671.  But  about  3  Months 
before  poor  Daniel  was  bora  (viz)  on  the  ninth  of  January  1670  it  pleased 
the  alwise  God  to  take  your  dear  father  my  dear  and  loving  son  to  himself, 
thereby  bereaving  you  and  me  of  our  greatest  comfort  and  support  he  was 
taken  with  a  most  violent  tlux  the  first  of  January  which  held  him  nine 
days,  with  grievous  torment,  which  he  endured  with  admirable  patieuce. 
committing  himself  to  God,  v,  'th  assured  confidence  and  took  his  last  leave 
of  me  who  was  with  him  all  the  time  of  his  sickness  and  of  Iiis  loving  Wife, 
and  of  his  2  Children  John,  and  [Martha,  without  any  Preturbation,  Bless- 
ing his  Children  and  commemling  them  to  God  the  father  Sou  and  Hoiy 
Ghost,  and  Committing  that  which  was  unborn  to  my  care,  at  his  death  he 
was  not  one  and  thirty,  but  wanted  sis  days  and  al)out  15  hours,  so  early- 
had  he  finished  his  Course  and  done  his  work,  and  if  his  work  had  then  to 
have  been  done  (as  he  then  said)  he  had  been  Miserable  but  be  had  lived 
a  Godly  and  examplary  life,  being  a  constant  seeker  of  God.  I  have  heard 
your  iNIother  since  say  he  used  to  pray  five  times  a  Day,  a  Dutiful  Child  a 
loving  husband  and  father,  a  loving  friend  a  good  man  in  all  his  ways,  and 
he  departed  most  Christian  like,  and  comfortably  to  the  unspeakable  grief 
and  loss  of  me  and  all  his  friends,  about  3  months  after  his  death  was  Daniel 
born  at  the  farm  whose  name  his  father  ordered  before  his  death,  desiring 
his  wife  if  she  were  delivered  oi  a  son  it  might  be  called  Daniel,  and  if  a 
daughter  it  should  be  called  Patience,  after  the  name  of  your  Grandmother, 
more  of  your  fathers  sickness  and  gracious  speeches  I  committed  to  Writ- 
ing and  left  them  with  your  Grandmother. 

And  now  dear  Children  though  God  hath  taken  away  your  dear  and 
loving  father,  yet  he  hath  not  left  you  fatherless,  but  according  to  your  dear 
fathers  desire  and  Blessing  Commending  you  to  God  wliom  in  his  sickness 
he  often  called  his  Covenant  God,  Who  is  also  your  Covenant  God  and 
hath  covenanted  with  every  one  of  you  iu  your  Baptism,  he  hath  been  a 
father  to  you  and  mercifully  provided  for  you  and  cared  for  you.  when  you 
could  not  care  for  not  help  your  selves,  as  I  shall  acquaint  you.  And  there- 
fore dear  children  Let  your  chief  care  be  as  you  grow  to  understanding  to 
know  the  God  of  your  fathers,  and  to  serve  him  with  a  perfect  heart  and 
the  Blessing  of  God  will  be  with  you  both  in  life  and  Death,  according  to 
the  blessing  and  Prayers  of  your  dear  father  and  Gi.idly  Ancertors. 

Your  father  had  not  a  present  Estate  Setled  on  him,  but  upon  his  Mar- 
riage with  your  ^lother,  I  ingaged  to  provide  for  him.  and  after  mine  and 
your  Grandmothers  decease  to  give  him  my  Farm  at  Chefbacco]  where  you 
were  all  born  and  also  a  Harm  600  acres  at  Merrimack  liiver,  and  accord-

content  and  satisfaction,  and  what  I  ingaged  to  him  shall  God  willinjj  be 
made  good  to  you  his  Childieii,  after  your  fathers  decease  I  provided  for 
you  and  your  ^Mother  above  one  year,  at  the  ttarm  where  you  all  lived.  But 
it  Pleased  God  so  to  order  that  we  Sliould  be  furtiier  parted.  For  the  be- 
ginning of  April  1G72  your  Mother  having  married  with  M''  Richard  Mar- 
tyue,  went  to  live  with  him  at  Portsmouth,  taking  with  her  two  Children, 
Daniel  who  then  sucked  and  INIartha,  as  I  had  contracted  with  them  before 
that  in  Consideration  of  that  Estate  which  your  father  left  and  your  Mother 
had  and  M''  ^lartine  with  her,  which  was  ueere  oOO£,  They  sliould  bring 
up  two  Children  and  be  bound  to  give  100£  to  ilartha.  when  she  corns  to 
age  or  if  she  ilie  before  to  Daniel  and  his  Heirs,  for  which  I  have  M""  Mar- 
tyns  Bond,  and  for  some  other  Legacies  in  case  your  Mother  dye  before 
him. 

For  John  he  was  to  stay  with  me  and  his  Grandmother,  as  he  was  to 
have  done  had  his  father  lived  to  go  to  School.  Thus  you  are  quartered 
dear  Children  but  yet  through  Gods  goodness  you  are  under  there  care 
that  do  tenderly  love  and  will  carefully  provide  for  you.  for  which  you  will 
have  cause  to  IMess  God,  That  though  you  are  bereaved  of  a  loving  father 
yet  he  hath  not  left  you  desolate. 

Having  given  this  account  of  your  descent  by  the  father  side,  I  shall 
acquaint  you  with  some  of  your  relations  by  your  Mothers  side,  hoping  your 
mother  who  tenderly  loves  you  will  as  she  hath  oppertunity  instruct  you 
not  oidy  in  that  particular  but  in  other  things  of  greater  moment  and 
advantage. 

Your  ^lother  was  the  eldest  daughter  of  ]NP  Samuel  Syraonds,  a  ^Nlagestrfte 
yet  living  in  Ipswich,  by  his  second  wife  who  was  the  Widow  of  one  M' 
Eps,  by  whom  she  had  your  uncle  Eps  living  at  Ipswich,  who  hath  many 
Children  all  your  cousens.  She  had  also  2  daughters  one  Marry ed  to  M' 
Chute,  dead  long  since,  ant^tlier  Marryed  to  M''  Duncan  who  lives  at 
Glocester.  and  hath  many  Children. 

Your  Grandfather  Sy moods  had  a  wife  before,  by  whom  he  had  divers 
Children,  some  dead  and  3  yet  living  one  daughter  ^larryed  to  M'  Eps 
your  uncle  by  your  grandmother  as  his  wife  is  by  your  Grandfather,  also  2 
Sons  Harlackeden  now  in  I^ngland,  and  William  tliat  lives  at  Ipswich. 

Your  Grandfather  had  by  your  Grandmother  one  son.  your  uncle  Sam- 
uel, who  loved  your  father  and  ^Mother,  and  dyed  before  your  father  at  sea 
as  he  was  returning  from  England,  whether  he  went  the  year  before,  he 
was  a  hopeful  young  man,  he  had  also  3  daughters  your  good  mother, 
whose  name  was  Martha,  was  the  eldest,  the  2^  was  Marryed  to  M''  Emer-

to  M'  Baker,  the  same  day  your  mother  was  Marryed  to  M''  3Iartyne,  they

Your  Grandmother  Syraonds  dyed  about  two  years  before  your  IMother

Corwin   all   these   are  your   Mothers  Cousen  Germans,  and  your  Cousens 
and  so  are  their  children.  * 

I  have  done  as  much  as  I  intended  by  which  Dear  Children  vou  m.iy 
perceive  you  nee.l  not  be  ashamed  of  your' progenitors,  who  have  in  njuny 
respects  been  eminent  in* their  times,  it  behoves  you  that  you  take  care  to 
be  imetators  of  their  piety  and  goodness,  and  that  you  doe'  not  degeiierare 
from  those  Roots  from  whence  you  are  sprunge,  in  so  doing  theblessino- 
and  Prayers  of  your  Godly  Ances'tors  will  fall  upon  you,  and'  the  God  of 
your  fatliers  will  be  your  Covenant  God  who  only  is  able  to  bless  you  here 
and  make  you  happy  hereafter,  which  is  and  "hath  been  the  Continual 
Prayer  of  all  your  godly  Ancestors  and  particularlv  of  vour  tender  and 
loving  Grandfather  who  v,-rote  this  the  26=''  Day  of  December  in  the  year 
of  our  Lord  1672,  in  the  sixtieth  and  one  year  of  his  age. 

Daniel  Denison. 
[Notes.— The  foregoing-  confirms  a  guess  I  made  a  couple  of  vears  airo.  that 
the  New  England  family  of  Denison  would  be  found  to  have  belon'-'-ed  to  Bi'^hop's 
Stortford  in  England.  The  wiil  of  John  Gace  of  Stortford.  Herts,  tanner 
(Montague  61,  P.  C.  C),  proved  in  H3O2,  of  which  I  hope  to  sive  a  larger  ab- 
stract one  of  these  days,  mentions  George.  Edward  and  William  Deuison.~'-  chil- 
dren of  my  wife,"  and  Elizabeth  Crouch  --a  daughter  of  mv  wife."  I  paid  a 
flymg  visit  to  Stortford.  and,  with  much  ado.  succeeded  in  getting  a  sight  of 
the  pari.',}!  registers,  from  which  I  took  the  following  extracts  : 

The  xvij  of  March.  1582,  George  Deny.son  son  of  John  baptized. 

George  son  of  William  Denizen  baptized  20  October  MIO. 

George  Denizou  son  of  William  and  Margaret  baptized  10  December  1620. f 

William  Denizen  and  Margaret  :Monck  married  7  November  1603. 

Very  likely  there  were  other  Denison  items  there,  but  these  were  all  that 
caught  my  eye,  in  my  i:er]j  hasty  inspection  at  that  time.— Henry  F.  Water.s. 

The  Records  of  St.  Michael's  Parish  Church,  Bishop's  Stortford.  edited  by 
J.  L.  Glasscock,  Jr..  were  published  in  1882.  Bv  this  book  we  find  that  William 
Dennyson  was  churchwarden  in  1606  (page  lisj  and  George  Deunyson  in  1632, 
1633,  1635,  16-18  and  16-t9  (page  lUj.        ^  '  n  j 

In  the  Churchwarden's  accounts  among  the  receipts  for  the  year  1582  is  '■  of 
John  Denyson  ix  d"  (page  61). 

In  the  Churchwarden's  Book.  1642,  the  name  George  Denuvson  is  entered 
several  times.  Among  the  coUectious  is  found  under  "Water  Lane"  -'Geo 
Dennyson  iiij  d"  (page  146).  Among  the  church  rents  due  March  25,  1642.  is 
"of  Geo.  Dennysou's  house  and  yard  vj  </"  '^page  152).  Under  Ie?se  rents  is 
"  of  Geo.  Denyson  for  the  Stalls  in  the  Barly  Hill  for  a  vere  at  o'  Lady  day  1643 
xj  s"  (page  155). 

The  parish  register  is  not  printed  in  this  volume. 

On  the  20th  of  September,  I8s2,  the  two  hundredth  anniversarv  of  the  death 
of  :\Iaj.  Gen.  Denison  was  commemorated  at  Ipswich,  Mass.  The  proceedings 
on  this  occasion  were  printed  in  a  pamphlet  of  52  pages,  entitled.  •'  The  Denison 
Memorial."  Of  this  pamphlet,  25  pages  are  devoted  to  a  carefully  prepared  and 
very  full  biographical  sketch  of  Maj.  Gen.  Denison,  bv  Dr.  Slade,  now  of  Chest- 
nut Hill,  who  contributes  the  preceding  article  to  the'REGi>TER.  An  historical 
sketch  of  Ipswich  by  the  Rev.  Augu>tine  Caldwell  is  also  printed  tiiere. 
Another  biography  by  Dr.  Slade  appeared  in  the  Register,  vol.  23,  pp.  312-35. 
Gen.  Denison's  will  is  printed  in  the  Register,  vol.  3,  pp.  2?-4.  To  these 
articles  the  reader  is  referred  for  information  not  fonnd  in  the  antobiograpliv.

Feb.  3,  1645-6.  Her  son  states  that  her  maiden  name  was  Chandler.  Mr.  "Waters 
finds  on  the  Bishop's  Stortford  register  (see  above)  the  marriage,  in  1G03,  of 
William  Deuison  to  Margaret  Mottck.  This  "William  Deu!s.ou  is  probably  the 
New  England  emigrant.  The  variation  in  the  surname  of  his  Avife  may  be 
accounted  for  in  tVo  ways :  Mr.  Deuison  may  have  been  married  twice,  or 
Margaret  Monck  may  hare  been  a  widow  in  1603.  William  Deuison,  father 
of  the  general,  died  at  Koxbury,  Jan.  25,  1653— t. 

From  Mr.  Waters's  extracts  "from  the  resrister  of  Bishop's  Stortford.  it  would 
seem  that  the  father  of  William  Denison  and  irrandfather  of  Daniel  was  named 
John.     His  widow  seems  to  have  married  John  Gace. 

"  A  Record  of  the  Descendants  of  Capt.  George  Denison,  of  Stonington, 
Conn.,"  a  brother  of  the  General,  was  published  at  Worcester  in  18S1,  in  an 
octavo  of  424  pages. — (See  Register,  vol.  36,  p.  101.)  The  compilers  were 
Hon.  John  Deuison  Baldwin  and  Hon.  William  Clift. — Editor.]

LETTERS  OF  COL.  THOMAS  WESTBEOOE 
AXD  OTHERS, 

BELATIVE    TO    IXDIA>-    AFFAIRS    IX    MAINE. 

Communicated  by  William  Blake  Trask,  A.M.,  of  Dorchester,  Mass. 

rContiaued  from  page  30.] 

[The  following  is  a  verbatim  copy,  imperfectly  translated,  as  it  would 
appear,  from  the  French,  of  the  letter  of  Governor  Vaudreuil,  to  which  his 
signature,  only,  is  affixed.  It  will  be  noticed,  that  he  speaks  of  Father 
Eale  as  having  been  murdered  by  the  English,  while  doing  his  duty,  the 
priest  proving  ever  faithful  to  his  Prince  in  teaching  the  Indians,  who  were 
always  true  to  the  French  and  their  service.  This  letter  should  be  read  in 
connection  with  that  of  Dummer's  to  the  Canadian  Governor,  written  on 
the  15th  of  September  preceding,  printed  in  the  present  volume  of  the 
Register,  page  26,  as  also,  another,  by  Dummer,  yet  to  come,  dated  19th 
of  January,  1724-5.  The  latter  is  more  directly  in  reply  to  the  letter  of 
Yaudreuil  now  before  us,  in  regard  to  the  Indians,  boundaries  of  lands, 
treaties,  &c. 

There  is  extant,  iu  the  Massachusetts  Archives  (vol.  52,  pages  15,  16)^

1892.]       Letters  of  Col.  Thomas  Westhrooh  and  others.  137 

an  intercepted  letter,  taken  among  Sebastian  Kale's  papers,  at  NorriJge- 
wock,  examined,  and  attested  to  by  Secretary  Joseph.  Willard.  Though 
printed  entire  in  the  Mass.  Hist.  Collections,  2d  series,  vol.  viii.,  page  266, 
it  may  be  of  interest  to  give,  here,  a  partial  synopsis  of  its  contents. 

Rale  states,  that  his  people  made  a  party  of  forty  men  against  the 
English,  "  not  with  a  Design  to  kill,  but  to  put  them  in  mind  of  their 
"Word,  and  to  make  them  draw  otf :  In  one  night  they  ranf^ed  near  ten 
Leagues  of  the  Country  nhere  the  English  had  settled,"  broke  into  their 
houses,  pillaged  and  burned  them,  taking  thence  sixty-four  prisoners. 
Subsequently,  160  warriors  set  out.  '•  I  embarked  with  them,"  he  writes, 
"to  go  to  the  War."  They  attacked  a  village,  consisting  of  54  fair  houses, 
with  five  forts,  two  of  stone,  and  three  of  wood.  The  inhabitants,  "  near 
600  in  number,"  as  he  says,  "besides  women  and  children,"  had  sheltered 
themselves  in  their  stone  forts.  His  party  fell  upon,  and  piHaged  the 
houses,  '•  burned  all  their  Works  of  Wood,  filled  up  their  Wells,  killed 
their  Cattle,  Oxen,  Cows,  horses,  sheep,  swine."  ''  To  pleasure  the  Eng- 
lish," as  he  expresses  himself,  "  I  made  my  appearance,  and  shewed 
myself  to  them  several  times."  "  They  saw  me,"  he  continues  to  say,  "  but 
dare  do  nothing  to  me,  altho'  they  knew  that  the  Governour  had  set  my 
Head  at  a  Thousand  Livres  Sterling.  1  shall  not  part  with  it,  Nevertheless, 
for  all  the  Sterling  money  in  Enghmd." 

The  Indians  went  from  thence  to  Canada,  according  to  Rale,  and  would 
have  carried  him  with  them,  •'  but  I  bid  them  go,"  "  and  about  eight  or  nine 
stays  here  with  me." 

Rale,  in  closing,  feels  perplexed  by  the  fact,  that  the  English  hold  their 
forts,  and  are,  consequently,  masters  of  the  land.  The  Indians  are  not 
able,  alone,  without  the  assistance  of  the  French,  to  cope  with  them,  and 
the  land,  to  the  Indians,  is  lost. 

The  12th  ot  August  (old  style),  1724:,  Father  Rale  was  slain,  and  his 
scalp  was  bro  ght  to  Boston.  The  New  England  Courant,  August  24, 
1724.  says:  —  '-On  Saturday  last  arrived  Capt.  Johnson  Harmon  from  his 
Expedition  ;  gainst  the  Indians  at  Xorridgewock,  and  brought  with  him  28 
Scalps,  one  o-  whii^h  is  Father  Ralle's  their  Priest." 

The  Mass.  Hist.  Coll.,  2d  series,  vol.  viii.  p.  245-249,  contains  a  copy  of 
a  long  letter  from  Father  Rale,  to  one  of  his  order,  name  not  given,  which 
by  a  singular  coincidence,  was  dated  August  2.3,  N.  S.,  12  O.  S.,  1724,  "•  the 
very  day  that  Captain  Harmon  and  his  men  slew  him  and  a  number  of 
Indians.' 

To  shDW  the  changes  proiluced  in  sentiment  and  feeling  a  century  after- 
wards, it  may  be  mentioned,  that  Bishop  Fenwick,  of  Boston,  caused  a 
monument  to  be  erected  to  Father  Rale,  at  xsorridgewock,  which  was 
dedicated  one  hundred  and  nine  years  after  the  massacre,  namely,  August 
23,  1833.  The  inscription,  in  latin,  with  a  view  of  the  monument,  may  be 
seen  in  Allen's  History  of  Xorridgewock,  papes  42,  43.]

lo  his  Prince  in  Teaching  those  ludiens.  to  Whom"  the  kin.^  of  france"  could 
not  refuse  missionaries  <fc  help  'em  in  all  he  Could;  becan^e  they  have  all- 
ways  been  true  to  him  &  served  him  ujxjn  Every  occasion,  or  opportunity, 
that  have  been  made  known  to  ye.  ' 

You  tell  me,  that  you  took  the  opportunity  of  the  Safe  <rard  I  had  ^iven 
to  tather   Ralle,   to  lett  me  know,  for  the  Second  Time,  ^that  the  na'rank- 
sour.e  &  Pauoaramesqiies  ludiens,  were  without  Contradiction  Subiefclts  to 
great  Britain  &  on  their  Lands.     Give  me  Leave  to  tell  ye,  Sir.  that  wha*- 
you   Say   is   not   3Iaintainable.     Don't  you  know,  that  S'  George's  Riv«r 
was  on   1/00  by  order  of  the  Two  Crowns,  mark'd  as  the  bounds  of  the 
±.ng!ish  &  french  Lands;  by  w=^  bounds  it  is  Plainly  Seen,   that  all  the 
IJistrict  of   Penoamesque  was  given  to  us;  &  shews  the  injustice  you  have 
Committed  agamst  the  french,  to  built  as  vou  have  done.  &  without  Leave 
a  tort  on  the  land  of  one  Lefevre;  of  which  enterprise  if  you  don't  desist. 
you  will  mflillibely  repent  ?     Don't  you  know,  that  said  Lefevre  had  an  h-bi- 
tatiou  att  kannoveskail :  that  your  Sloops  &  ours  did  Pay  a  Dutv  to  him  as 
to  the  Propnator  of  that  Land,  Everv  time  thev  Came  to  anchor" there  ?     I 
believe  that  .AP  Capon  (Envoy  of  England  when  kin-  George  Came  upon 
the    Ihroue,   who    Came   here   to  ask  the  Panoamesque  Indians  to  submit 
themselves  to  England)  has  not  impart  to  you  with  the  answer  those  Indien« 
made  to  him,  tho'  they  did  give  him  T^vo  Coppies  of  it  in  Writincr.     Their 
answer  was,   that  they  were   french   trom  the  beginin,  &  in  the  interest  of 
trance;  that  they  were  Surprise  they  made  such  proposition    to  'em;  that 
they  never   would    Change   their   Reiio-on,  king  nor    Interest;    &    were 
oaended  they  would  keep  such  a  Discourse  to  'em,  when  they  knew,  very 
well,  die.r  union  With  france;  of  Which  thev  Look  themselves  as  Children 
&  smyeLcJts.     That  answer  (if  said  Capon  don't  Ly  that  was  to  be  sent  to 
the  king  »k  Parliament  of  England)  will  show  Plainly  S.  the  unreasonables 
ot  your   Pretention   to   those  Indiens.     As  to  those  of  Nara-csouac.  you

they  pretend  you  have  suborned)  that  had  no  authority  to  ^rive  you  that 
deed  for  the  first  fort  build  by  your  order,  upon  Narancsouac  Land  ?  You 
said  to  the  Indiens  that  were  against  it,  or  opposed  it,  that  you  did  not  pre- 
^nd  to  be  master  of  said  forts;  that  they  were  built  only  against  the 
Pirates,  that  may.  otherwise,  take  away  the  goods  you  had  a'miud  to  serd

those  forts,  you  spoke  Very  imperiously.  &  thought  yourselves  able  to  sub-

1892.]     Letters  of  Col.  Thomas  Westbrooh  and  others.  139 

Letter  you  took  about  three  years  ago  att  father  Ralle's  house,  when  you 
plunder  it  a;^ainst  the  Laws  of  meu.  You'll  See  in  that  Letter,  that  the 
Narancsouae  Indians  use  to  Come  Every  year  to  me,  to  Complain  of  your 
New  attempts,  &  that  you  had  a  mind  to  make  'em  turn  of  your  Side 
"Wether  they  Wou'd  or  No,  w*^*"  they  were  resolve  not  to  sutfer. 

You  had  more  need  to  ask  my  advice,  before  you  Invad  their  Lands 
(W'-''^  I  should  never  advic  ye  to)  then  I  to  ask  you  Leave  to  answer  the 
Just  complaints  of  the  Said  Indiens;  that  since  they  Would  not  turn  of 
your  side  it  was  their  Interest  to  Defend  their  land,  &  Drive  out  Those 
that  would  invade  it. 

It  would  have  Loock  very  unsemly  for  me  Sir,  if  for  to  please  you.  I 
had  occasioned  the  said  Indiens  to  turn  from  the  french  (with  whom  they 
have  &  will  Live  Lovingly  togather)  &  sacrilice  them  to  you.  If  I  had  I 
woud  have  made  a  breach  to  the  Last  Treaty  of  Peace,  who  order  us  to 
have  a  Regard  for  the  Indiens,  either  friends  or  ally  to  france  &  do  Noth- 
ing to  molest  'em.  Know  therefore.  Sir,  that  if  I  did  order  father  Ralle  to 
Tarry  among  'em,  it  was  to  Conform  my  Self  to  the  Said  Trety.  Nothing 
Could  attlict  the  said  Indiens  more  then  to  see  their  fatlier.  or  Priest,  taken 
away  from  'em;  whilst  of  an  other  Side,  you  did  Endeavour  to  take  their 
Lands.  You  must  blame  nobody  but  yourselves,  for  all  the  Violence  &; 
hostilitys  those  Indiens  have  committed  against  your  Nation,  Since  you 
are  the  Cause  of  it,  in  invadeing  their  Lauds,  &  presume  to  make  your 
Subje[c]ts  those  People,  that  never  would  Consent  to  be  your  allys:  whom 
being  united  to  france,  have  doclare  themselves  against  your  Nation.  I 
Cannot  help  taking  their  parts  in  this,  to  let  you  know  you  are  in  the 
wrong  to  fall  out  with  'em,  as  you  have. 

You  have  by  that  means,  draw  upon  your  Selves,  a  great  Number  of 
Indiens  from  Every  Side,  whom  to  revenge  the  injustice  done  to  these,  do 
fall  &  will  fall  upon  you  hereafter.  If  you  had  imitate  the  Goveruours  of 
Boston,  your  predecessors.  Contended  your  Selves  To  Trade  with  the 
Abenakis  Indiens  &  had  built  no  forts  on  their  Lands,  all  this  Continent 
would  be  in  peace,  Wherefore  I  think  my  Se'f  oblige  to  represent  to  you 
again,  that  to  Procure  Peace  among  your  selves  is.  the  People  you  have 
Justly  provok'd  by  your  unjust  attempts,  to  Pull  Down  all  the  forts  you 
have  built  upon  their  Land  Since  the  Peace  of  f  treck.  If  so,  I  Premiss 
you  afterwards  to  be  your  Mediator  to  the  Abenakis  Indiens  &.  those  that 
help's  them,  &  oblige  'em,  to  Lay  down  the  hatchet,  if  Can  be  Possible  to 
appeace  'em.  Since  the  Last  Cruelty  &  unjust  attempts  Committed  of  Late, 
against  them  &  their  ^ilissionari.  I  am  not  so  Scare  of  your  treatnings,  to 
see  Nations  that  are,  as  you  Say,  ready  to  fall  upon  us  to  revenge  your 
Cause;  then,  you  ought  to  be.  yourselves,  for  the  fault  you  have  Comitted 
against  france,  in  Endeavouring  to  take  their  allys  from  'em.  I  will  not, 
however,  refuse  ray  mediation  to  you,  to  bring  the  abenakis  Indiens  &  their 
allys,  to  Peace,  on  the  Condition  Expresed  in  this  Letter,  which  are  Con- 
formable to  the  maind  of  these  Indiens,  whom,  betwen  us.  have  gi'ven  ye  no 
Just  Cause  to  Declare  war  to  'em.  As  to  the  Cruelty  Committed  by  your 
order,  on  the  Person  of  Father  Ralle,  I  Leave  to  the  Two  Crowns  to 
Decide  of  the  Justice  (or  punishment)  that  is  to  be  made,  haveing  beea 
oblige  to  give  an  account  of  it  to  the  king  my  Master.

The  Humble  Petition  of  Jonathan  Carey,  of  Boston,  Shipwright, 

Sheweth.  \ 

That  Whereas  your  Pet' in  the  year  1723  being  Obliged  to 
remove  from  a  Small  Dwelling  house  of  his  Situate  in  Augusta,  opposite 
to  the  Island  of  Arowsick.  into  Garrison  there  for  fear  of  the  Indian  Enemy, 
the  Oihcers  and  Soldiers  under  the  Coinand  of  CoP  Thomas  Westbrook, 
by  his  Orders  pulled  down  the  Pet"  s'^  house  in  order  to  make  use  of  the 
Boards  thereof  to  mend  the  Whale  Boats  used  in  His  3Iaiestys  service,  and 
accordingly  they  gave  Receipt  to  your  Pet'  for  Eight  hundred  and  five  feet 
of  boards  made  use  of  by  them  for  that  service.  And  inasmuch  as  your 
Pet"  s*^  House  (v.  herein  there  was  about  Sixteen  hundred  feet  of  Boards 
&  Eleven  hundred  of  Nails  besides  3Iasons  work),  which  was  of  the  value 
of  Twenty  pounds,  at  the  least,  by  moderate  computation)  was  intirely 
destroyed,  and  all  y^  Timbers  &  Boards  carryed  away,  and  made  use  of  by 
the  Officers  &  Soldiers  under  the  s*^  Col'^  Westbrooks  Coiiiand,  (there 
being  then  no  Boards  to  be  had  there)  so  that  what  was  left,  if  any,  was  of 
no  manner  of  use  or  benefit  to  the  Pet'  who  was  all  this  time  absent  and 
intirely  Ignorant  thereof  until  the  same  was  done,  when  he  made  Application 
to  y*  s*^  Col°  Westbrook  for  Recompeuce,  who  referred  him  to  this  Hono'-'"' 
Court  for  Relief  in  y^  premisses. 

Wherefore  the  Pet'  humbly  prays  Inasmuch  as  he  is  a  very  poor  man  & 
has  been  driven  olf  from  his  habitation  by  the  Indian  Enemy  as  afores''.. 
That  this  Great  and  General  Court  would  piease  to  take  y*  premisses  into  * 

y'  serious  &  wise  Consideration  &  Order  him  some  suitable  satisfaction  & 
Recompence  for  the  damage  done  him  by  the  pulling  down  and  Destroving 
his  Dwelling  house  afores'^,  he  being  able  to  make  it  evidently  appear  the 
truth  and  Facts  of  his  Allegations  aforesaid. 

And  as  in  duty  bound  y'  Pet'  shall  ever  jray  &c.

the  connection  has  not  yet  been  established,  yet  it  is  rendered  probable  by

At  the  First  Church,  Boston,  Mary  and  Sarai  of  Sister  Starkie  were 
baptized  29.  9.  1G71. 

April  8,  1674,  .John'  Starkey,  weaver,  of  Boston,  his  wife  Sarah  renoun- 
cing her  ri^jjht  of  dower,  took  a  mortgage  of  laud  at  Maiden,  Mass.,  of 
Dr.  .Samuel  Brackenbury,  •'  physitiau  "  of  Boston.  In  1  675,  this  same  Dr. 
Brackenbury  releases  to  John'  Starkey,  laud  at  Maiden,  togetlier  nith 
"  part  of  a  house  standing  upon  the  land  of  3Iary  Ividgway's  children." 

Oct.  11,  1G75,  John  Ridguay  of  Pemaquid.  Maine,  sells  to  Johu^  Starkey, 
weaver,  his  house  and  land  at  ilystic  Side,  Charlestown. 

John'  Starkey  (with  others)  was  cited  by  the  constable  of  Mystic  Side, 
Charlestown,  Thomas  Lynde,  to  take  the  freeman's  oath,  2.  10.  167-1: 
"These  gersons  appeared  at  court  and  were  sworn  in  lb.  10.  1074," 
Register,  vol.  7,  p.  28,  Nov.  18,  1676,  John  Ridgway,  sen.,  and  Johu  Ridg- 
way,  Jr.  of  Mystic  Side,  in  consideration  of  a  new  frame  of  a  house  and  £6. 
beside,  sell  John  Starkey,  clothier,  of  Maiden,  one  half  a  house  and  two 
acres  of  land,  at  Maiden.  Dec.  25,  1677,  John-^  Starkey  in  a  deposition, 
states  that  he  was  then  -39  years  of  age. 

17.  10.  1670.  Robert  Cawley  sells  three  acres  of  land  to  John-^  Starkey, 
clothier,  of  Maiden. 

The  next  item  of  importance  in  his  history  is  this  petition. 

"  To  his  Excellency.  Edmoncl  Andros,  .John  Starkey's  Pettcon. 

"UTiereas  y^  rctticou'"  being  an  inhabitant  of  New  Harbor  and  liaviug  a  patent

it  might  be  found  convenient,  your  Excellencys  Petticon'  being  much  straiteued 
for  his  cattle  was  fir^t  to  look  out  where  he  could  ilnd  any  marsh  that  Avas  not

one  lying  and  being  at  a  place  called  Coxes  Meadow,  about  six  acres,  ye  other  at 
a  place  called  Pancake  Hill,  about  six  acres,  more  or  less,  the  Avhich  march

In  1689,  eight  inhabitants  of  Pemaquid,  Me.,  on  ]May  11,  petition  govern- 
ment that  Lieutenant  -James  Weems  might  be  left  in  command  of  the  fort 
at  the  Point:  these  were

Alex.  "Woodrop.  Johu*  Starkey 

Prof.  John  Johnson,  in  Popham  Celebration,  p.  284,  states  that  on  Aug. 
2,  1639,  the  Penobscot  Indians,  one  hundred  in  cumher,  headed  by  Moxas, 
landed  at  iS'ew  Harbor,  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  Point  from  tlie  fort. 
There  they  seized  an  Englishman  by  the  name  of  John'  Starkey,  who  was 
alone,  and  compelled  him  to  give  them  information  in  regard  to  the  condition 
of  affairs  at  the  fort.  They  surprised  the  garrison  at  broad  noon  day  ••  no 
scouts  out,"  and  forced  Lieut  Weems  to  surrender:  terms  of  capitulati'n 
were  made,  and  kept,  as,  several  years  later,  Lieut.  Weems,  then  living  in 
New  York,  presents  repeated  petitions  for  pay  due  to  himself  and  to  his 
men  for  their  services  at  the  fort. 

What  John^  .Starkey's  fate  wa«,  we  cannot  learn ;  no  record  has,  as  yet, 
yielded  to  the  long  and  exhaustive  search  that  has  been  made.  Of  his 
family,  it  is  probable  that,  as  his  lands  lay  near  the  fort,  they  were  among 
those  who  were  embarked  "  in  Mr.  Pateshall's  sloop  "  and  were  carried  to

146  The  Starheys  of  New  England.  [April, 

Boston.  That  there  must  have  been  more  than  one,  is  proved  by  Tryall 
Newbury  of  ^Maiden,  claiming,  in  belialf  of  the  heirs  of  John  Starkey,  101 
acres  of  land  lying  within  the  bounds  of  Jamestown,  on  Pemaquid  Xeck. 
beginning  at  a  certain  run  north  of  Richard  Murreu's  house,  v.ith  twenty 
acres  of  meadow,  by  patent  under  Governor  Dungan  to  Richard  Murreu 
dated  13  Sept.  1G86. 

This  land  was  "•  butted."  in  part,  by  that  of  TTilliam  Case.  In  Charlestown, 
Mass.,  records,  we  find  that  William  Case  married  INIary  Starkey.  This 
could  not  have  been  John  Starkey 's  daughter  Mary,  because  she  was  not 
baptized  until  1671. 

The  next  link  in  John  Starkey's  family  line  was  found  in  Bristol  County 
records  at  Taunton,  Mass.  On  Dec.  19,  1716,  Andrew  Starkey  of  Attle- 
borough,  Mass.,  sold  to  James  White,  also  of  Attleborough,  '•  all  laud  at 
Pemaquid,  adjoining  a  place  called  New  Harbor,  in  the  eastward  parts  of 
New  England,  10-4  acres,  with  20  acres  of  meadow,  lately  "belonging  to  my 
honored  father  John  Starkey,  deceased." 

2.  Andrew'  Starkey   (John^)  was,  according  to  Mr.  D.  P.  Corey's 

Genealogy  of  the  Waite  Family  [N.  E.  H.  G.  Register,  April,

REV.    STEPHEN   BACHTLER. 

By  the  Hon.  Chahles  E.  Batchelder,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

[Continued  from  page  64.] 

At  the  very  beginniug  of  1632  Mr.  Bacbiler  left  England  for  Boston  in 
New  England.  He  sailed  on  the  9th  of  March,  1631-2,  in  the  vessel 
called  the  William  and  Francis,  from  London,  with  sixty  passengers,  and 
after  eighty-eight  dreary  days  landed  at  Boston.  Among  his  fellow  travel- 
lers were  Gov.  Edward  Winslow  of  Plymouth,  Rev.  Thomas  James,  Rev. 
Thomas  Welde  and  Thomas  Oliver  the  famous  ruling  elder  "of  Boston.  On 
the  Whale,  v.hich  arrived  May  2d,  1632,  came  Mr.  Wilson  and  Mr.  Richard 
Dummer.  Most  of  the  Dummers  resided  at  South  Stoneham  or  Swathliucr, 
where  the  ancient  church  bears  several  Dummer  memorials,  and  this  was 
the  last  residence  of  Stephen  Bachiler  in  England.  A  rehnionship  existed 
between  the  Bachilers  and  the  Dummers  which  cannot  yet  be  traced.* 

These  two  ships,  the  William  and  Francis  and  the  Whale,  were  sent  out 
by  "  the  Company  of  husbandmen,"  sometimes  called  "  the  Company  of 
Loudon"  or  "  the  Company  of  the  Plough,"  of  which  company  Stephen 
Bachiler  was  an  active  and  zealous  member  and  was  chosen  their  pastor  in 
1629  or  1630.t  The  energy  and  zeal  with  which  he  labored  to  increase 
the  society  and  assist  as  many  emigrants  as  possible  to  come  to  New  Eng- 
land, is  well  set  forth  in  a  letter  of  John  Dye  and  others  to  Mr.  Crispe,  and 
those  members  of  the  Plough  Company,  then  in  New  England,  dated 
London,  8  March.  1631-2,  and  evidently  brought  in  the  William  and 
Francis  or  the  Whale.J  Mr.  Bachiler  "  adventured  "  £100  in  the  Company 
anu  loaned  them  £37,  of  which  amount  £9  was  repaid  by  the  freight  money 
on  his  goods.  Among  the  articles  he  brought  over  were  four  hogsheads  of 
pcxs,  twelve  yards  of  cloth,  two  hundred  yards  of  list,  a  contribution  box 
and  oaken  furniture,  which  has  lasted  until  this  day.  Most  of  the  early 
settlers  of  New  England  were  young,  or  not  past  their  prime  when  they 
came  to  America.  Mr,  Bachiler  was  seventy-one  when  he  landed,  and  yet 
for  a  score  of  years  thereafter  he  retained  his  vigor  and  for  a  decade  he 
most  obstinately  contended  against  iMassachusetts  li:\y  in  behalf  of  New 
Hampshire. 

He  had  planned  in  England  to  settle  at  Newtown  (now  Cambridge),  but 
owing  to  the  disaster  which  befell  the  Plough  Company  in  1631,  and  having 
received  a  call  from  Lynn,  Mass.,  then  called  Sagus,  he  proceeded  to  the 
place  last  named,  where  his  daughter,  Theodate,  wife  of  Christopher  Hussey, 
resided.  He  commenced  the  exercise  of  his  public  ministrations  on  Sun- 
day, June  8th,  1632,  without  installation,  having  formed  a  church  of  those 
who  desired  to  join  the  six  or  seven  persons  he  brought  with  him,  who 
are  said  to  have  been  members  of  the  church  with  him  in  England. 
The  first  meeting-house  in  Lynn  was  a  small,  plain  building,  without  bell  or 
steeple,  and  stood  on  the  northeastern  corner  of  Shepard  and  Summer 
Streets.     It  was  placed  in  a  small  hollow,  that  it  might  be  better  sheltered

158  Hev.  Stephen  Bachiler.  [April, 

from  the  winds,  and   was   partly  sunk  in  the  earth.     It  was  entered  by 
descending  several  steps.* 

On  the  first  Sunday  at  Lynn,  four  children  were  baptized.  Thomas 
Newhall,  the  first  white  child  born  in  Lynn,  was  first  presented.  Mr. 
Bachiler  put  him  aside,  saying  "  I  will  baptize  my  own  child  first,"  meaninor 
Stephen  Hussey,  his  daughter's  child,  born  the  same  week  as  Thomas 
Newhall. 

Before  Mr.  Bachiler  had  been  preaching  four  months  at  Lynn,  he  fell 
tinder  "suspicion  ''  of  having  independent  ideas,  which  he  was  not  ready  to 
yield  at  the  dictation  of  others. 

Thereupon  the  General  Court  passed  the  following  order. 

"  Octob''  3,  16o2,  Mr.  BatcheF  is  required  to  forbeare  exercising  his  guifts 
as  a  past"  or  teacher  publiquely  in  o'  pattent,  unless  it  be  to  those  hee 
brought  with  him,  for  his  contempt  of  authority,  &  till  some  scandles  be 
removed. "t 

The  word  "  scandals  "  was  ordinarily  used  in  our  early  history  to  denote 
some  religious  irregularity.  It  was  "scandalous"  to  conduct  worship  in 
any  way  not  approved  by  the  rulers.  It  had  acquired  that  meaning  in 
England  before  the  emigration.! 

It  does  not  appear  how  far  this  order  was  obeyed.  It  will  be  noticed 
that  Mr.  Bachiler  was  left  free  to  preach  to  those  he  brought  over,  and  no 
doubt  he  continued  his  ministrations.  At  all  events  after  five  months  this 
prohibition  was  removed  and  he  was  left  free  to  gather  a  church  in  3Iassa- 
chusetts  Bay.  He  was  also  present  at  conferences  of  the  miniscers  of  the 
colony,  8ept.  17,  163o,  and  Dec.  19,  1C34,  the  first  meeting  having  been 
called  to  consider  the  settlement  of  Mr.  Cotton,  and  the  other  to  consult 
what  ought  to  be  done  if  a  general  governor  should  be  sent  out  of  En^-Iaud, 
and  whether  it  be  lawful  to  carry  the  cross  in  their  baimers.§  Ou  the  loth 
of  March,  1635,  "  two  of  the  elders  of  every  cliurch  met  at  Sagus,  and 
spent  there  three  days.  The  occasion  was,  that  divers  of  the  brethren  of 
that  church,  not  liking  the  proceedings  of  the  pastOx-,  and  withal  making  a 
question,  whether  they  were  a  church  or  not,  did  separate  from  church 
communion.  The  pastor  and  other  brethren  desired  the  advice  and  help  of 
the  rest  of  the  churches,  who,  not  thinking  fit  to  judge  the  cause,  without 
hearing  the  other  side,  offered  to  meet  at  Sagus  about  it.  Upon  this  the 
pastor,  etc.,  required  the  separate  members  to  deliver  their  grievances  in 
writing,  which  tliey  refusing  to  do,  the  pastor,  etc.,  wrote  to  all  the  churches. 
that,  for  this  cause,  they  were  purposed  to  proceed  against  them  as  persons 
excommunicated;  and  therefore  desired  them  to  stay  their  journev,  etc. 
This  letter  being  read  at  a  lecture  at  Boston  (where  some  of  the  elders  of 
every  church  were  present),  they  all  agreed  (with  consent  of  their  cliurches) 
to  go  presently  to  Sagus,  to  stay  this  hasty  proceeding,  etc.  Accordingly, 
being  met,  and  both  parties  (after  much  debate)  being  heard,  it  was  agreed 
that  they  were  a  true  church,  though  not  constituted,  at  first,  in  due  order, 
yet  after  consent  and  practise  of  a  church  estate,  had  supplied  that  defect; 
and  so  all  were  reconciled.  j| 

He  was  admitted  a  freeman  May  6,  1635.      It  seems  quite  probable  that 
he  was  the  minister  who  dissented  from  the  order  of  banishment  of  Roger

1892.]  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler.  159 

Williams  in  October,  163o*  as  his  opinions  are  known  to  have  aorreed 
closely  with  those  of  Williams,  and  no  minister  of  the  twelve  churches 
then  established  possessed  his  courage  in  maintoining  unpopular  opinions. 
It  is  to  be  considered  also  that  he  had  previously  been  disciplined  for 
departure  from  the  established  customs,  and  within  three  months  was 
again  in  trouble  from  the  same  cause.  In  January,  163o-G,  says  Win- 
throp,  "  Mr.  Batcheller  of  Sagus  was  convented  before  the  magistrates. 
The  cause  was,  for  that,  coming  cut  of  England  with  a  small  body  of 
six  or  seven  persons,  and  having  since  received  in  many  more  at  Sagns. 
and  contention  growing  between  him  and  the  greatest  part  of  his  church 
(who  had,  with  the  rest,  received  him  for  their  pastor),  he  desired  dis- 
mission for  himself  and  his  first  members,  which  being  granted,  upon  suf>- 
position  that  he  w^  nld  leave  the  town  (as  he  had  given  out),  he  with 
the  said  six  or  seven  persons  presently  renewed  their  old  covenant,  in- 
tending to  raise  another  church  in  Sagus;  whereat  the  most  and  chief  of 
the  town  being  offended,  for  that  it  would  cross  their  intentions  of  calling 
Mr.  Peter  or  some  other  minister,  they  complained  to  the  magistrates,  who, 
forseeing  the  distraction  which  was  like  to  come  by  this  course,  had  for- 
bidden him  to  proceed  in  any  such  church  way  until  the  cause  were 
considered  by  the  other  ministers,  etc.  But  he  refused  to  desist.  Where- 
upon they  sent  for  him,  and  upon  his  delay,  day  after  day,  the  marshal  was 
sent  to  fetch  him.t  Upon  his  appearance  and  submission  and  promise  to 
remove  out  of  the  town  within  three  months  he  was  discharged. "t  Peter 
however  refused  to  settle  at  Lynn,  preferring  Salem. 

These  distractions  in  the  Sagus  church  continued  until  Christmas,  1635, 
when  a  general  fast  was  proclaimed,  for  that  cause  and  others  and  presum- 
ably continued  until  February,  1636,  when  Bachiler  left  Lynn  and  went 
to  Ipswich,  where  he  received  a  grant  of  fifty  acres  of  land  and  a  prospect 
of  settlement,  but  from  some  reason,  not  yet  explained,  the  plan  miscarried. 
It  was  about  this  time,  on  the  17th  of  April,  1G37,  that  Rev.  R.  Stansby 
writes  Rev.  John  Wilson  from  England  that  he  is  grieved  that  "  Others 
laye  downe  the  ministry  and  become  private  members,  as  Mr.  Bacheler. 
Mr.  Jenner,  and  Mr.  IS'athan  Ward,  &c."  He  adds  that  this  fact  and 
others  of  like  nature  were  now  much  talked  about,  and  that  many  worthy 
people  were  prevented  from  emigrating  to  New  England  for  these  reasons, 
and  suggests  that  greater  liberty  be  granted  in  the  admission  of  members 
to  the  church."§ 

Under  Mo.  1,  1637-8  Winthrop  says,  "Another  plantation  was  now  in 
hand  at  ^lattakeese  (now  Yarmouth),  six  miles  beyond  Sandwich.  The 
undertaker  of  this  was  one  Mr.  Batchellor,  late  pastor  at  Sagus  (since 
called  Lynn),  being  about  seventy-six  years  of  age;  yet  he  walked  thither 
on  foot  in  a  very  hard  season.  He  and  his  company,  being  ail  poor  men, 
finding  the  diliiculty,  gave  it  over,  and  others  undertook  it."f| 

The  inducement  which  led  him  to  attempt  a  settlement  at  Yarmouth 
was  undoubtedly  the  fact  that  in  1637  a  large  number  of  his  former  parish- 
ioners removed  from  Lynn  and  commenced  a  settlement  at  Sandwich,  near 
Yarmouth,  under  a  grant  from  Plymouth  Colony.*!!    Bachilers  settlement  is

160  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler,  [April, 

said  to  have  been  made  in  that  part  of  Barnstable  (then  Yarmouth)'  called 
Old  Town,  and  was  about  one  hundred  miles  from  Ipswich  where  he  resided. 
His  next  removal  was  to  Newbury,  where,  on  the  Cth  of  July,  1638.  the 
town  made  him  a  grant  of  land,  and  on  the  7th  of  October,  1638,  the 
General  Court  of  Massachusetts,  in  order  to  be  rid  of  a  troublesome  pastor 
and  also  to  strengthen  their  claim  to  the  territory  more  than  three  miles 
north  of  the  Merrimac,  granted  3Ir.  Stephen  Bachiler  and  his  company, 
who  had  petitioned  therefor,  liberty  to  begin  a  plantation  at  Winnicunnet,  { 

now  called   Hampton,  N.  H.     On  Tuesday,   October  16,  1638,  the  settle-  i 

ment  was  begun,  the  journey  from  Newbury  being  made  in  a  shallop.     On  I 

the  7th  of  June,  1639,    Winnicunnet   was  made  a  town,  and  further   about  | 

the  same  time  the  said  plantation  (u[)on  3Ir.  Bachiler's  request  made  known  I 

to  the  court)  was  named  Hampton.*     This  name  was  most  probably  si -en  ] 

in  honor  of  Hampton,  thai  is,  Southampton,   in   England.     The  addition  ' 

"  South  "  was  a  late  addition  to  distinguish  this  town  from  Hampton  in 
Mercia.  Winthrop  in  his  History  of  New  England  repeatedly  refers  to 
Southacapton  as  Hampton. f  Ic  will  also  be  remembered  that  South  Stone- 
ham,  adjoining  Southampton,  and  in  the  gift  of  St.  i\Iary's  of  Southampton, 
was  the  last  residence  of  Mr.  Bachiler  in  England.  In  1639  the  inhabihints 
of  Ipswich   voted   to  give  Mr.  Bachiler  sixty  acres  of  upland  and  twenty  • 

acres  of  meadow,  if  he  would  reside  with  them  three  years.     He  preferred  ; 

his  settlement  at  Hampton.     On  the  5th  of  July.  1639,  he  and  Christopher  ; 

Hussey   sold  their  houses   and   lands  in  Newbury  for   "  six  score  pounds,''  \ 

and  thereafter  his  entire  interest  was  with  the  Hampton  settlement.     The  ^ 

town  in  1639  granted  their  pastor  three  hundred  acres  of  laud  for  a  farm 
besides  his  house  lot,  and  he  gave  them  a  bell  for  the  meeting  house.  Thi& 
bell   remained   in   use  until   about   February  15,  1703-4,   when  the   town  • 

voted  that  the  selectmen  should  agree  with  William  Partridge  Esq.,  to  pro-  ' 

cure  the  town  a  good  one  from  England  of  about  one  himdred  and  tbirtie 
weight  and  that  they  send  to  him  the  ould  bell  that  is  splitt  to  make  of 
that  what  the  sd  Mr.  Partridg  can  towards  the  paying  for  a  new  one.j 
The_  farm  was  laid  out  to  him  in  the  ext  eme  southern  limits  of  Hampton 
adjoining  Salisbury.  In  the  Hampton  record  book  containing  the  grants 
in  the  year  1644  and  1653,  copied  according  to  the  town  vote,  concerning 
the  copying  of  grants  with  witnesses,  if  necessary,  is  the  following : 

To  Steven  Bachiler  sometimes  of  Hampton.  : 

1.  Inpr.  nine  acres  oi  half  of  upland  granted  unto  him,  for  a  house  lott :—  ;

Strawberry  Bank,  east  by  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  south  by  Salisbury  and  west 
by  the  Wilderness."*  Nine  entire  towns  and  parts  of  two  towns  have  since 
been  set  off  or  established  from  territory  then  belonging  to  Hampton.

LEE   OF  VIRGIXIA. 

By  J.  Henbt  Lea,  Esq.,  Cedarhurst,  Fairhaven,  Mass. 
[Concluded  from  page  78.1 

The  Registers  of  West  Ham,  in  which  parish  Stratford-Langton  was 
situated,  having  most  unfortunately  [lerished  previous  to  1G53,  it  seemed 
possible  that  something  might  be  gleaned  from  the  adjacent  parish  of  Stepney, 
and  there  seemed  the  more  reason  for  this  hope  as  the  grandson  of  Col. 
Richard  Lee,  Isaac  Lee  of  Virginia,  died  there  in  1727, f  which  would 
suggest  some  previous  coimectiou  of  the  family  with  this  place. 

Two  laborious  days  were  passed  in  tlie  examination  of  the  very  volumin- 
ous Records  of  this  large  parish,  in  which  time  the  writer  searched  the 
Baptisms  and  ^larriages  from  their  beginning  in  1568  to  16')9,  and  the  Bap- 
tisms alone  to  1638,  but  without  tangible  result,  and  the  search  was  accord- 
ingly abandoned  at  this  point. t  A  signiticant  fact,  however,  may  be  noted 
in  the  frequent  occurrence  of  the  well  known  Virginia  names  of  Bland, 
Fairfax  and  Lightfoot,  while  that  of  Hancock  is  not  infrequent.  The  names 
of  Fulk  and  Gilbert  Lee  are  also  suggestive,  these  being  both  charucieristic 
family  names  in  the  Shropshire  line,  and  it  is  also  noteworthy  that  Sir 
John  Lee,  Knt.,  of  Stepney,  was  grandson  of  Humphrey  Lee  of  Bridgnorth 
in  Salop,§  another  of  the  names  so  identified  with  the  Lees  of  Langley, 
although  the  arms  of  this  family  are  totally  different  from  the  latter. ||

The  writer's  intention  had  been  to  print  the  results  of  the'  Stepney 
search  in  full,  but  in  view  of  the  extreme  improbability  of  the  connection 
of  most  of  the  many  Lees  found  there  with  the  family  in  question,  he  has 
decided  to  give  only  the  few  extracts  which  follow.

•  Mr.  John  Lee,  aflenmrd  Sir  John  Lpe,  Knt.,  was  Churchwarden  of  this  parish  in  1612 
and  many  subsequent  years.  He  resideLi  in  ^V"liitehorse  street,  and  was  the  third  of  three 
distin^'uished  brothers,  sons  of  Sir  Robert  Lee.  Knt.,  Mayor  of  London,  1602-3,  all  of 
whom  were  knighted  for  their  public  servi'jcs.  He  was  knighted  before  161G  (22  Jan. 
1615-6  at  Theobald's  Inn,  London,  see  Metcalfs  Book  of  Knight-;,  p.  166),  his  name  as 
a  knight  occurring  in  the  list  of  Churchwardens  of  that  year.  In  161S  he  was  made  Keeper 
of  the  Ordinance  Stoies  at  the  Tower.  He  married  hr.-t  to  Sarah  Woodward,  who  died  in 
162-5  and  Was  barted  at  Srepney,  December  27t.'i  of  tliat  year;  and  second  to  Joan  Lott.

consent  being  attested  by  her  brother  Robert  Lee,  allegation  dated  8  June,  1635,  and  in 
which  she  is  called  20  years  of  age — an  evident  error.    (Harl.  Soc.  xxvi.  222.)

Pro.  by  Robridge,  relict  &  Extrx  named  in  will,  li  July  1614. 

Com.  Ct.  Loud.,  Vol.  22,  fo.  34L 

The  following  will  was  only  found  after  the  preceding  MS.  had  been  sent 
to  the  printer,  and,  with  the  Admons  which  accompany  it,  gives  room  for 
much  speculation. 

We  have  here  still  another  Lee  connected  with  Stratford  Langton  in  the 
first  half  of  the  17th  century  and,  from  what  we  now  know  of  Col.  Richard 
Lee's  connect'oa  with  the  Lees  of  Salop,  we  cannoi  doubt  that  this 
Hum.phrey  was  his  near  kinsman.  That  he  was  the  so  long  sought  father 
is  very  improbable,  as  Richard  is  not  named  in  his  will,  but  he  may  well 
have  been  a  brother  or,  more  probably,  an  uncle  of  the  emigrant.  The 
name  of  Humphrey  is  common  to  all  branches  of  the  Shropshire  family, 
but  that  of  Walter  seems  to  point  to  that  branch  which  became  extinct  in 
England  with  the  death  of  Sir  Richard  Lee,  Bart.,  of  Langley  and  Acton 
Buruell  in  April,  16G0.f 

The  connection  of  Humfrie  Lee  with  the  parish  of  St.  Olaves  in  South- 
wark  is  also  noteworthy,  as  this  was  the  residence  of  yet  another  of  the 
Salop  family,  i.  e.  that  Richard  Lee  who  married  Elizabeth  Langdon  and 
who  was  so  absurdly  identified  with  Col.  Richard, i  with  even  less  rhyme 
or  reason  than  was  shown  in  the  attempt  to  affiliate  him  with  the  Quarreu- 
don  Family  in  the  person  of  Sir  Robert  Lee's  deceased  infant  son  Richard. § 
Still  another  brother  of  the  first  named  Richard  is  known  to  have  resided 
in  St.  Olaves,  i.  e.  Thomas  Lee,  draper,  who  was  deceased  in  1681,  leaving 
issue,  as  we  know  by  reference  in  will  of  his  brother,  Lancelot  Lee,  Citizen 
&  Fishmonger  of  London  (l^y  Company,  but  draper  by  trade). || 

The  Admon.  of  Edward  Lockey  is  also  most  interesting,  as  showing  one 
of  the  Lockey  family  (perhaps  a  brother  of  that  John  Lockey  who  was 
Executor  of  Col.  Richard's  will,  but,  most  unfortunately,  the  Lockey  family 
seem  to  have  had  an  unbusiness-like  habit  of  dying  intestate,  so  that  we 
have  no  light  on  the  connection  between  them,)  as  settled  in  Virgfinia  and 
as  dying  in  the  pariah  of  St.  Catherine  Creechurch  in  Loudon.  Comparison 
of  the  pedigree  of  the  family  of  George  Lee  of  this  parish  and  their  known 
connection  with  Stratford  Langton  and  St.  Catherine's  will  at  once  show  the 
great  importance  of  this  reference.

In  conclusion,  the  follov\'iug  will  is  interesting  as  showing  a  member  of 
the  Shropshire  family  (this  Gilbert  was  the  sou  of  John  and  Joyce  (Rom- 
ney)  Lee  of  Coton  &  Nordley  Regis)  as  resident  at  Tolleshunt  Darcy  in 
Essex,  a  few  miles  to  the  North  East  of  Stratford  Langton,  in  the  early 
part  of  the  17th  century.  To  requests  for  permission  to  examine  the 
Registers  of  this  parish,  which  date  from  1560,  no  answer  has  as  yet  been 
obtained. 

1621.— Will  of  Gilbert  Lee  of  Tolson  Dareye,  co  Essex,  Esq;  Dat.  4 
July  1621;  Pro.  12  Oct  1G21;  Names  nephew  John  Lee,  gent;  wife 
Elizabeth  Lee;  friends  William  Herbert,  Esq..  John  Gough.  gent,  &; 
Xpofer  Awbrey,  gent.;  brothers  Richard  Lee  &  Josias  Lee.  gent;  wife's 
dau  Susan  Pigott ;  nephew  John  Lee  Executor ;  Wit.  Chr :  Awbrey, 
George  Shorte^&  Cardin  liantres.  P.  C.  C.  Dale,  84. 

This  completes  the  evidence  now  in  hand,  but  it  is  the  writer's  intention 
to  devote  his  earliest  leisure  to  the  careful  study  of  the  pedigree  of  the 
English  family,  of  which  he  has  now  probably  the  most  perfect  &  fully 
corrected  copy  in  existeuce,  and  by  following  out  each  of  the  cadet  branches 
of  this  he  hopes  to  attain  that  success  which  has  so  far  failed  to  crown  his 
efforts  in  working  backward  from  the  Emigrant. 

A  thorough  search  of  the  Parish  Registers  of  St.  Catherine  Creechurch, 
St.  Olaves  Southwark,  St.  Giles-in-the-Fields,  and  perhaps  others,  as  well 
as  an  exhaustive  search  of  the  Gloucester  and  Worcester  Probate  Courts, 
would  seem  to  be  the  next  step  involved  in  the  clearing  up  of  the 
mystery  which  still  shrouds  the  parentage  of  the  Virginian  Emigrant,  but 
the  labor  and  expense  attendant  on  such  a  search  would  bo  so  great  that  it 
is  probable  that  none  but  a  member  of  the  family  actually  interested  would 
care  to  undertake  it.  The  writer  has  already  devoted  much  time  that  he 
could  ill  aliord  to  waste  on  this  work,  but  is  well  rewarded  by  tlie  thought 
that  he  has  done  something  towards  clearing  the  history  of  a  gentle  and 
honorable  family  from  the  cloud  of  doubt  thrown  over  its  origin  by  the 
inconsiderate  zeal  of  those  who  have  hap-hazarded  so  wildly  on  the  subject. 


Since  the  publication  of  the  earlier  pa^es  of  this,  the  writer  is  in  receipt  of 
several  letters  from  members  of  the  family  and  others  eudorsmg  and  accepting 
the  concUisious  readied;  one  of  whicli  contains  tlie  foliowins  inscriptions  and 
letter,  the  latter  an  answer  to  the  letter  already  printed  (Mead's  Lee  Family,  p. 
65)  from  William  Lee.  Esq.,  of  London,  to  Dr.  Harry  Lee  of  Winchester  Colleije, 
and  which  2:i\  es  additional  weight  to  the  statement  made  (see  p.  65)  of  the 
relationship  claimed  and  allowed  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic. 

This  Monument  was  erected  to  the  memory  of  the  Honourable  Col*' 
Thomas  Lee  (Commander  in  Chief  &  President  of  his  Majesties  Council 
for  this  Colony,  descended  from  the  very  ancient  &  Honourable  Family  of

Sir 

I  return  you  Thanks  for  your  civil  &  polite  Letter  &  likewise  my 
good  Friend  M''  Batson  for  making  me  known  to  you.     1  wish  it  was  iu  my  = 

Power  to  give  you   that  Intelligence  which   you  so  earnestly  desire  of  y^  j 

Genealogy  of  our  Family.     The  Pedigree  which  my  Father   left  behind  | 

him,  is  now  iu  the  Possession  of  my  elder  Brother  which,  to  the  best  of  my  | 

Remembrance  traces  our  Family  from  the  Saxon  Government.     As  He  is  | 

abroad,  I  cannot  procure  it  from  him,  but  I  have  sent  to  another  Relation,  \ 

who  I  believe  has  a  Copy  of  it.     As  to  myself,  being  a  younger  Brother,  1  j 

never  made  a  deep  Enquiry  into  the  Origin  of  our  Family.     As  far  as  my  I 

Knowledge  extends  I  will  reveal  to  you.     My  Grandfather  Tho:  Lee  who  i 

was  a  Barrister  of  Law  Liucolns  Inn   married  a  Daughter  of  John  Eldred  5 

of  Great  Saxham  iu  Xortolk,  from  which  Alliance  I'm  related  to  \Villiam  | 

of  "Wykeham.     He  left  several  children,  the  eldest  was  my  Father — anotlier  | 

Son  who  settl'd  in  Wiltshire  &  has  lefc    Children  beliind  him.     The  Thii-d  I

Wiltshire  is  a  young  iNIan  iu  the  Army.     He  has  two  Brothers  &  several  : 

Sisters.     The  Second  is  a  Linen  Draper  in  London,  &  the  youngest  is  now  { 

at  School  here  &  upon  the  Foundation,  as  a  Founder  kinsman.  He  is  one 
of  the  Senior  Boys  of  the   School,  &  I  hope  will  soon  succeed  to  New  \ 

College  m  Oxford.     My  own  Family  are  numerous  One  Brother  &  Seven  j 

Sisters   who   are   married  &  dispers'd.     As  soon  as  I  can   get   a  perfect  | 

Account  of  our  Family  you  shall  hear  from  me.     In  the  mean  Time,  if  you  f 

shou'd  have  a  Desire  of  seeing  your  young  Relation  whom  you  have  been  | 

so  kind  as  to  send   to    Winchester  School,  you  will  make  my  Wife  &  Me  I 

extremely  happy  by  favouring  us  with  your  Company.     You  may  depend  { 

upon  it,  I  shall  not  fail  paying   my    Respects  to  you  the  first  Time  I  go  to  ( 

London.     3Iy  Brothers  Wife  is   now  with  me,  she  leaves  me  Friday  next  [ 

in  order  to  go  to  her  Husband.     He  i^ives  but   a   very  indifferent  Account  I 

of  himself  in  his  Letters.     I  shall   desire  my  Sister  to  communicate  tho  I

first  Year  of  his  Majesty's  Reign, 

Barthsheba  Roach  of  Boston  was  convicted  before  me,  One  of  His 
Majesty's  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  the  County  of  Suifolk,  of  uttering  one 
profane  Curse. 

Given  under  my  Hand  and  Seal,  the  Day  and  Year  aforesaid  at  Boston.

There  is  another  manuscript  also  in  the  possession  of  JSIr.  Grew, 
too  long  for  me  to  copy,  of  which  I  took  a  brief  memorandum. 
"Jonathan  Wade's  Answers  to  Major  Gen^  Daniel  Gookin's  reasons 
of  Appeale  from  the  Judgement  of  the  County  Court  at  Charleston 
held  Dec""  1682."  Three  and  a  half  folio  pages.  This  refers  inci- 
dentally to  a  previous  judgment  of  the  case  in  1677  or  1678.  At 
the  present  time  (August,  1891),  my  recollection  is,  this  case  was 
about  a  negro  slave  of  Daniel  Gookin's. 


PRATT  AND  TRERICE. 

By  William  S.  Appleton,  A.M.,  of  Boston,  Mass. 

I  cOM^ruNiCATED  to  the  Register  for  January,  18G4,  a  short 
paper  with  this  title,  to  which  I  wish  now  to  add  a  few  facts.  As 
to  Abraham  Pratt,  it  is  only  to  put  on  record  that  the  late  Rev. 
Henry  M.  Dexter  found  at  Amsterdam  his  marriage  to  Jane  Charter, 
14  April,  1612,  he  from  London,  she  from  Salisbury.  (Proceed- 
ings Mass.  Hist.  Soc.  for  June,  1890.)  As  to  Nicholas  Trerice,  I 
have  tried  to  bring  together  every  genealogical  item,  in  the  hope  of 
learning  if  the  family  is  now  extant  or  extinct. 

1.  Nicholas'  Tp.erice,  undoubtedly  of  Cornish  origin,  was  admitted  an 
inhabitant  of  Charlestowu  in  163G;  had  wife  Rebecca;  was  Captain 
of  the  "  Planter,"  which  brought  many  immi2;raiits  to  New  Eng- 
land;   died  in   lGo2;    she   married    secondly,    G    December,    16G5,

EXTRACTS  FROM  LETTERS  OF  WILLIAM  ROTCH. 

Communicated  by  the  late  Frederick  C.  Sanford,  Esq.,  of  Nantucket,  Mass. 

An  autobiography  of  William  Rotch  of  New  Bedford,  Mass., 
was  printed  in  the  Register  (vol.  31,  pp.  '2Q2-4:;  vol.  32,  pp. 
36-42,  1.51-5,  271-4,  and  389-94).  Articles  from  the  appendix 
to  the  manuscript  were  printed  in  vol.  33,  pp.  305-7,  and  vol.  34, 
pp.  304-8.  The  following  extracts  from  Mr.  Rotch's  letters  are 
also  from  the  appendix.

doubt  not  has  ere  now  reached  America)  has  had  so  powerful  an  effect  ou 
our  family  (servants  excepted)  if  on  the  principles  of  humanity  only,  as  to 
cause  us  wholly  to  renounce  that  luxury  (sugar  of  W.  Indies).  It  is  true 
the  coffee  and  tea,  apple  pies  and  puddin<x  went  down  not  quite  so  easy, 
but  on  my  part  with  no  reluctance,  the  object  considered. 

We  have  just  got  1 C.  of  E.  India  sugar  fr.  London  at  the  price  of  1 1 5  /  4'' 
per  cwt,  a  noble  price  surely,  yet  it  sold  next  day  at  148/  but  we  must 
take  Cousin  Caleb's  method  in  apples!  sugar  must  cost  our  family  no  more 
than  usual.  The  subject  of  the  Slave  trade  will  be  again  brot.  before 
Parliament,  with  considerable  additional  advocates  for  its  abolition,  but  I 
doubt  its  obtaining  at  this  time,  though  I  thiuke  the  cup  of  iniquity  must 
be  near  full,  probably  the  longer  it  is  permitted,  the  greater  will  the 
vengeance  be  when  it  is  poured  out.  I  do  sincerely  wish  it  may  be  pre- 
vented by  a  timely  abstaining  from  so  horrid  a  crime.  The  Sierra  Leone 
establishment  is  going  forward,  with  a  determined  step  to  do  what  can  be 
done  (with)  great  expectations  of  facilitating  the  object  by  the  grant  made 
of  20  sq.  miles  by  King  Naimbauna,  and  his  disposition  with  that  of  one 
of  his  sons  (24  years  of  age,  whom  he  has  sent  to  Eng**.,  and  placed  under 
the  care  of  Granville  Sharp  for  his  education)  to  abolish  the  inhuman 
traffic  for  men.  At  the  conclusiim  of  his  letter  to  G.  Sharp  the  king 
says,  "  My  son  —  I  hope  you  will  take  care  of  him,  and  let  him  have  his 
own  ways  in  nothing,  but  what  you  think  right,  yourself."  I  have  not 
heard  whether  the  embarkation  of  any  has  yet  taken  place.  I  would  send 
thee  the  Report  of  the  Court  of  Directors  to  the  Sierra  Leone  Co.,  if  it 
was  not  too  bulky  for  the  Post  to  Havre,  but  intend  ordering  one  to  thee 
from  London  by  the  Spriccj  sliips.  It  appears  that  this  estal)li:>hment  has 
given  some  alarm  to  the  W.  I.  proprietors,  who  had  laid  a  plan  to  render 
the  whole  abortive,  which  was,  an  intention  to  purchase  more  than  half  the 
shares,  but  happily  this  combination  was  discovered  before  any  part  of  it 
was  put  in  execution,  and  measures  adopted  by  the  Comp''  for  no  proprietor 
to  be  admitted,  unless  he  were  known  to  be  a  firm  friend  to  the  cau.se. 
These  circumstances  have  occasioned  a  great  number  of  families  to  relia- 
quish  their  W.  I.  sugar,  and  some  all  sugar. 

Religion,  humanity  and  inability  from  present  exorbitant  price  (are  the 
causes  of  this). 

Such  are  the  exertions  of  so  large  a  body  of  the  community,  that  T  think 
the  downfall  of  slavery  has  already  made  a  great  march,  and  it  must  ere 
long  give  way  on  all  sides.  May  this  happy  day  break  forth,  through 
conviction  in  those  so  deeply  dyed  with  the  blood  of  those  poor  victims, 
rather  than  with  the  iron  rod  now  in  so  many  instances  exercised  by  tlie 
oppressed  over  the  oppressor  in  St.  Domingo,  where  such  tragic  scenes 
on  all  sides  are  exhibited,  as  to  make  nature  revolt  at  the  recital.  I  must 
now  return  to  business,  having  digressed  further  than  I  intended,  after 
adding  that  3  or  4000  troops  are  sent  from  this  kingdom  to  quell  the  in- 
surrection, which  I  believe  will  be  of  little  use.  *  *  *   * 

We  fully  approve  of  thy  purchase  of  the  brig  of  Sampson,  and  the  new 
hull  for  the  materials  of  the  Sally,  as  well  as  thy  sending  men.  after  live 
oak  and  red  cedar.  Thee  neetis  no  apology  among  us.  as  we  all  mean  to 
act  in  our  distant  situations  on  one  principle,  that  is,  the  general  benefit. 
I  wish  every  attention  paid  to  seasoning  the  timber  of  the  nev/  ship.  She 
will  be  large  and  costly.  I  have  already  desired  that  she  may  be  set  up 
with  as  much  timber,  as  can  be  placed  upon  her  and  that  she  may  stand 
twelve  months  without  a  plank  upon  her.     The  streaks  marked  out  upon

the  timbers,  and  the  holes  bored  long  before  planking.  This  will  be  a 
novelty,  but  I  know  it  can  be  done,  and  the  carpenter  must  be  paid  for  it, 
as  likewise  for  any  loss  upon  the  plank.  Get  2  or  3000  ft.  more  of  out 
board  plank  than  the  vessel  will  take,  which  may  prevent  a  loss  in  width. 
Giving  opp^  for  the  timbers  to  season  will  also  give  more  time  to  get  the

Dunkirk,  l**  mo.  30*\  1792. 

Dear  Son  Sam'  Rodman, 

******  ^g  Y(re  want  to  purchase  2  ships  for  Obed  Fitch  & 
O.  Paddock  in  lieu  of  the  Maria  and  the  Falkland,  we  shall  want  all  our 
money  from  these  two  voyages  and  a  part  of  the  Hope's  when  she  may 
arrive  to  answer  that  purpose,  together  with  the  outfit  of  our  sis  vessels 
viz.:  Canton,  New  Ship  of  Bester,  2  now  to  be  purchased,  Hope  and  Pene- 
lope, if  they  arrive  safe,  all  which  we  are  now  making  provision  for. 
Thou  must  draw  in  sterling  if  Anthony  cannot  sell  livres,  but  hope  they 
will  be  able  to  furnish  thee  in  that  line,  as  I  am  very  unwilling  to  draw 
sterling,  but  let  no  person  be  put  off  when  time  of  payment  arrives.  *  *  * 

I  have  written  to  Thomas  and  W™,  countermanding  the  circulation  of 
50,00u  livres.  lest  a  change  in  currency  arise,  and  make  a  loss  rather  than 
a  profit.  Whether  the  last  5O.()0O  livres  was  on  that  plan  or  for  thy  use, 
I  do  not  rightly  understand  from  their  letter,  nor  is  it  material  which  way 
it  goes;  if  remitted  in  st'g  it  will  turn  to  good  account,  and  if  for  thy  use 
will  be  equally  so.  *  *  *  I  shall  now  direct  them  to  draw  the  whole 
50,000,  if  needed  for  thy  use,  but  to  omit  purchasing  the  vessel  for  I  think, 
under  the  circumstances  of  St.  Domingo,  vessels  will  be  sold  cheaper  in 
this  country  than  in  America  ***** 

I  intended  to  have  enlarged  considerably  on  other  matters,  not  relative 
to  business,  of  which  I  am  often  wearied,  but  knowing  communications  of 
this  kind  are  in  our  present  state  necessary,  I  submit  to  it  with  a  degree  of 
cheerfulness.     ***** 

What  is  most  perplexing  is  to  keep  watch  of  the  wretched  paper  money 
to  avoid  loss.  T  have  reason  to  be  glad  of  my  invariable  resolution  to  get 
what  surplus  of  money  we  had  into  England,  as  soon  as  I  could  until  it 
reached  32;  we  have  now  £6000  there. 

I  say  I  intended  to  have  enlarged,  but  was  interrupted  (not  disagreeably) 
by  a  sensible,  valuable  young  man  from  the  S'  of  Finance  who  is  our 
frequent  visitor,  who  has  left  the  Religion  he  was  educated  in,  acknowledg- 
ing to  the  truth  in  many  respects,  and  I  hope  will  see  through  some  things 
that  are  now  veiled.  Being  late  in  the  evening,  I  conclude  with  united 
love  to  you  all.  Thy  affectionate  father, 

W"  Rotch. 
P.  S.     31st,  8  in  the  morning. 

It  is  with  satisfaction,  I  may  inform  thee  of  the  safe  arrival  in  the  Roads 
of  the  Canton — all  well. 


1892.]  Letters  of  William  Botch.  Ill 

Dunkirk,  2mo.  11th,  1792. 

Dear  Son  Sam*  Rodman, 

*  *  *  *  I  am  glad  that  thou  hast  sent  and  art  sending  us  so  much 
teef,  m^  130  bbls.  pr  Canton  and  90  intended  pr  Ospray.  This  article 
must  be  attended  to  next  fall,  if  we  are  to  continue  the  fishery.  Pork  as  I 
before  wrote  to  thee,  can  be  procured  here  to  advantage,  under  the  present 
state  of  the  assignats.  We  have  agreed  for  all  we  want  for  the  6  vessels 
@  6|  long,  in  paper,  which  is  not  more  than  2/4  st'g  in  real  money.  *  *  *  * 

The  oil,  pr.  Maxfield,  came  just  right  for  us  to  make  a  good  advantage 
in  laying  it  out  here,  and  if  there  had  been  more  it  would  have  been  equally 
so,  but  let  not  this  prompt  thee  to  further  speculations,  unless  in  Mexican 
oils,  that  can  be  strained  to  advantage;  as  the  crisis  of  the  stand^  or  fall^ 
of  this  Constitution  is  probably  at  hand,  therefore  a  time  that  requires 
caution.  I  do  not  T\onder  that  the  king's  acceptance  of  the  Constitution 
was  attended  with  pleasing  sensations  to  you ;  it  had  the  etFect  on  us,  but 
they  were  soon  alloyed  by  tlie  preparations  for  attack  on  this  kingdom  by 
the  ex-princes,  nobles  and  clergy,  aided  openly  or  secretly  by  almost  all  the 
powers  of  Europe,  religion  and  civil  liberty  being  poisonous  to  despots. 
An  attack,  I  believe,  will  be  made  in  the  spring.  Time  will  determine  the 
event.  The  present  encouragement  in  the  Fishery  from  the  advanced 
price  in  oil  and  bone,  which  is  really  advantageous,  so  far  as  the  monev 
can  be  appropriated  to  the  produce  of  this  kingdom,  determines  us  to  keep 
steadily  on,  and  keep  all  our  interests  insured  in  England,  until  an  altera- 
tion in  the  government  more  favorable.  We  have  just  purchased  a  ship  at 
Havre,  for  O.  Fitch,  of  about  250  to  280  tons,  for  29.250  livres.  She  will 
cost  at  sea  probably  45.000  (the  vessel  complete  for  whalino-).  She  is 
good  and  sound,  only  7  yrs.  old,  built  with  fine  timber  at  Havre.  If  she 
does  not  exceed  45,000  will  be  very  cheap.  *  *  *  *  We  are  looking  for 
another  at  the  same  place  for  O.  Paddock.  These  two  to  replace  the 
Maria  and  Falkland  and  use  up  assignats,  these  last  too  bad  to  remit  to 
London.  We  have  now  about  60.000  due  for  bounty ;  the  decree  not  yet 
passed  but  the  money  ready  for  payment.  If  the  Hope  should  come  in 
full,  I  think,  with  what  we  have  added  to  that  voyage  would  purchase  these 
two  ships  and  fit  the  vrhole  six  out  completely,  and  insure  them  *  *  *  * 
If  the  Penelope  comes  in  safe,  perhaps  her  earnings  may  be  appropriated  to 
some  speculations  here  to  lay  by  *  *  *  *  If  thou  canst  not  be  supplied 
by  livres,  then  thou  must  draw  st'g  for  absolute  necessity,  but  put  no  man 
off  to  whom  we  may^owe  money  *  *  *  *  &c. 

Dunkirk,  3  m°.  2"^,  1792. 
Dear  Son  Samuel  Rodman, 

My  last  was  to  the  18  &  20th  ult°,  via  London,  since  which  have  rec"^ 
none  from  thee.  As  I  know  that  after  receiving  uccot'  of  the.  late  riots  and 
destruction,  in  part,  of  several  houses  &c.  in  this  place  you  will  be  anxious 
to  know  our  situation  since  that  period;  we  have  been  entirely  quiet  ever 
since,  by  the  awe  of  a  strong  military  force,  and  probably  shall  remain  so 
as  long  as  the  pretended  cause  ceases,  that  is,  the  exportation  of  corn,  but 
as  it  is  expected  that  will  again  take  place  to  supply  the  want  of  the  South, 
it  is  apprehended  it  will  again  be  made  a  pretext  for  devastation  &  plunder. 
Revolutions  from  a  state  of  despotism  to  liberty  generally,  I  believe,  have 
tha  same  etFects  in  all  countries.  When  that  liberty,  which  is  the  right  of 
man  is  obtained,  it  commonly  is  much  abused,  and  degenerates  for  a  time 
into  licentiousness   with  its   frequent  production  of  a  levelling  principle,

which  often  terminates  in  plunder.  Everything  around  us  wears  a  cloomv 
aspect.  Anarchy  or  war  seem,  in  the  view  of  many,  the  alternatives,  both 
dreadful  in  their  operations.  We  have  thus  far  been  favoured  to  remain 
unmolested,  and  hope  we  may  be  preserved  with  stability  and  fortitude 
sufficient  for  the  day,  but  trials  I  appreliend  will  attend.

CHAX>-rxG. — Mr.  Henry  James,  in  his  recent  Life  of  Hawthorue,  alludes  to 
William  Ellery  Channins:,  the  Concord  poet,  as  tlie  son  of  the  "  great  moralist." 
As  he  is  not  alone  in  this  mistake,  it  seems  desirable  to  put  the  three  William 
Channings  of  the  same  generation  on  record. 

William  Ellery  Channing,  D.D.,  married  his  cousin  Ruth  Gibbs,  and  had  only 
one  son,  AVilliam  Frank  Channing.  He  was  distinguished  in  early  life  for  re- 
searches in  the  same  line  as  those  of  Tyndal.  and  the  invention  of  the  electric 
fire  alarm,  the  use  of  which  he  generously  presented  to  his  native  city  of  Bos- 
ton. He  became  conspicuous  later  for  divorcing  his  lirst  wife  for  reasons  not 
recognized  by  the  laws  of  Massachusetts ;  and  when  he  married  a  second  time, 
went  to  Rhode  Island  in  consequence,  and  later  to  California. 

Francis  Dana  Channing,  a  young  lav.-yer  of  great  prominence,  was  a  brother 
of  Dr.  W.  E.  Channins.  Hedied'early.  He  married  Susan  Higginson  and  had 
one  son,  the  late  Rev.  William  Henry  Channing.  known  as  a  Unitarian  preacher, 
at  one  time  as  a  disciple  of  Fourier,  and  came  home  from  England  to  do  a 
patriot's  duty  during  the  civil  war.  He  died  in  1X84.  When  his  father  was 
young  his  sister  wrote  of  him,  that  "  sunshine  and  spring  breezes  always 
seemed  to  enter  the  room  with  Frank."'    This  was  equally  true  of  the  son. 

Walter  Channing,  Doctor  of  [Medicine  and  a  distinguished  lecturer  at  Har- 
vard, was  another  "brother.  He  married  Barbara  H.  Perkins.  He  had  one  son, 
William  EUery  Channinsr.  who  married  Ellen,  the  sister  of  Margaret  Fuller, 
and  had,  I  think,  live  children.  These  v.ere  adopted  by  their  grandfather  after 
their  mothers  death.  William  Ellery  Channing.  known  as  the  Concord  poet, 
is  as  we  see  the  son  of  Boston's  most  distinguished  gynaecologist.

Bible  Famtly  Records.  (Ante,  vol.  14,  p.  400).— In  the  Register,  October. 
1890,  I  made  an  inquiry  regarding  Bi^'le  Farnih/  Becords. 

My  wish  was  to  ascertain  ,1)  who  could  show  the  earliest  record  of  that  sort, 
and  (2)  the  date  of  the  earliest  Bible  in  which  blank  pages  were  left  to  atford 
space  for  snch  records. 

The  earliest  Bible  known  to  me  with  such  blank  pases  was  printed  in  181«> 
by  Collins  in  New  York.  By  way  of  answer  the  editor  stated  that  Carey's 
Bible  printed  in  Philadelphia  in  1807  had  such  leaves  nine  years  earlier  than  my 
date,— and  further  that  ••  the  Bartlett  family  Bil)le,  printed  in  1611,  contains  a 
record  of  birtl.'s,  etc..  written  on  paizes  which  had  been  left  blank  in  the 
volume."  As  these  blank  pages  do  not  appear  to  have  been  intended  for  enter- 
ing family  records.  I  repeat  my  querj-  whether  the  Bible  society,  British  or 
American,  from  the  outset  afforded  blank  spaces  for  family  records, — and  the 
date  of  the  earliest  Bible  in  which  such  spaces  are  found.     Ja3IES  D.  Butler.

The  SniANCAS  Map  of  1610  and  Waymouth's  Discovery.  (By  Henry  S. 
Burrage,  D.D.) — In  the  Register  for  Januaiy,  1892.  the  Rev.  B.  F.  Dc  Costa, 
in  a  note,  p.  S-1,  states  that  in  various  papers  and  contributions  he  has  sought 
to  make  the  point  '-that  the  river  discovered  in  Maine,  by  Waymouth  in  his 
exploration  of  1G05,  was  not  the  St.  George,  but  the  Kennebec,  otherwise  the 
Sagadahock  to  which  Pophara's  expedition  sailed  in  1607."  One  of  these  con- 
tributions I  recall.  It  appeared  in  the  Magazine  of  American  History  (vol.  9, 
p.  300),  where  in  a  notice  of  Mr.  Geor<xe  Bancroft's  revised  first  volume  of  his 
History  of  the  United  States,  referring  to  the  fact  that  Mr.  Bancroft  had 
adopted  the  St.  George's  tlieory.  Dr.  De  Costa  says,  Bancroft  "  sends  Way- 
mouth  to  explore  a  splendid  river  where  there  is  so  little  v/ater  that  tish  can 
hardly  swim."  This  statement  will  surprise  anyone  who  has  seen  the  George's 
river,  and  Mr.  Bancroft  in  liis  reply  disposed  of  the  statement  by  referring  to 
the  Coast  Survey  chart  which  tells  "the  very  different  story  that  there  is  a 
river  of  groat  uniform  depth."  This  depth  is  about  fourteen  fathoms  at  the 
mouth  of  the  river,  eicrht  and  ten  fathoms  at  Fort  St.  George  about  two  thirds 
of  the  M-ay  to  Thoma^ton,  and  three  and  three  fourths,  four  and  eight  fathoms 
at  Thomaston.  The  fact  is  that  vessels  of  the  largest  class  are  built  at  Thomas - 
ton,  and  vessels  of  twelve  hundred  tons  have  been  built  as  far  up  the  river  as 
Warren.  It  would  seem,  therefore,  that  one  could  hardly  make  a  greater  m/is- 
take  in  a  statement  than  in  saying  the  St.  George's  river  has  "  so  little  water 
that  fish  can  hardly  swim." 

In  his  note  in  the  Regi.ster  for  January,  however,  Dr.  De  Costa  errs  even 
more  surprisingly  than  in  this  earlier  statement.  He  has  shown  already,  he 
says,  that  no  early  map  of  the  coast  of  Maine  desiirnates  the  St.  George's  river : 
but  a  recently  discovered  map.  he  tells  us,  which  dates  back  to  1610,  and  which 
has  recently  been  published  in  Mr.  Alexander  Brown's  Genesis  of  the  United 
States,  "destroys  tlie  last  hope  of  the  advocates  of  the  St.  George  theory, 
puncturing  and  exploding  their  specious  arguments,"  inasmuch  as  it  has  -'no 
indication  irhotever  of  any  St.  Geonje's  river,  which  would  inevitably  have  been 
shown  if  the  river  had  been  discovered  and  explored."  Singularly  enough  just 
the  opposite  of  this  statement  is  the  truth.     On  this  map  the  St.  George's  i-iver,

under  its  Indian  name.  Tahanock,  is  plainly  indicated,  and  it  i3  only  necessary 
to  republish  that  portion  of  the  map  which  includes  the  coast  of  Maine,  in  order 
to  "  puncture  "  thoroughly  this  la?t  statement  by  Dr.  De  Costa.*  Ou  it  the  posi- 
tion of  the  island  St.  Georire  (Monheizan)  vsith  reference  to  the  Tahanock  i>  that 
of  llonhe^an  with  reference  to  the  St.  George's  river.  Furthermore  the  St. 
George's  river  has  this  marked  peculiarity,  that  on  either  side  here  and  there 
are  large  coves,  viz. :  Deep  Cove.  Gay  Cove.  Turkey  Cove,  ;Maple  Juice  Cove, 
Otis  Cove,  "Watts  Cove,  Cutler's  Cove.  Broad  Cove,"  and  Hyler's  Cove.  These 
"very  gallant  coues."  as  Rosier  described  them  in  his  '-Relation,"  are  distinctly 
indicated  on  the  map  of  1(510.  The  •'  codde  "  of  the  river,  also,  appears  exactly 
where  from  Rosier's  description  we  should  expect  to  tlnd  it.  Moreover,  and 
this  is  especially  siguidcant.  Rosier  tells  us  that  Waymouth,  when  he  ascended 
the  river  in  his  vessel,  took  with  him  a  "  crosse"  to  erect  at  that  point  where 


the  river  trends  westward,  the  present  site  of  Thomaston.  It  is  a  remarkable 
fact  that  on  this  map  of  1610,  where  the  Tahanock  trends  in  the  directiiiu  men- 
tioned, there  is  a  mark  of  a  cross.  What  is  this  cross,  but  the  cross  to  which 
Rosier  refers,  and  which  Waymouth  erected  as  a  token  of  English  discoverv? 
Mr.  Alexander  Brown  suggests  this  in  his  note  coucernine  this  map.  -'The 
cross  at  the  bend  of  the  Tahanock,"  he  says,  "  was  possiblv  erected  there  by 
Captain  George  Waymouth,  June  13,  1605."  Doubtless  King  James's  survevor, 
•who  prepared  the  map  of  1610. t  used  the  "  perfect  GeographicaU  map  '  which 

•  A  rednced  fac-simile  of  this  portion  of  the  map  is  here  given.— Ed. 

t  This  map  will  he  found  in  the  fir-t  volume  of  Mr.  Brown's  admir.ible  -work,  p.  45f5.  It 
-was  prepared  by  a  surveyor  whom  King  James  of  England  sent  to  Virginia  in  1610  for  this 
purpose.  In  >uine  secret  way  a  copy  of  the  map  was  obtained  bv  the  Spanish  Am'i^t-ia.lor 
in  London  and  was  sent  to  the  King  of  Spain,  and  so  at  len'-'ih  found  its  wav  to  tiie  Library 
at  Simanea-,  whore  it  has  been  prL-^erved.  Mr.  Brown  in  his  note  eoncerning  tli:>  map, 
says,  "I  am  inclined  to  think  that  the  map  was  compiled  and  drawn  either  bv  Robert 
Tyndall  or  by  Captain  Powell.  Ho-.vever  I  cmnot  be  certain."  And  he  adds  (Genesis  of 
the  United  States,  vol.  1,  p.  4-58),  "  1  think  the  map  evidently  embodies  [besides  the  survevs 
of  Chan. plain  and  other  foreigners],  the  English  surveys  of  White,  GosnoUl,  Waymouth, 
Pring,  Hudson,  Argall,  Tyndail,  and  pOssfbly  others."

"Waymouth  made  when  he  was  on  the  coast  of  Maine;  and  this  accounts  for  the 
indication  on  the  map  not  only  of  the  cross,  but  also  of  the  "  great  mountaines" 
which  Waymouth  saw  and  toward  which  he  sailed  as  he  ascended  the  river.

Did  a  Majority  of  the  DoRcnESTER  Ciiup>ch  go  to   "Wixdsor? — Two 

phrases  used  in  the  review  of  the  published  volume  of  Dorchester  First  Church 
records,  contained  in  the  preceding  number  of  the  Register,  ante  page  'JT,  be- 
ing deemed  ambiguous  by  certain  readers  of  the  Register  and  friends  of  the 
reviewer,  he  desires  in  the  interest  of  correct  history  to  be  more  explicit.  The 
uncertainty  is  in  these  clauses:  "A  part  of  the  i)orchester  church  of  1630, 
supposed  to  be  a  majority  of  the  membership,  emigrated  at  that  time  aud 
founded  the  town  of  Windsor,  Coim."  "  As  the  surviving  pastor,  Rev.  John 
Warham,  two  deacons  of  the  original  church  and  a  majority  of  members  re- 
moved, it  is  the  Oi'i  lion  of  some  that  the  church  as  an  institution  went  also." 

The  reviewer  had  meant  that  his  statement  should  be  sufficiently  guarded  in 
using  the  words  "supposed  to  be  a  majority,"  thinking  that  tlae  qualifying 
■word  would  be  understood  where  the  word  "  majority  "  again  appears,  and  that 
it  would  be  interpreted  to  be  the  same  majority  in  each  case.  This  view  would 
be  consistf^nt  with  the  use  of  the  phrase  later  on,  "  Whatever  may  tinally  be 
concluded  in  the  matter." 

Still,  the  language  might  be  construed  to  mean  that  it  is  generally  so  sup- 
posed; therefore,  he  would  say  that  it  has  been  so  supposed  by  only  a  few 
persons,  so  far  as  he  is  aware.  Certain  citations  given  in  the  introduction  of 
the  volume  in  review  seem  to  sisnify  thar  Increase  Mather,  Cotton  Mather,  aud 
Hubbard  the  historian,  supposed  a  majority  went  to  Windsor.  The  late  editor 
of  the  Congregationalist,  Kev.  Henry  M.  Dexter,  D.D.,  and  those  people  in 
Windsor  who  think  the  church  of  that,  town  to  be  the  only  original  Dorchester 
Church,  are  to  be  classed  in  the  same  category. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  great  mass  of  readers  and  students  of  the  historical 
records  make  no  supposition  in  the  premises,  but  await  evidence.  Aud  it  would 
seem  that  the  establishment,  beyond  controversy,  of  the  fact  that  thirty-flve 
church  members  remained  in  Dorchester  (which  is  done  by  the  authors  of  the 
introduction  to  the  volume  in  review),  puts  upon  those'  who  do  suppose  as 
stated,  the  burden  of  summoning  from  the  remote  past  an  equal  number  of 
Dorchester  names  of  church  members,  in  AVindsor,  in  1G36,  as  a  basis  for  their 
conjecture.  Da>'iel  W.  Bakek. 


Deacons  of  the  First  CnmcH,  Dorchester.— Rev.  Dr.  Thaddeus  Mason 
Harris,  in  the  appendix  to  his  "discourse  (page  23).  delivered  at  Dorchester, 
October  10,  1804,  at  the  Funeriil  of  Deacon  Abijah  White,"  Deacon  of  the 
church,  says,  "Deacon  John  Moore,  Deacon  John  Gayland"  (meaning, 
probably.  William  Gaylard  or  Gaylord)  "removed  with  the  first  church  to 
Windsor,  Con."  What  evidence  have  we  that  they  were  deacons,  so  far  as 
W^illiam  Gaylord  is  concerned? 

Again.  Deacon  Ebenezer  Clapp,  .Jr.,  in  the  Historv  of  Dorchester,  page  79, 
writes,  "  William  Rockwell,  freeman  in  1630.  The  first  deacon  with  Mr.' Gay- 
lord of  the  Dorchester  Church,  signed  the  first  land  crants  of  the  plantation. 
Moved  to  Connecticut."  On  page  52,  "  William  Gaylord,  one  of  the  first 
deacons,"  "  removed  to  Windsor."  On  page  68,  "  John  ^[oore  came  as  deacon 
of  the  church  in  1630.  He  removed  to  Windsor,  and  was  deacon  of  the  church 
there."  Can  it  be  shown  that  John  Moore  was  at  any  time  deacon  of  the  church 
in  Dorchester? 

William  Gaylord  had  a  grant  of  land  in  Dorchester,  March  18,  1637-S. 
William  Rockwell  went  to  Windsor  it  is  supposed,  soon  after  Jan.  2,  1637-8. 
See  Introduction  to  Dorchester  Church  Records,  page  xvi.  Unless  these  two 
individuals  wont  to  Windsor,  r.nd  returned,  which  is  alto:xether  improbable, 
they  continued  \.o  be.  from  the  boiriuning,  inhabitants  of  Dorchester  until  1638. 
Have  we  reliable  authority  for  calling  Gaylord  and  Rockwell  deacons?  I  have 
found  no  contemporary  evidence  that  they  were.  WiLUAit  B.  Trask.

at  his  home  in  Newbury,  25  Aug.,  1690,  and  as  he  was  married  Nov.  23,  1603,  it 
seems  probable  that  he  was  older  than  46  in  1690.  His  son  Nathaniel  went  iu 
the  expedition  a:2:ainst  Canada,  and  was  mortally  wounded  in  October,  1690,  on 
board  the  ship  Sis  Friends,  and  died.  Rev.  John  Hale  of  Beverly,  the  chaplain, 
wrote  his  will,  which  was  duly  siu:ned  and  witnessed.  Mr.  Hale  brouirht  the  will 
home,  and  srave  it  to  the  young  man's  father-in-law,  Peter  Toppan,  who  failed 
to  ofl'er  it  fur  probate.  See  depositions  on  tile  at  Salem  Court  House,  of  Kev.

NECROLOGY  OF  THE  NEW-EXGLAND  HISTORIC 
GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

Prepared  by  Hamilton  Andrews  Hill,  A.M.,  Historiographer,  of  the  Society. 

The  Historiographer  would  inform  the  Society,  that  the  sketches  pre- 
pared for  the  Register  are  necessarily  brief  in  consequence  of  the  limited 
space  which  can  be  appropriated.  All  the  facts,  however,  which  can  be 
gathered  are  retained  in  the  Archives  of  the  Society,  and  will  aid  in  more 
extended  memoirs  for  which  the  "  Towne  Memorial  Fund,"  the  gift  of  the 
late  William  B.  Towne,  is  provided.  Four  volumes,  printed  at  the  charge 
of  this  fund,  entitled  ''Memorial  Biographies,"  edited  by  the  Commit- 
tee on  iSIemorials,  have  been  issued.  They  contain  memoirs  of  all  the 
members  who  have  died  from  the  organization  of  the  society  to  the  year 
1862.     A  fifth  volume  is  ready  for  the  press. 

G11.BERT  Nash,  Esq.,  a  resident  member,  elected  January  4,  18.?2,  died  at  East 
Braintree,  Mass.,  April  1:3,  1888,  acred  nearly  63.  He  was  a  son  of  Capt.  Timothy 
and  Mrs.  Elizabeth  (Cushing)  Nash  of  Weymouth,  in  which  town  he  was  boru 
April  28,  182.5.  He  was  the  seventh  in  descent  from  Capt.  .lames'  Nash,  an 
original  settler  of  Weymouth,  through  Lieut.  .Jacob.*  Lieut.  Joseph,^  Job,'* 
Lieut.  Timothy,*  aud  Capt.  Timothy*  his  father.  Through  his  mother,  he  was 
the  eighth  in  descent  from  Dea.  Matthew  Cushing,  an  original  settler  of 
Hingham,  Ma,ss. 

Gilbert  Nash  was  educated  in  the  common  schools  of  his  native  town.  At  the 
age  of  eighteen,  in  the  autumn  of  1^4.0,  he  went  to  St.  Louis.  Mo.,  where  he  en- 
gaged in  the  boot  and  .•>hoe  trade  Avith  an  elder  brother  Timothy.  In  the  spring 
of  1858  he  returned  to  Weymouth,  and  was  eniraged  in  the  shoe  manufacture  for 
a  short  time.  In  1852  he  removed  to  Boston  and  entered  the  employ  of  the  firm 
of  which  his  brother,  Abner  P.  Nash,  was  a  partner,  in  the  boot,  shoe  and  leather

business.  A  few  years  later  he  became  associated  with  his  brother,  under  the 
firm  of  A.  P.  Nash  i  Co.,  which  for  many  years  was  a  well-known  leather  house. 
He  was  engaged  in  the  boot,  shoe  and  leather  business,  either  as  principal  or 
employee,  until  his  death,  living  alternately  in  Wej-mouth,  Boston,  Melrose  and 
Braintree. 

He  was  interested  in  the  public  schools,  serving  on  the  school  committees  of 
Weymouth  and  Melrose.  He  was  for  several  years  one  of  the  auditors  of  the 
town  of  \Veymouth,  and  for  a  time  previous  to  his  removal  to  Braintree  one 
of  the  trustees  of  the  Tufts  Library.  He  was  connected  with  the  Congre- 
gational Church  as  an  active  worker,  serving  as  a  deacon  in  the  Berkeley  Street 
Church,  Boston,  and  a  teacher  in  its  Sunday  school;  and  as  superintendent  of 
the  Sunday  school  at  Melrose.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  a  deacon  and 
the  superintendent  of  the  Sunday  school  of  the  Union  Congregational  Church  of 
Weymouth  and  Braintree. 

He  early  developed  literary  tastes  and  wrote  many  articles  for  the  news- 
papers, in  the  fall  of  1800  he  published  a  volume  entitled  "Bay  Leaves  and 
other  Poems."  He  was  interested  in  local  and  family  history  and  showed  a 
great  aptitude  for  antiquarian  research.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Weymouth  Historical  Society  in  I87'J.  and  was  its  first  recording  secretary,  which 
office  he  held  till  his  death.  He  was  the  editor  of  the  two  volumes  of  the  pub- 
lications of  that  society,  namely:  1,  Journal  of  Gen.  Solomon  Lovell,  1881, 
to  which  he  contributed  a  sketch  of  the  life  of  Gen.  Lovell;  2,  Sketch  of 
Weymouth,  1385,  of  which  he  was  the  author.  Among  the  unpublished  manu- 
scripts left  by  him  are  a  genealosy  of  the  Nash  family  of  Weymouth,  and  much 
historical  and  genealogical  matter  relating  to  that  town. 

Mr.  Nash  married  1st,  July  2G,  1846,  Catharine  Augusta  McKnight  of  Phila- 
delphia, who  died  August  29,  1846.  He  married  2d,  "December  31,  1847,  Eliza 
Charlotte,  daughter  of  Kichard  Harbord,  a  native  of  London,  who  died  ia 
Weymouth  in  1883.  In  1885  he  was  again  married,  to  Helen  Nash  of  Lovelaud, 
Ohio,  who  survives  him. 

An  account  of  his  funeral,  which  was  held  at  the  Union  Church,  Monday  after- 
noon, April  If!,  1888,  is  printed  in  the  Weymouth  Gazette,  April  20,  with  a  sketch 
of  his  life,  to  which  I  am  indebted  for  some  of  the  facts  here  given.

Ephr.aim  George  Squier,  A.M.,  a  corresponding  member,  elected  Mav  1, 
1861,  died  at  Brooklyn,  N.Y.,  April  17,  1888.  aged  66.  He  was  born  in  Bethle- 
hem, N.Y.,  June  17,  1821,  the  son  of  a  methodist  minister  whose  father  Philip 
Squier  was  a  soldier  in  the  revolutionary  war.  When  a  youth,  he  worked  on  a 
farm  in  the  summer  and  taught  school  in  winter.  At  eighteen  he  published  a 
village  newspaper  in  Charlton,  N.Y.>  and  studied  civil  engineering.  He  after- 
wards removed  to  Albany,  N.  Y.,  where  in  1840  he  edited  the  Parlor  Magazine, 
which  the  next  year  was  succeeded  by  the  Poet's  Magazine;  but  ouly  two  num- 
bers of  the  latter  periodical  were  issued.  From  1S41  to  1842  he  contributed  to 
and  virtually  edited  the  New  York  State  Mechanic,  published  at  Albany.  In  1843 
he  published  "  The  Chinese  as  they  are."  The  same  year  he  went  to  Hartford, 
Ct.,  and  for  two  years  edited  the  Hartford  Daily  .Journal,  a  whig  newspaper, 
and  was  an  ardent  supporter  of  Henry  Clay,  then  a  candidate  for  the  presidency 
of  the  United  States.  In  1845  he  became  the  editor  of  the  Scioto  Gazette,  at 
Chillicothe,  Ohio,  and  held  the  position  nearly  three  years.  He  was  clerk  of  the 
Ohio  legislature  during  the  winter  of  1847-8.  With  Edward  Hamilton  Davis, 
M.D.,  he  wrote  "Ancient  Monuments  of  the  Mississippi  Vallej,"  published  in 
1848  in  the  first  volume  of  the  "  Smithsonian  Contributions  to  Knowledge." 

When  Gen.  Zachary  Taylor  became  president  of  the  United  States,  in  1840, 
he  appointed  Mr.  Squier  charge  d'affaires  to  the  republics  of  Central  America. 
In  that  position  he  negotiated  treaties  with  Nicaragua,  Honduras  and  San  Sal- 
vador respectively.  In  1863  he  was  appointed  United  States  commissioner  to 
Peru.  He  was  the  first  president  of  the  Anthropological  Institute  of  New  York 
in  1871,  and  a  member  of  a  large  number  of  learned  societies.  For  several  years 
he  was  chief  editor  of  Frank  Leslie's  publications.  He  has  published  numerous 
works  on  archa-ological,  historical  and  geographical  subjects.  A  list  of  them 
will  be  found  in  Allibone's  Dictionary  of  Autliors,  vol.  2,  pp.  2215-6,  Duyckinck's

Eleazer  Fkanklix  Pratt,  Esq.,  Boston,  a  resident  member,  elected  Feb.  6, 
1850,  died  in  this  city  Oct.  14,  1588,  aged  75  years  and  six  months.  He  was  bom 
on  Sheafe  Street  at  the  North  End,  Boston,  May  14,  1813;  was  educated  in 
the  public  schools,  and  graduated  from  the  Eliot  School  with  a  well  deserved 
Franklin  medal.  He  was  a  playmate  with  Edward  and  Henry  Ward  Beecher, 
•who  lived  on  the  same  street.  He  continued  throughout  his  life  to  take  an 
interest  in  the  welfare  of  that  part  of  the  city.  He  was  one  of  the  oldest  mem- 
bers of  the  Eliot  School  Association,  and  wrote  some  interesting  accounts  of  the 
school  in  its  earlier  days.  For  years  he  had  been  a  member  of  the  Old  School 
Boys'  Association. 

He  was  a  scholarly  man  and  particularly  interested  in  the  study  of  history  and 
theology.  Exceedingly  fond  of  the  lineage  of  his  family,  he  had  devoted  much 
time  to  a  history  of  his  branch  of  the  Pratt  family  in  which  he  was  an  authority, 
and  which  at  his  decease  was  nearly  ready  for  the  press. 

He  began  his  business  career,  about  a  year  after  attaining  his  majority,  in  the 
■wholesale  drug  and  paint  business  in  this  city,  under  the  firm  name  of  Pratt  & 
King,  which  led  to  the  subsequent  establishment  of  the  present  house  of  E.  &F. 
King  &  Co.,  one  of  the  largest  in  the  trade  in  the  United  States. 

Mr.  Pratt  retired  from  business  in  1849,  and  devoted  himself  to  literary  pur- 
suits. He  was  a  thorough  Unitarian  and  a  member  of  the  late  James  Freeman 
Clarke's  church. 

He  was  much  interested  in  the  General  Theological  Library,  of  which  he  was 
an  officer.  The  late  Mr.  Alexander  Young,  in  the  Boston  Post,  over  the  signature 
of  "  Taverner,"  thus  speaks  of  him  :  "  The  life  of  this  courteous  gentleman  was  a 
singularly  happy  one,  and  his  death,  surrounded  by  his  family,  was  as  he  wished 
like  falling  to  sleep.  Eetiring  from  business  about  fifty  years  ago,  he  had 
the  tastes  and  capacity  for  the  enjoyment  of  leisure  such  as  few  of  this  genera- 
tion of  struggling  money  getters  are  favored  with.  He  took  a  deep  interest  in 
the  cause  of  good  government  and  was  faithful  in  the  performance  of  his  duties 
as  a  citizen.  His  kindly  instincts  led  him  to  aid  those  on  whom  fortune  had 
turned  her  back,  and  his  interest  in  young  men  was  a  pleasant  feature  of  his 
genial  activities." 

By  S'ranklin  8.  Pratt,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  Mass. 

Ebexzzer  Torrey,  A.M.,  a  resident  member,  elected  Nov.  6,  1867,  was  bom 
in  Franklin,  Mass.,  August  16,  1801.  He  fitted  for  college  at  the  Leicester  and 
Lancaster  academies,  and  entered  Har^'ard  in  1818,  graduating  in  1822.  He 
•went  to  Fitchburg,  and  studied  law  with  .John  Shepley ;  in  1825  he  was  admitted 
to  the  bar,  and  for  two  years  practised  alone.  In  1827  he  formed  a  partnership 
with  Nathaniel  Wood  (Harvard  College  1821),  which  continued  during  nearly 
half  a  century,  and  until  the  death  of  ^Ir.  Wood  in  1876.  Mr.  Torrey  was 
treasurer  of  the  town  of  Fitchburg  for  thirty  successive  years.  He  was  one  of 
the  incorporators  of  the  Fitchburg  Bank,  formed  in  1832,  and  served  it  as 
cashier  and  president.  He  was  also  a  trustee  of  the  Worcester  Mutual  Fire 
Insurance  Company.  In  1832,  and  again  in  1847.  he  was  a  member  of  the 
Massachusetts  House  of  Representatives,  and  in  1849  he  was  a  member  of  the 
Massachusetts  Senate,  and  chairman  of  the  committee  on  banks  and  banking. 
In  1853  and  1854,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Executive  Council  with  Governors 
John  H.  Clifford  and  Emory  Washburn.  As  this  record  shows.  Mr.  Torrey  was 
an  enterprising,  public  spirited  and  highly  trusted  citizen.  He  was  a  leading 
member  of  the  Unitarian  Church  in  Fitchburg,  and  was  exemplary  in  all  the 
relations  of  life.  He  died  at  Fitchburg,  Sept.  3,  1888.  He  was  twice  married, 
first  to  Frances  Houghton  of  Fitchburg,  secondly  to  Sarah  Arnold  of  Uxbridge.

The  Archives  of  the  Corporation  of  Andover.  By  the  Rev.  R.  H.  Clutterbuck, 
Rector  of  Pentou  Mewsey.  Part  I.  Reprinted  from  the  "  Andover  Adver- 
tiser."    Sm.  8vo.  pp.  SO.     Price  one  shilling. 

The  town  of  Andover  in  Hampshire,  though  but  a  small  place,  is  still  of  some 
importance  as  the  centre  of  a  large  agricultural  district,  and  anciently,  no 
doubt,  when  the  textile  trades  were  carried  on  in  this  part  of  the  county,  was 
of  no  small  note.  Prom  a  very  early  date  it  was  a  corporate  town,  and  the 
men  of  Andover  received  the  grant  of  a  gild  merchant  upwards  of  seven 
hundred  years  ago.  Necessarily  there  has  been  a  vast  accumulation  of  records, 
and  it  is  most  remarkable  how  very  many  of  them  have  been  preserved  to  our 
day.  The  rolls  on  which  are  recorded  the  maneloquium  or  "morrow  speech" 
of  the  town  council — the  minutes,  as  we  should  say  now — go  back  as  early  as  the 
reign  of  Henry  III.,  and  so  do  the  enrolments.  Only  those  who  have  seen 
these  records  have  any  idea  how  extensive  and-  numerous  they  are.  Pifty-flve 
years  ago  Mr.  Footner,  the  then  town  clerk,  reported  to  the  Record  Commission 
that  neither  he  nor  anyone  iu  the  district  could  read  them.  Tiie  corporation 
even  then  was  alive  to  the  importance  of  taking  care  of  them,  and  employed  a 
Mr.  Titheridge  to  sort  them.  He  catalogued  them  to  some  extent,  but  there  re- 
mained and  has  remained  ever  since  a  vast  mass  of  parchments  and  papers 
in  utter  confusion.  Lately  the  town  council  has  taken  up  the  question  of  their 
assortment,  and  the  task  of  classifying  them  has  been  entrusted  to  Mr.  Clutter- 
buck,  a  beneficed  clergyman  in  the  neighborhood  of  Audover,  who  has  had 
great  experience  iu  decyphering  records.  The  present  pamphlet  is  the  result  of 
some  of  his  work.  Very  wisely  instead  of  waiting  till  every  document  was 
examined  and  classed,  he  has  made  abstracts  and  extracts  as  he  has  gone  along, 
and  sent  them  week  by  week  to  the  local  newspaper.  The  result  is  perhaps 
somewhat  mixed,  hut  antiquaries  will  not  giumble  when  they  see  the  mass  of 
information  thus  placed  before  tbem. 

In  the  present  part  we  have  lirst  some  wills  of  local  people,  and  then  come 
"Abjurations  tern.  William  III.,"  with  many  lists  of  names.  Next  are  two 
bundles  of  "  Recognizances,"  1G49-1702.  Then  foUow  a  series  of  ■■  indictments," 
temp.  William  III.,  as  well  as  miscellaneous  documents.  At  pago  39  we  find  an 
excellent  account  of  the  court  leet  of  Andover  and  its  local  leatures.  Mr. 
Clutterbuck  gives  numerous  extracts  of  the  time  of  William  III.,  from  the  pre- 
sentments of  the  jury  with  lists  of  the  inhabitants  returned  by  th  •  tithing  men, 
followed  by  specimens  of  the  presentments  made  at  the  view  of  Frank  pledge 
.  in  the  time  of  Elizabeth. 

The  records  of  Andover  will  be  of  great  interest  to  New-England  folk,  for 
Andover,  Mass.,  was  largely  peopled  from  the  old  Hampshire  to^v-n.  Mr.  Clut- 
terbuck has  intimated  that  while  the  sorting  goes  on  he  is  "unlling  to  note  any 
names  of  interest  to  American  genealogists.  After  his  work  is  completed  that 
will  not  be  possible,  as  the  records  are  unindexed. 

When  we  remember  that  this  work  originally  appeared  in  the  columns  of  a 
newspaper  it  must  be  admitted  that  it  makes  a  very  respectable  show,  and  the 
proprietors  of  the  Andover  Advertiser  must  be  congratulated  on  the  result. 
Their  example  is  one  which  might  with  advantage  be  followed  by  other  local 
newspapers.  We  shall  look  forward  to  the  next  part,  and  can  cordially  recom- 
mend it.  It  is  a  marvel  of  cheapness.

University  Press.     1891.     8vo.  pp.  45. 

Here  may  be  read  the  rise  and  course  of  a  New-England  town,  whose  citizens 
were  mostly  rude,  uncultivated,  often  perverse,  men,  endued  with  the  ordinary 
attributes  of  seltishness,  yet  controlled  and  directed  by  the  few  more  intelligent 
and  broader  minds,  at  whose  head  for  the  early  generations  was  the  minister 
and,  later,  the  wealthy  and  educated  families,  whose  fortunes  acquired  else- 
where supported  them  in  rase  and  moderate  affluence  on  the  barren  soil.  When 
the  throes  of  revolution  came,  it  is  evidetit  how  eagerly  the  humbler  classes, 
who  had  little  to  lose,  entered  into  it,  and  how  reluctant  and  hesitant  were  the 
more  wealthy ;  how  small  a  portion  of  the  men  went  to  war  with  the  mother 
land ;  and  how  lightly  the  expense  of  the  struggle  was  borne.  The  mighty 
change  which  took  place,  when  the  money  value  of  the  ledges  beneath  the  hard 
surface  was  developed,  is  clearly  set  forth,  leading  forward  to  conditions 
which  forced  the  expansion  of  the  town  into  the  city  of  to-day,  and  its  prepara- 
tion for  incorporation,  by  and  by,  into  the  larger  Boston  of  the  future. 

The  influence  of  the  Norman  element  was  for  the  best  interests  of  the  whole 
community.  In  no  New-England  town  was  the  energy,  the  enterprise  and  the 
formative  power  of  the  blooded  families,  settled  among  the  people,  more  pro- 
nounced than  as  exemplified  by  the  Quincys,  the  Apthorps,  the  Borlands,  the 
Cleverleys  and  the  Vassalls  of  Braintree.  Content  to  subsist  on  the  product 
of  their  farms,  with  very  moderate  margins  for  income,  they  dwelt  as  did  their 
humbler  neighbors,  in  every  day  life  and  labor;  but  their  wise  and  masterf\il 
direction  of  public  artairs  was  manifest  and  paramount  at  the  annual  March 
meeting,  where  the  right  of  free  discussion  and  vote  always  existed.  In  busi- 
ness there  was  very  small  traffic,  for  there  was  almost  no  money,  and  no  surplus 
was  raised.  The  farming  barely  supported  the  inhabitants:  probably  would 
not,  had  not  proximity  to  Boston  and  easy  access  by  water  furnished  a  ready 
market  for  the  cider,  the  pumpkins  and  the  beans,  spared  from  slender  hoards 
to  supply  indispensable  wants  and  the  taxes.  Small  fisheries  flourished,  and 
vegetables  were  exported  to  Spanish  and  other  tropical,  or  semi-tropical,  ports. 
Out  of  this  and,  as  it  grew,  quitting  Braintree,  came  Colonial  commerce  and  the 
hardy  seamen  who  conducted  it.  In  this  history,  that  of  Braintree  was  very 
similar  to  that  of  other  ^Massachusetts  coast  towns;  the  gentle  blood  fllled  the 
highest  political  stations,  while  the  deacon,  the  highest  elective  church  official, 
came  from  the  plain  people.  The  minister  was  imported  and,  we  are  afraid, 
very  meanly  and  grudgingly  supported.  The  naiTow  thoughts  and  petty  lives 
of  the  towns-people,  the  vulgarity  of  their  manners,  the  lax  moral  tone  and 
universal  intemperance,  prevalent  in  the  Colonial  period,  are  well  known  to  all 
students  and  searchers  of  county  records.  Distilleries  were  frequent,  taverns 
ubiquitous  and  every  country  store  had  its  open  bar.  The  indictments  of  the 
grand  juries  evidence  the  gross  indulgence,  of  which  only  the  most  flagrant  and 
grievous  cases  came  to  public  notice.  The  records  of  Essex  and  Middlesex 
parallel,  if  not  surpass  any  cases  cited  in  the  pamphlet,  whose  title  is  given 
above  and  which  is  printed  as  an  appendix  to  this  volume.  Great  stress  was 
practised  in  haling  before  the  courts  respondents  for  acts,  to-day  regarded  as 
private  or  of  small  public  concern. 

All  this  and  much  more  Mr.  Adams  shows  in  a  series  of  delightful  chapters, 
with  full  record  of  the  ultimate  changes  etfected  by  the  railway  and  the  granite. 
Such  is  the  wholesome  flavor  of  the  antiquary  and  the  political  philosopher, 
which  pervades  the  volume,  that  one  is  at  a  loss  for  preference  between  the 
Braintree  of  the  past  and  the  Quincy  of  the  present;  or  to  determine  if,  indeed, 
the  author  has  such  a  preference.  As  >Ir.  Adams  announces  this  volume 
preliminary  to  a  more  extended  work,  we  hope  he  will  see  his  way  to  add  ap- 
pendices of  town  and  church  official  lists;  records  of  births,  marriages  and 
deaths,  with  more  extended  genealogies  of  the  leading  families,  whose  reputa- 
tion ai  d  fame  have  carried  the  name  of  the  city  into  almost  half  the  states  of 
the  Union,  even  to  the  distant  commonwealths  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  as  well  as 
furnished  an  acceptable  praenomen  in  innumerable  instances.

Exchange  Printing  Company.     8vo.  pp.  282. 

This  handsome  specimen  of  the  printer's  and  binder's  skill  surpasses  the 
previous  publications  of  this  Society,  the  pioneer  in  arousing  a  -svorthy  respect 
for  the  men  who  fought  in  the  War  of  the  Revolution. 

Instituted  in  187i),  re-awakened  and  re-organized  in  1883,  since  the  later  date  by 
its  example  it  has  been  the  means  of  creating  an  interest  throughout  the  Union 
and  has  extended  the  right  hand  of  fellowship  to  societies  organized  in  the 
states  of  Pennsylvania,  District  of  Columbia,  Iowa.  New  Jersey,  Georgia  and 
Massachusetts,  uniting  with  them  and  forming  a  National  Society. 

Lists  of  the  officers  of  the  different  state  societies  are  found  in  the  pages  of 
the  book,  the  Constitution  of  the  General  Society  and  By-Laws  of  the  New"  York 
Society. 

The  importance  of  the  work  to  genealogists  lies  in  an  alphabetical  list  of  the 
members'  names,  with  their  relationship  to  their  Revolutionary  ancestors  and 
the  active  service  of  the  ancestor  through  whom  their  claim  for  membership 
rests.  As  such  claims  are  from  authorized  documentary  evidence,  the  accuracy 
of  the  record  can  be  readily  appreciated  by  those  who  have  been  furnished 
traditionary  evidence  of  by-gone  days. 

The  prevalence  of  prominent  names  of  the  Revolutionary  period  is  marked  on 
a  perusal  of  the  record  of  its  nine  hundred  and  two  members,  a  majority  of 
whom  have  supplementary  claims  of  descent  from  active  participants  in  the 
struggle  for  freedom ;  that  the  energetic  spirit  which  pervaded  the  soldiers  and 
statesmen  of  those  days  has  not  deteriorated  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  the 
New  York  Society  includes  in  its  membership  men  of  high  social  standing  and 
familiar  to  all  the  present  generation  by  their  national  reputation  in  their  ditlerent 
callings. 

Incorporated  in  the  work  is  the  stirring  address  delivered  by  Prof.  Henry  P. 
Johnson  on  May  11,  1S91,  on  '•  Ticonderoga,  or  the  Defeat  of  the  Old  World  in 
the  Nev.',"  and  a  poem  on  "  The  Name  of  Washington,"  by  Geo.  Parsons  Lathrop.

which  is  a  portrait  of  Washington  copied  from  Conders  picture.

On  the  organization,  March  7,  1889,  of  the  New  Jersey  Sons  of  the  Americaa 
Revolution,  by  a  few  of  the  members  of  the  New  York  Society  of  Sons  of  the 
Revolution,  a  circular  was  issued  by  the  New  Jersey  Society  for  the  formation 
of  state  societies. 

Connecticut  promptly  responded  in  April,  1889,  organizing  a  state  society. 
Unlike  the  New  Jersey  and  other  of  the  state  societies  of  the  Sons  of  the 
American  Revolution,  the  Connecticut  Society's  requirements  for  membership 
are  more  strict  and  similar  to  those  of  the  Sons  of  the  Revolution,  with  whom 
from  a  similarity  of  names  it  has  often  been  confounded.  That  the  parent 
name  of  Sons  of  the  Revolution  be  taken  is  the  desire  of  many  members,  and  it 
can  be  readily  appreciated  by  all  as  a  simple  solution  to  rectify  an  unfortunate 
choice  of  a  name,  and  where  a  common  interest  demands  union  in  words  and 
deeds. 

The  history  of  the  growth  of  the  society  shows  the  untiring  efforts  of  its 
officers  and  members,  which  have  culminated  in  producing  a  membership  of 
over  five  hundred. 

Added  to  a  list  of  members  is  a  valuable  necrology  of  those  who,  having 
reverenced  the  deeds  of  their  ancestors,  have  joined  the  great  army  a*  fellow 
members  with  them. 

The  typographical  qualities  of  the  book  are  enhanced  by  photo-mechaniGal 
reproductions  of  portraits  of  Jonathan  Trumbull  and  Israel  Putnam. 

The  work  as  a  whole  reflects  great  credit  on  the  Committee  of  Publication, 
Messrs  Joseph  W.  Woodward,  Lucius  F.  Robinson,  Jonathan  F.  Morris,  Lucius 
P.  Deming  and  Rufus  W.  Griswold.

The  publication  by  the  town  of  Manchester,  Mass.,  of  a  printed  volume  con- 
taining all  the  general  records  of  the  town  which  have  been  preserved  to  ns 
from  the  beginning  down  to  the  year  1736,  comprised  in  the  Second  and  Third 
Books  of  the  Town  Records,  was  noticed  in  the  Register  for  January,  1S90 
(xliv.  125),  and  the  hope  was  expressed  that  the  good  work  would  "not  be 
allowed  to  stop  there,  but  that  steps  should  be  taken  to  carry  it  on  to  completion. 

At  the  annual  town  meeting  held  in  March,  1S90,  the  town  voted  to  contiune 
the  printing  of  its  ancient  records,  and  the  volume  before  us  is  the  result.  It 
contains  the  Fourth  Book  of  the  Records  of  the  Town,  from  173(j  to  1786.  with 
the  exception  of  certain  tax  lists  and,  constables'  receipts.  There  are  added 
also  extracts  from  the  volume  entitled  "  Commoners'  Records,"  beginning  in 
1718  and  ending  in  1769.  These  extracts  were  printed  in  accordance  with 
another  vote  of  the  town  passed  at  the  same  meeting.  The  volume  is  provided 
with  an  index  of  persons  arranged  by  Christian  and  surnames,  aud  an  index  of 
places  and  subjects. 

To  the  able  and  efhcient  town  clerk.  Alfred  S.  Jewett,  and  the  committee, 
Daniel  Leach.  D.  L.  Bingham  and  William  H.  Tappan,  who  have  so  cordially 
co-operated  with  him,  the  town  is  indebted  for  the  success  of  this  effort  to  pre- 
serve from  destruction  the  fast-decaying  records  of  one  of  the  oldest  towns  in 
Massachusetts.  It  must  be  remembered  that  these  ancient  records  concern  not 
only  those  who  now  live  within  the  narrow  limits  of  the  town,  but  the  de- 
scendants, scattered  all  over  the  Union,  of  its  early  settlers,  and  indeed  all 
antiquaries  and  historical  scholars  everywhere  throughout  the  land,  for  they 
are  part  of  the  history  of  the  Commonwealth,  and  that  history  cannot  be 
properly  written  without  a  thorough  study  of  the  history  of  the  towns  that 
comprise  it.  The  printing  of  such  volumes  as  these  is  now  for  the  first  time 
m.aking  these  town  records  accessible  to  the  historian. 

The  hope  is  again  expressed  that  long  before  the  approaching  celebration  of 
the  2.50th  anniversary  of  the  town,  all  its  records  from  the  earliest  times  down 
to  at  least  the  beginning  of  the  present  century,  if  not  later,  may  be  put  beyond 
the  reach  of  destruction  by  the  art  of  the  printer.  The  printed  page  is  a  monu- 
ment more  lasting  than  brass,  and  it  is  the  only  monument  which  is  imperish- 
able.

This  very  readable  little  history  will  be  instructive  to  adults  as  well  as  to 
children.  Col.  Higirinson  treats  his  subject  carefully,  fairly,  and  in  a  way 
which  ought  to  int-rest  the  young.  The  period  of  the  civil  war.  perhaps  the 
most  difficult  of  any  to  the  historian,  especially  to  the  writer  of  a  "  popular"  work, 
la  admirably  portrayed.  Col.  Hig^inson  is  well  qualitied  for  his  task,  and  ha.<i 
shown  discretion  not  only  in  what  he  has  so  well  arranged  and  condensed,  but 
in  what  he  has  omitted  altogether.  The  illustrations  are  numerous  and  pleasing, 
and  the  chronological  table,  and  the  questions,  which  latter  fill  thirty-three  pages, 
will  be  of  great  assistance.  The  list  of  •■  Books  for  Consultation  "  contained  in 
the  appendix,  and  the  statistics  given,  show  excellent  judgment  in  selection. 
The  volume  contains  a  map  of  what  is  now  tlie  United  States,  witli  data  explain- 
ing the  accessions  of  territory  at  different  times.  We  have  examined  several 
"  popular"  state  histories  in  the  past  few  years  which  fail  to  serve  the  purpose 
for  which  Lhey  were  intended,  because  the  works  are  superflcial  and  lacking 
in  the  very  respects  and  characteristics  which  commend  the  volume  before  us. 
A  "popular"  history  which  does  not  contain  the  constitution  of  the  state  or 
nation  which  is  its  subject,  and  whicli  devotes  a  few  lines  only  to  one  important 
epoch,  and  many  unnecessary  pasjes  to  another,  is  a  poor  thiiig.  We  take 
pleasure  in  recommending  Col.  Higginson's  book,  and  cousider  it  a  remarkably 
good  Young  Folks'  History  of  the  United  States.

lished in  October,  1S90,  and  was  noticed  by  us  in  January,  1S91.  In  that  work 
Mr.  Whitraore  successfully  showed  the  true  nature  of  the  fables  about  the 
authorship  of  Mother  Goose's  Melodies,  which  for  a  quarter  of  a  century  have 
been  so  industriously  circulated ;  and  he  showed  the  true  origin  of  the  name 
and  the  melodies. 

The  present  edition  is  much  enlarged  and  improved.  The  author's  positions 
have  been  fortified  by  new  proofs.  Among  the  newspapers  of  the  second  half 
of  the  last  century  he  finds  evidence  that  the  booksellers  and  printers  of  Boston 
gave  the  children  of  New  England  a  chance  to  become  familiar  with  some  of 
the  characteristic  melodies  collected  by  Newbery.  I  have  little  doubt  that 
copies  of  the  whole  book.  Mother  Goose's  Melody,  were  imported  and  sold  in 
Boston  soon  after  Newbeiy  issued  it  in  Loudon.  The  most  important  addition 
to  this  edition  is  a  fac-simile  reprint  of  a  New  York  edition  of  1795,  of  Mr. 
Charles  Ferrault's  Tales,  which  Jlr.  Whitmore  showed  in  his  last  edition  gave 
popularity  to  the  name,  Mother  Goose.  A  memoir  and  portrait  of  Perrault  are 
given.  Mr.  \yhitmore's  research  leaves  little  to  be  desired  on  the  questions 
he  discusses. 

Montcalm  and  Wolfe.  By  Fra>xis  Parkm.vx.  Fourteenth  edition  (being  part 
seventh  of  his  France  and  England  in  North  America).  Boston:  published 
by  Little,  Brown  &  Company.  University  Press,  John  Wilson  &.  Son.  1S90. 
2  vols.  Svo.  pp.  xvi.4-51-i  and  X.+502. 

This  is  the  fourteenth  edition  of  a  well-known  standard  work,  which  tells  the 
story  of  the  events  that  led  to  the  capture  of  Quebec,  and  of  its  important  and 
far-reac'ning  results.  As  a  historian  we  consider  Mr.  Parkman  as  able,  accurate 
and  happy  in  his  style  as  any  of  the  writers  who  by  laborious  research  have 
presented  to  the  world  trustworthy  accounts  of  the  development  of  the  American 
continent.  What  Bancroft  has  done  to  illumine  the  history  of  the  United 
States,  and  Prescott  to  throw  light  upou  the  Spanish  conquests  in  the  new  world, 
Parkman  has  to  a  large  degree  accomplished  in  his  chosen  domain,  the  struirgle 
of  France  and  Great  Britain  for  supremacy  in  America.  The  second  volume 
contains  a  likeness  of  Wolfe  at  the  age  of  si.^teen  years,  and  is  the  only  picture 
of  him  known  to  exist,  as  he  never  after  sat  for  his  portrait.

Fragments  of  Bevolutionary  History.  Being  hitherto  unpublished  writings  of  the 
Men  of  the  American  lievolution,  collected  and  edited  under  authority  of  the 
District  of  Columbia  Society,  Sons  of  the  Revolution.  By  Gaillard  Hunt, 
Registrar  and  Historian.  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  :  The  Historical  Printing  Club. 
1892.  Svo.  pp.  200.  Price  in  paper  .$2.<X),  in  half  leather  .$2.50. 
The  interest  excited  by  the  formation  of  Societies  of  Sons  of  the  Revolution 
have  led  to  the  gathering  and  publication  of  much  that  is  pertinent  to  that 
period  of  the  nation's  history. 

In  this  collection  of  letters,  which  is  mainly  in  the  possession  of  some  of  the 
members  of  the  District  of  Columbia  Society  of  Sons  of  the  Revolution,  the 
historian  and  student  will  find  new  material  and  corroboration  of  previous 
publications  on  the  Revolutionary  War. 

Especially  can  this  bo  said  regarding  that  part  of  the  struggle  when  the  opera- 
tions were  in  the  southern  states.  The  correspondence  of  Morgan,  Mercer  and 
Lafayette  are  of  special  value.  The  interest  is  also  quickened  by  the  addition 
of  Washington  Letters,  the  appearance  in  print  of  which  is  always  hailed  with 
ardor  by  the  student  of  American  history,  and  which  awaken  envious  dreams  in 
the  autograph  collector.

"We  continue  in  this  number  our  quarterly  notices  of  genealogical  publications. 

The  first  book  on  our  list  is  a  bulky  volume  on  the  Stanton  Family,  descend- 
ants of  Thomas  Stanton,  an  early  settler  of  NeTv  Ena:land,  who  was  prominent 
in  the  aft'airs  of  the  Massachusetts  and  Connecticut  colonies.  The  author  is  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Stanton  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa.  He  has  evidently  devoted  great  labor  to 
the  work,  and  has  been  very  successful  in  the  collection  of  biographical  and 
genealogical  facts.  The  book  makes  over  six  hundred  pages,  and  contains  over 
one  thousand  families  and  more  than  ten  thousand  names.  Besides  the  Stanton 
genealosy  proper,  records  of  many  other  families  who  intermarried  with  the 
Stantonsare  here  preserved,  among  which  may  be  named  those  of  Allen,  Avery, 
Babcock,  Baldwin,  Barber,  Brown,  Bryant,  Chesebrowe,  Crandall,  Denison, 
Frink.  Gallup,  Geer,  Hewitt,  Xoyes,  Palmer,  Prentice.  Rust.  Smith,  Thompson, 
West,  Wheeler,  Wilcox  and  Williams.  The  book  is  well  compiled,  clearly  ar- 
ranged and  well  indexed.  It  is  printed  on  thick  white  paper,  and  is  very  credit- 
able to  the  publishers,  Messrs.  Joel  Muusell's  Sons  of  Albany. 

The  next  book  is  on  the  Beckwith  family,  and  is  compiled  by  Paul  Beckwith 
of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  formerly  of  Washin<rtou,  D.  C.  The  earlier  portion  of  the 
volume  is  devoted  to  the  English  Beckwiths,  and  the  later  to  those  of  that  name 
in  this  country.  A  "  Roll  of  Honor"  is  given,  recording:  the  services  of  persons 
by  the  name  in  American  wars  from  1655  to  1SG5,  evidently  a  work  of  much 
labor.  The  genealogy  is  very  full  and  is  well  compiled.  It  has  a  good 
index.  Mr.  Beckwith  wishes  those  interested  to  send  him  any  records  and  facts 
which  they  may  possess,  and  which  are  not  found  in  this  volume,  as  he  wishes 
to  continue  his  History  of  the  American  Beckwiths. 

Mr.  Rodenbough's  "  Autumn  Leaves  from  Family  Trees  "  contains  genealogies 
of  the  seven  families  whose  names  are  found  on  the  title  page,  besides  genea- 
logical matter  relating  to  other  families  connected  with  them.  They  are  care- 
fully compiled.  The  book  is  one  of  the  most  tasteful  of  recent  additions  to 
genealogical  literature.  It  is  handsomely  printed  and  bound,  and  profusely 
Illustrated  with  portraits  and  other  engravings.     It  has  a  good  index. 

The  next  book  is  devoted  to  the  genealogies  of  the  families  named  on  the 
title  page.  Part  I.  contains  the  descendants  of  William  Strobridse,  who  came 
from  Ireland  early  in  the  last  century  and  settled  in  Middleborongh.  Mass.,  where 
he  died  Xov.  14,  1777,  aged  87.  Pa'rt  II.  contains  the  descendants  of  William 
Morrison,  son  of  Robert,  who  settled  at  North  Bridgewater,  Mass.,  in  1740.  A 
third  part  contains  a  partial  genealogy  of  the  Strawbridge  family  in  America 
descended  from  various  stocks.  The  book  is  compiled  in  a  very  thorough  and 
satisfactory  manner,  is  handsomely  printed  with  numerous  fine  portraits  and 
other  engravings.     It  has  full  indexes. 

The  next  volume  gives  the  descendants  of  Daniel  Forbush,  who  settled  in 
Marlborough,  Mass.,  in  the  latter  part  of  the  seventeenth  century.  In  the 
Register  for  April,  1853,  the  late  Andrew  H.  Ward  has  an  article  on  "Changes 
in  Surnames,"  and  cites  numerous  ways  in  which  the  surname  of  this  settler 
and  his  descendants  appear  on  the  records  and  elsewhere,  such  as  Farrabas,  For- 
bush, Farrowbush  and  Forbes.  The  emigrant  has  many  living  descendants  of 
prominence,  many  of  whom  spell  their  name  Furbush,  some  Forbes,  and  others 
use  various  varieties  of  the  surname.  The  author,  Col.  Pierce,  has  had  much 
experience  as  a  writer  of  local  and  family  history,  and  this  book  is  a  good 
specimen  of  his  work. 

A  new  part  of  the  Dudley  genealogy  has  just  been  issued,  filled  with  valuable 
matter  relating  to  the  Dudleys  and  their  descendants.  Some  interesting  matter 
relating  to  the  Engli>h  Dudleys,  with  a  view  of  Dudley  Castle  and  a  plan  of  the 
grounds,  is  here  found.  A  large  portion  of  the  number  is  devoted  to  families 
descended  from  Gov.  Thomas  Dudley,  the  Aliens,  the  Appletons,  tlie  Atkinses, 
the  Baileys,  the  Backuses,  the  Barbers,  the  Bartletts,  the  Beans,  the  Blaisdells, 
the  Blakes,  the  Blunts,  the  Bradleys,  the  Bradstreets,  the  Brookses,  and  other

families  whose  names  are  found  in  the  remaining  letters  of  the  alphabet.  A 
full  biography  of  Gov.  Simon  Bradstreet  and  Anne  Dudley  his  Tvife,  the  first 
American  poetess,  adds  much  to  the  value  of  the  "u-ork.  Fine  portraits 
embellish  the  work.  "We  hope  that  the  author  will  meet  with  encouragement 
enough  to  continue  the  work. 

The  Estabrook  volume  is  a  valuable  book,  and  the  author  has  laid  those  bear- 
ing his  name  under  great  obligations.  There  are  various  families  of  Estabrook 
in  this  country.  The  ancestor  of  the  earliest  appears  to  be  Rev.  Joseph  Esta- 
brook who  came  to  New  England  in  16(10,  was  graduated  from  Harvard  College 
in  1664,  and  three  years  later  was  ordained  as  a  colleague  of  Rev.  Edward 
Bulkley  over  the  church  at  Concord,  Mass.  The  book  is  well  compiled  and  has 
a  good  index. 

The  book  devoted  to  the  Wheeler  and  the  "Warren  families  descended  from 
the  persons  named  in  the  title  page.  The  genealogical  and  biographical  details 
ai"e  full  and  precise.     The  book  is  handsomely  printed  and  well  indexed. 

Mr.  Oliver  B.  Clason  of  Gardner,  Maine,  has  been  five  years  engaged  in  col- 
lecting materials  for  a  genealogy  of  the  descendants  of  Stephen  Clason.  an  early 
settler  of  Stamford,  Conn.  lie"  has  placed  his  material  in  the  hands  of  Dr. 
"William  B.  Lapham,  who  has  had  much  experience  in  compiling  family  and  local 
histories,  and  who  has  arranged  and  compiled  the  book  in  a  very  satisfactory 
manner. 

The  book  on  the  several  families  of  Moses  whose  ancestors  are  named  on  the 
title  page  of  the  next  book  contains  very  satisfactory  accounts  of  those  families. 
The  compiler,  ^Ir.  Moses,  of  Washington,  D.  C.,  lias  been  very  successful  in 
researches.     The  book  is  well  arranged,  well  indexed  and  well  printed. 

The  Magoun  volume  is  by  Bvt.  Brig.-Gen.  Samuel  Breck,  U.S.A..  of  "Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  the  author  of  the  Brcck  genealogy  noticed  by  us  in  January,  1891. 
It  was  prepared  as  a  memorial  of  the  author's  grandmother,  Mrs.  Ruth  Church 
(Magoun)  Breck,  and  is  a  worthy  memorial  of  her  and  her  kindred. 

The  work  on  the  Kunders,  Cunreds  or  Conrad  family  is  by  Mr.  Conrad,  attor- 
ney at  law,  in  Wilmington,  Delaware.  The  emigrant  ancestor  was  Thones 
Kunders,  one  of  the  little  band  of  German  emigrants  who  in  1683  settled  at 
Germantown,  Pa.  His  youngest  son  Henry,  who  spelt  his  surname  Cunreds, 
settled  at  Whitpain.  ^Montgomery  County,  and  it  is  to  his  descendants  that  this 
book  is  chiefly  devoted.  The  author  has  been  very  successful  in  obtaining 
materials,  particularly  biographical  data  relating  to  Ihe  emigrant  and  his  sous. 
The  book  is  well  compiled,  well  indexed  and  w^ll  printed. 

The  next  work  is  a  report  of  the  proceedings  at  the  first  gathering  of  the 
Hills  family,  which  took  place  on  Monday,  Sept.7,  1891,  at  the  old  homestead 
in  Franklin,  Mass.  The  historical  address  was  by  Mr.  Edwin  M.  Hills  of  Taun- 
ton, Mass.  It  contains  many  interesting  biographical  sketches  of  persons  of 
the  name  and  blood.  The  book  preserves  much  valuable  historical  and  genealo- 
gical material. 

The  work  on  the  Sheppard  family  is  by  Mr.  William  A.  Sheppard  of  Calcutta, 
India,  a  nephew  of  John  H.  Sheppard,  A.M.,  of  Boston,  Mass.,  a  memoir  of 
whom  is  printed  in  the  Register  for  October,  1873.  Four  years  ago  Mr. 
Sheppard  traced  the  ancestry  of  his  family  to  the  latter  part  of  the  sixteenth 
century,  and  published  a  tabular  pedigree  giving  the  result  of  his  labors,  which 
pedigree  was  noticed  by  us  in  October,  1838.  In  the  present  pamphlet  Mr. 
Sheppard  furnishes  much  valuable  and  interesting  matter  relative  to  the  various 
members  of  the  family.  Particularly  interesting  is  the  diary  of  his  father,  Mr. 
George  Albert  Sheppard,  who  was  born  in  Hallowell,  Maine,  in  179'',  and  died 
in  Calcutta  in  1857.  The  earlier  portion  of  the  diary  has  references  to  many 
prominent  New-England  people  of  that  day.  The  tabular  pedigree  published  in 
1887  tias  been  reprinted  in  this  work. 

Mr.  Appleton,  the  author  of  the  next  work,  contributed  to  the  Register  in 
April,  1868,  and  April,  1870,  articles  on  the  Merriam  family.  He  has  added 
other  matter  and  revised  the  whole,  and  now  presents  his  work  on  the  Family 
of  Mirnam  of  Massachusetts  in  a  much  improved  form. 

The  Spencer  notes  are  by  Mr.  Theodore  F.  Jewell  of  Newport,  R.  I.  They 
contain  in  a  condensed  form  the  result  of  some  years  of  research.  A  genealog- 
ical manuscript  written  in  li;49  by  Samuel  W.  Spencer,  M.D.,  of  Florida,  has 
been  used  in  compiling  the  pamphlet.

of  the  Portland  Rifle  Corps  (1839). 
He  was  an  officer  in  Gapt.  Thing's 
Pioneers,  who  started  in  1819  from 
Boston  overland  for  California,  for  gold 
and  adventure.  After  his  return  from 
the  Pacific,  he  was  chosen  captain  of 
the  Rifle  Corps.  He  commanded  the 
escort  and  body  guard  of  H.  R.  H.  the 
Prince  of  Wales,  when  he  visited  Port- 
land in  July,  1860,  He  was  an  Odd 
Fellow  and  a  member  of  the  New-Eng-

was  a  highly  respected  and  honorable 
man.

rian, died  at  Otisco  on  Thursday  eve- 
ning, March  12,  1891.  She  "reached 
her  102d  anniversary  of  her  birth  on 
the  16th  of  February  previous.  Mrs. 
King  came  of  a  long-lived  family,  the 
Clevelands,  distantly  related  to  the 
paternal  ancestor  of  the  ex-president. 
They  emigrated  from  Williamsburg, 
Mass.,  to  New  York  State  a  few  years 
after  the  Tories  were  driven  from  the 
Mohawk  Valley.  Mrs.  King  was  then 
a  child,  having  been  born  in  Williams- 
burg, Feb.  16,  1789.  She  recalled  -with 
distinctness  her  elders  telling  of  the 
Revolution.  The  family  set  their  roof- 
tree  in  Skaneateles  in  1817,  where  the 
deceased  was  married  a  year  later  to 
William  King.  There  were  twelve 
children  in  the  Cleveland  family,  and 
the  mother  who  bore  them  attained  the 
age  of  104  years,  7  months.  Two  sis- 
ters of  Mrs,  Cleveland  lived  to  be  93  or 
99  years  respectively.  That  longevity 
was  inherited  may  be  imagined  when  it 
is  stated  that  one  of  Mrs.  King's  sis- 
ters, Mrs.  Olive  Cleveland  Clarke,  died 
aged  101  years,  4  months  and  21  days. 
Mrs.  Clarke  was  able  on  her  100th 
birthday  to  write  her  autograph  in  a 
clear  and  legible  hand.  ilrs.  King  and 
her  husband  spent  their  lives  on  the 
farm  at  Otisco,  excepting  ten  years 
which  they  took  to  reside  in  Homer, 
Cortland  County,  a  change  made  to 
favor  their  children  in  the  matter  of  an 
education.  Their  offspring  consisted 
of  six,  of  whom  three  are  li\-ing,  as 
follows :  Caroline  and  Amelia  King, 
spinsters,  and  Mrs.  O.  B.  Stone*  of 
Bloomington,  111.  The  unmarried 
daughters  still  remain  at  the  family 
hearthstone.     Lewis  W.  Cleveland  of

and  the  Parkers,  AViliiam  Gray  Whel- 
den,  youngest  son  of  Isaac  and  Eliza 
Davis  (Parker)  Whelden.f  aged  47 
years.  He  Vvas  bom  in  the  house 
where  he  died.  His  paternal  ancestors 
have  lived  in  that  part  of  the  Old  Ply- 
mouth Colony  from  the  beginning  of 
the  settlements  there,  and  his  father  is 
now  living  at  the  advanced  age  of  92 
years.  On  the  maternal  side  he  was 
descended  from  the  Hinckleys,  Stur- 
gises  and  Parkers.  His  mother  was  a 
dauEjhter  of  Rev.  Samuel  Parker,  bom 
at  West  Barnstable  1742,  settled  over 
the  First  Parish  in  Provincecown  Jan. 
20,  1774,  and  there  died  in  the  ministry 
in  the  spring  of  1811. 

In  early  life  Mr.  Wlielden  came  to 
Boston  and  entered  the  employ  of 
Anderson.  Heath  &  Co.,  wholesale  dry 
goods,  Winthrop  Square;  and  soon, 
developing  a  good  capacity  as  a  sales- 
man, he  was  placed  in  the  responsible 
position  of  managing,  as  a  commercial 
traveller,  their  trade  in  central  and 
southern  New  York  and  northern  Ohio. 
A  close  attention  to  business  over- 
taxed a  naturally  delicate  constitution, 
and  he  was  obliged  for  a  year  or  more 
to  remain  at  his  home  in  West  Barn- 
stable. With  restored  health  he  re- 
turned to  Boston  and  joined  the  house 
of  C.  F.  Hovey  &  Co.,  and  renewed  the 
acquaintance  of  his  old  customers,  but 
hemorrhage  of  the  lungs  obliged  hira  to 
abandon  the  flattering  prospects  which 
his  capacity  as  a  salesman  insured  him, 
and  he  retired  in  the  prime  of  life  to 
the  happy  home  of  his  childhood.  For 
twenty  years  he  was  an  invalid,  and  the 
last  ten  of  these  was  an  unbroken  con- 
test with  the  disease  which  has  at  last 
obtained  the  victory.  He  was  singu- 
larly pure  in  his  lif.j ;  patient  in  sick- 
ness, and  bright  and  cheerful  among 
his  friends.  All  that  the  love  and 
sympathy  of  his  sisters  and  father 
could  do  for  him  were  ever  at  his  dis- 
posal. He  never  married.  The  funeral 
was  on  Monday,  Oct.  27th,  and  they 
buried  him  by  the  side  of  his  mother 
and  brother  Sarpuel,  in  the  cemetery 
near  the  ^V'est  Barnstable  station.

HON.  JOHN  PLU:^niER  HEALY,  LL.D. 

Compiled  by  the  Editor. 

John  PLmniER  Healt  was  born  in  Washington,  N.  H.,  Decem- 
ber 28,  1810.  His  father  was  the  Hon.  Joseph  Healv,  who  was 
born  at  Newton,  Mass.,  August  21,  1776,  and  when  two  years  old 
removed  with  his  parents  to  Washington,  N.  H.  He  is  said  to 
have  been  a  man  of  a  strong  mind,  with  an  unusual  amount  of 
common  sense,  which  made  him  a  leader  among  his  townsmen.  He 
was  a  representative  in  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  from  1829 
to  1832.  He  held  various  state  offices,  such  as  member  of  the 
governor's  council,  senator  and  member  of  the  house  of  representa- 
tives. His  second  wife,  the  motlier  of  John  P.  Healy,  was  Saily 
Copeland.  The  emigrant  ancestor  of  this  family  was  William'  Healy, 
an  early  inhabitant  of  Lynn,  who  removed  to  Eoxbury  and  thence 
to  Cambridge,  where  he  died  Nov.  28,  1G83,  aged  70.  He  had 
five  wives.  By  his  wife  Grace  Butterice  he  had  Nathaniel^  bp.  Feb. 
6,  1U58-9,  who  by  wife  Rebecca  had  John,^  born  at  Newton,  Jan. 
8,  1699.  The  latter  by  wife  Hannah  had  John,*  who  married.  May 
13,  1762,  Mary,  daughter  of  Ebenezer  and  Subiah  (Hall)  Wight 
of  Dedhara.  Their  son  Joseph^  was  the  father  of  John  Piummer'^ 
Healy,  the  subject  of  this  memoir. 

He  received  his  early  education  in  the  schools  of  his  native  town, 
and  prepared  for  college  at  Plainfield  Academy.  Hs  entered 
Dartmouth  College  in  1831,  and  was  graduated  in  1835.  Soon 
after  he  left  college  he  began  the  study  of  law  in  the  office  of 
Hon.  Daniel  Webster  of  Boston,  then  United  States  senator  from 
Massachusetts.  "Association  with  so  great  a  man,  in  the  greatness 
of  his  intellectual  powers,  must  have  had  an  etfect  on  the  mind  of 
the  young  law  student,  and  soon  after  his  admission  to  the  bar,  in 
1838,  we  find  him  assisting  Mr.  Webster  in  the  preparation  and 
trial  of  his  great  causes  and  following  his  political  faith  and  for- 
tunes."* Mr.  Healy  became  the  law  partner  of  the  great  statesman, 
and  "  during  the  most  of  the  years  that  the  partnership  continued 
Mr.  "SV^ebster  was  almost  constantly  in  Washington,  either  in  the 
Senate  or  the  Cabinet,  and  Mr.  Healy  was  much  relied  on  by  his

senior  for  the  laborious  work  of  preparing  the  cases  ]Mr.  Webster 
had  in  charge,  and  for  the  business  detail  of  their  mana^jement."* 

At  the  election  in  the  fall  of  1839,  he  was  chosen  by  the  city  of 
Boston  a  member  of  the  ^Massachusetts  house  of  representatives,  and 
took  his  seat  in  January,  1840.  Nine  years  later  he  was  again 
chosen  a  representative  to  the  Massachusetts  legishiture  from  the 
city  for  the  year  1849,  and  was  reelected  for  the  year  1850,  In 
1854  he  was  a  senator  from  the  county  of  Suffolk,  and  as  such  was 
appointed  chairman  of  the  committee  on  railways  and  canals.  lie 
was  also  a  member  of  the  committees  on  towns  and  on  education. 
He  performed  the  duties  of  those  offices  with  faithfulness  and  ability. 

Through  tlie  inrluence  of  ]Mr.  AA''ebster  while  he  was  Secretary  of 
State,  ^Ir.  Ilealy  was  appointed,  by  President  Fillmore,  Judge  of  the 
United  States  District  Court  for  tlie  District  of  California.  His 
reasons  for  declining  so  flattering  an  appointment  are  stated  in  the 
following  quotation  from  an  obituary  notice  : 

Mr.  Healy  hesitated  much  as  to  accepting;  but  beinsc  Tvarmly  urged  by 
friends  in  whom  he  reposed  contideuce,  at  length  decided  atiirmatively  in 
the  matter,  and  made  preparations  to  leave  for  the  distant  but  promising 
field  of  professional  opportunity  tlius  opened  to  him.  To  tell  how  he  came 
to  recall  that  decision  will  be  to  present  not  only  a  biographical  fact  in  its 
proper  order,  but  will  vividly  illustrate  a  salient  personal  trait.  Mr. 
Healy's  father  was  ihe  Hon.  Joseph  Healy,  a  man  of  distinction  and  influ- 
ence in  New  Hampshire,  and  represeiitative  in  Congress  oi  that  State  dur- 
ing several  terms.  At  the  time  referred  to  he  was  a  man  of  venerable 
years,  and  withdrawn  through  decrepitude  from  all  active  pursuits.  His 
son's  appointment  and  his  purpose  to  accept  it  had  been  made  known  to 
him,  so  that,  when  the  son  came  to  the  ancestral  home  for  the  final  leave- 
taking,  he  brought  no  surprising  intelligence.  The  old  man  had  der^ided 
upon  it  as  a  wise  step  for  his  son  to  take,  and  upon  their  meeting  so  advised 
him,  saying:  "My  son,  you  must  go;  it  is  your  duty  to  go."  In  giving 
utterance  to  the  counsels  of  wisdom  he  could  not  restrain  the  promptings 
of  affection,  and  burst  into  tears.  It  was  the  turning-point  of  the  whole 
affair,  for  filial  considerations  instantly  became  dominant  in  the  young 
man's  mind,  and  the  desire  of  Webster,  the  urging  of  professional  friends, 
and  the  prospects  of  a  career  of  the  highest  honor,  ceased  to  have  weight 
before  the  old  man's  involuntary  appeal.  Mr.  Healy  resolved  to  remain  at 
Boston  so  long  as  his  father  should  live.  Mucli  as  he  will  be  lamented  by 
those  with  whom  he  has  held  professional  and  business  relations,  it  is  with 
those  who  have,  in  more  intimate  relations,  come  to  know  the  tender 
sensibilities  of  the  man,  and  that  loveliness  of  personal  character  which  this 
anecdote  bespeaks,  that  his  loss  will  most  deeply  be  felt.f 

Mr.  "Webster  died  in  the  autumn  of  18-52,  and  ^Ir.  Healy  con- 
tinued a  successful  practice  at  the  corner  of  Tremont  and  Court 
Streets,  where  they  had  long  been  located.  In  1856  he  was  ap- 
pointed City  Solicitor,  and  held  the  office  through  all  the  political 
changes  of  the  Boston  city  government  for  twcnty-hve  years.  In 
1881,  the  office  of  Corporation  Council  waa  created  especially  for  him.

1892.]  John  Pluvimer  Heahj.  209 

There  is  but  one  opinion  in  the  public  mind  as  to  his  administration  of 
the  office  of  City  Solicitor,  and  that  is,  that  he  discharged  all  its  duties  in  r% 
conspicuouslv  wise,  hnuest,  able,  and  successful  maurier.  His  firmness  and 
strong  sense  of  right,  and  the  faith  in,  and  respect  for,  his  unjinching 
honesty,  conduced  much  to  maintain  the  proud  eminence  of  Boston  for 
municipal  intei^rity  and  honor  among  her  sister  cities  on  >iis  continent. 
Tvrentv-five  consecutive  elections  bear  witness  to  the  faith  which  many 
successive  City  Councils  had  in  him. 

He  was  most  constant  in  his  attendance  in  his  office,  and  seldom  even 
took  a  day's  vacation,  or  absented  himself  from  the  city.  He  was  most 
courteous  to  all  who  came  in  official  relation  with  him;  and  no  one  ever 
left  his  presence  without  being  impressed  with  his  absolute  honesty.  He 
was  kind  to  all  his  associates  and  subordinates,  and  was  tender  and  for- 
bearing to  the  young  men  connected  with  his  office.  His  was  one  of  those 
natures  which  never  suspected  wrong  in  any  one.  His  mind  was,  however, 
thoroughly  masculine,  and,  although  not  a  lawyer  who  indulged  in  constant 
reading  of  law  books  or  reports,  he  was  thoroughly  grounded  in  the  under- 
lying principles  of  the  law,  and  had  the  faculty  of  applying  these  principles 
to  his  cases  whether  at  nisi  prius  or  in  an  argument  on  questions  of  law 
before  the  full  bench.  No  man  had  a  better  knowledge  of,  or  more  ex- 
perience on,  questions  of  municipal  law  than  he;  and  his  opinions  were 
sought  and  acquiesced  in  by  many  cities  and  towns  outside  of  Boston.  His 
arguments  before  court  or  jury  were  generally  short,  and  he  always  took 
in  and  stated  the  salient  points.  His  power  before  juries  was  remarkable; 
and,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Cliief  Justice  of  the  highest  court  of  this  Com- 
monwealth, was  peculiarly  effective.  He  used  none  of  the  devices  of 
rhetoric;  his  address  to  the  jury  was  plain,  open,  honest  talk,  as  between 
neighbors.  He  thus  gained  tlieir  good-will  and  attention:  and,  as  his 
integrity  was  known  to  all,  their  confi'lence  and  favorable  verdicts  followed. 
The  courts  all  recognized  the  same  traits  of  his  character;  and,  as  he  was 
never  known  to  argue  frivolous  exceptions,  he  was  always  listened  to  with 
closest  attention  and  interest.* 

Mr.  Healy  died  at  his  residence  in  Temple  Street,  Boston, 
January  4,  1882,  aged  seventy-one  years.  Three  days  later  the 
funeral  was  held  at  his  house,  the  mayor  (the  Hon.  Samuel  A. 
Green)  and  other  city  officials,  with  members  of  the  bar  and  promi- 
nent citizens,  attending.  His  death  was  appropriately  nouoed  by 
the  City  government,  by  the  courts  and  by  the  bar. 

jNIr.  Healy  married  in  December,  1847,  Miss  Mary  Stickner 
Barker,  daughter  of  Mr.  Jedidiah  Barker  of  Boston,  who  survives 
him.  Their  only  eon  Joseph,  a  young  lawyer  of  great  promise, 
died  April  18,  1880.  He  was  born  August  6,  1849,  was  graduated 
at  Harvard  University  in  1870,  and  at  the  Harvard  Law  School  in 
1873.      His  death  was  a  severe  blow  to  the  hopes  of  his  parents. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Common  Council  of  Boston,  Jan.  5,  1882,  a 
series  of  resolutions  was  adopted  in  which  the  City  Council  records 
"its  appreciation  of  the  great  professional  skill  with  which  Mr.  Healy 
protected  tlie  interests  of  the  city,  of  his  unceasing  and  courteous 
attention  to  his  duties  as  legal  adviser  of  the  Council,  and  of  the

mnny  charming  qunlities  of  head  and  heart  which  made  him  the 
most  agreeable  of  companions  as  well  as  the  safest  of  counsellors." 
William  H.  Whitmore,  Esq.,  who  prepared  and  offered  these  re- 
solutions, has  furnished  us  with  the  following  tribute  which  shows 
some  striking  characteristics  of  the  man  : 

Having  had  considerable  official  business  with  Mr.  Healy,  I  desire  to 
express  mj  reaiembrance  of  his  unfailing  courtesy  and  good-nature.  He 
was  often  presented  with  questions  largely  political  or  personab  He 
listened  with  serenity  to  the  most  ridiculous  suggestions,  waived  aside  with- 
out ridicule  the  impossible  ones,  and  gave  consideratiou  aud  assistance  to 
every  good  project.  He  was  invaluable  to  the  city  as  au  adviser  in  all 
emergencies,  never  hurried  nor  confused ;  and.  as  inaccessible  to  persuasion 
as  to  menace,  his  words  seemed  the  embodiment  of  justice.  His  manners 
were  courteous  to  all;  and  wlien  he  unbent  to  his  frieuds,  his  recoUectious 
of  meu  and  events  w.ere  charmingly  told. 

At  the  same  meeting,  the  council  voted  that  "the  Joint  Standing 
Committee  on  Rules  and  Orders  be  instructed  to  have  prepared  a 
suitable  memoir  of  the  late  John  P.  Healy,  and  to  insert  the  same 
in  the  Municipal  Register  for  the  current  year."  The  memoir  was 
prepared  by  Godfrey  ]Morse,  LL.B.,  and  is  an  able  tribute  to  Mr. 
Healy's  memory.  Besides  being  inserted  in  the  Municipal  Register, 
it  was  printed  separately.  From  this  pamphlet  we  have  drawn 
freely.*  We  quote  the  following  from  an  editorial  in  the  Boston

The  roll  of  city  solicitors  is  a  memorable  one,  and  John  P.  Healy  leads 
them  all  in  conspicuously  able  service.  Pickering,  Chandler,  Ranney, 
Hiilard,  Healy,  are  bright  names  in  the  oflRcial  life  of  the  city.  His  mind 
was  purely  legal,  and  his  tastes  were  for  the  law.  He  was  thoroughly 
grounded  iu  the  principles  of  the  law.  Fie  was  not,  as  compared  with  mere 
bookworms,  a  great  student  of  the  books,  either  in  the  text-books  or  the 
reports;  but  he  was  well  enough  in  both  those  lines  of  legal  learning  for 
all  practical  purposes.  In  all  the  law  relating  to  towns  and  cities  and 
municipal  corporations  he  was  thoroughly  booked  on  authority  and  prin- 
ci{)le,  and  long  experience  tlierein  made  him  a  thorough  adept.  His  opinions 
were  sought  on  such  matters  from  all  parts  of  the  State,  and  deservedly 
passed  for  oracles  and  models.  He  was  a  quiet,  modest,  and  unpretentious 
man.  He  never  puslied  for  place  or  prominence.  The  few  orncial  trusts 
which  came  to  him  came  in  every  instance  without  seeking  on  his  part,  and 
were  due  solely  to  the  fitness  of  the  man  for  usefulness  in  the  place.  He 
more  than  once  declined  preferment,  desiring  to  live  and  die  a  practising 
lawyer,  and  he  has  died  in  harness.  He  belonged  to  no  rings  aiid  took  part 
in  no  cabals.  He  belonged  to  no  mutual  admiration  societies,  aijd  he  had 
no  lot  with  schemes  aud  schemers.  He  was  a  downright,  good-na:ured,  true, 
and  upright  man.f

OTIS  FAMILY  OF  MONTREAL,  CANADA. 

By  Isaac  J.  Greenwood,  A.M.,  of  New  York  City. 

The  following  notes,  drawn  chiefly  from  Tanguay's  Genealogical 
Dictionary  of  Canada,  may  serve  to  amplify  the  excellent  account  of 
the  Otis  Family  which  appears  in  the  -Ith  and  5th  volumes  of  the 
Eegister. 

Richard  Otis,  a  son  or  nephew  of  John  Otis  of  Hingham,  Mass.,  settled 
about  1G55  in  Dover,  N.  H.,  and  was  there  killed  by  tiie  Indians,  towards 
the  eud  of  June,  1689,  tocjether  with  his  son  Stephen  Otis,  aged  37  years, 
who  by  his  wife  IMary  Pitman  left  a  daughter  3Iary,  born  about  1G75, 
afterwards  the  wife  of  Ebenezer  Varney  of  Dover,  ami  two  sons  Stephen 
and  Nathaniel,  who  were  carried  away  and  sold  to  the  French  in  Canada. 

The  widow  (and  third  wife)  of  Richard  Otis,  was  Grizel  (called  by  her 
descendants  Grizet)  Warren,  born  1GG2,  daughter  of  James  and  Margaret 
Warren.  The  Indians  killed  her  daughter  Hannah,  a  child  of  two  years, 
and  took  her  and  her  infant  (female)  of  three  months  to  Canada.  Here 
the  mother  joined  the  Catholic  church,  was  re-baptized.  Taiiguay,  in  his 
list  of  English  captives,  has:  Warren,  Jacques,  de  Berwick,  en  Ecosse.

children  were: 

1.  Fhilippe,  bpt.  5  February,  1695  ;  visited  his  half-sister  in  Xew  England  and 

remained  about  a  year ;   but  returning  to  Canada,  was  buried  18  Decem-

chel)  Biron,  from  Peille,  bishopric  of  Saintes. 

The  infant,  which  Mrs.  Robitaille  brought  into  Canada  at  the  time  of  her 
capture  in  1689,  was  educated  in  the  Romish  faith,  baptized  as  Christine 
Hotesse,  and  married  at  Montreal,  14  June,  1707,  to  Louis  Bau  (or  Le  Beau),

212  The  Gill  Lineage.  [July, 

TakiniT  advantage  of  an  exchange  of  prisoners  in  1714,  the  widow  Lebeau 
came  to  New  England,  but  was  not  allowed  to  renaove  her  young  children 
from  Canada.  At  Northampton  she  joined  the  Church,  under  the  Rev. 
Solomon  Stoddard,  and  taking  the  name  of  her  grandmother  Warren,  that 
is  Margaret  (though  she  was  usually  called  Christine),  she  soon  married 
Capt.  Thomas  Baker  of  that  place,  afterwards  of  Brookfield.  and  settling  in 
her  native  town  of  Dover  in  1735,  there  died  23  February,  1773,  aged  about 
84  years.  Several  of  her  children  by  the  second  marriage  survived  her,  of 
whom  were  Col.  Otis  Archelaus  Sharrington  Baker,  who  died  at  Dover,  27 
October,  1801,  aged  75,  and  Mary,  widow  of  Capt.  Benjamin  Bean  of 
Epping,  who  died  at  Conway,  N.  H.,  6  February,  1826,  lacking  but  10 
days  of  her  being  one  hundred  years  of  age. 

Stkphkn  Otis,  eldest  sou  of  Stephen  who  was  killed  at  Dover  in  1G89, 
is  not  mentioned  by  Tanguay,  but  as  Joseph-Marie-Autes  of  Quebec,  he,  la 
in  October,  1710,  conveyed  to  his  bro;her  Nathaniel  (or  Paul)  of  Montreal, 
all  interest  he  might  have  to  any  estate  in  'Sew  P^ngland. 

Nathaniel  CVns,  born  1684,  was  re-baptized  in  Montreal  as  Paul 
Hotesse,  and  in  1714  released  to  his  brother-in-law  Ebenezer  Varney  of 
Dover,  all  claim  to  any  estate  in  New  England.  He  was  a  cooper  of 
Montreal,  and  was  there  buried,  26  December,  1730.  He  is  styled  "  fils 
d'Etienne  (Plotesse)  et  de  Marie  Pittman,  de  Douvres,  Nouvelle-Angle-

THE  GILL  LINEAGE. 

By  Prof.  James  D.  Bvtler,  LL.D.,  of  Madison,  Wisconsin. 

The  history  of  genealogical  inquiry  in  the  Gill  family  has  some  points 
of  special  interest.  Few  families  can  show  documentary  proof  of  so  early 
and  continuous  effort  to  trace  their  lineage.  In  few  families  have  genera- 
tions been  so  sundered  by  change  of  langu;;ge,  religion  and  nationality.  A 
search  begun  without  clues  has  seldom  ended  in  such  perfect  success. 

In  1768,  three  brothers,  named  Gill,  born  in  Canada  but  of  New-Eng- 
land descent,  were  anxious  to  ascertain  their  origin.  Their  father  had 
been  captivated  in  childhood  by  Indians,  as  was  believed  about  eighty  years 
before,  and  near  Boston.  The  name  of  the  captive's  father  was  said  to  be 
Sam  or  Sagen.  The  three  i^rothers,  with  others  of  their  kinsfolk,  chose 
one  of  their  number  who  should  go  to  Boston  and  its  vicinity  for  genea- 
logical research.     This  representative  was  furnished  with  a  letter  of  recom-

mendation  from  Guy  Carleton,  Governor  o£  Canada.  lie  was  furnished 
with  a  statement  of  the  traditions  then  prevailing  among  tlie  Canadian 
Gills,  rehiting  to  tlie  New  England  origin  of  their  family,  and  the  following 
letter  of  recommendation  from  the  governor  of  Canada: 

Francis  Robert  Gill  is  recommended  to  all  vs-hom  the  above  may  concern  and 
that  can  assist  him  to  find  out  his  relatives  near  Boston.

"Whether  the  purposed  journey  was  made  is  douhtful.  At  all  events 
nothing  was  then  discovered. 

But  curiosity  concerning  family  lineage  was  inherited  by  the  posterity 
of  the  fraternal  trio.  One  of  their  grand-children,  Ignace,  born  1808, 
father  of  Judge  Gill,  paid  sixteen  dollars  in  New  England  for  a  book- 
rarity,  which  he  loaned  and  lost  before  he  had  noted  its  contents  narrosvly. 
According  to  his  reu^embrance  he  read  iu  the  first  pages  that  Samuel  Gill 
was  carried  off  from  Dover  by  the  Abenakis.  His  impression  was  probably 
incorrect,  as  no  book  with  such  a  statement  has  been  discovered  in  the  ex- 
haustive bibliography  of  Dover,  and  since  the  proof  ib  now  conclusive  that 
Samuel  Gill  was  not  made  captive  there.  However  this  may  be,  the  pur- 
chase by  Ignace  attests  the  transmission  of  genealogiial  zeal,  and  his  false 
memory  regarding  Dover  gave  it  a  local  direction  which  led  at  last  to  the 
truth. 

la  1866,  the  Abbe  Maurault  published  his  voluminous  work  on  the 
Abenakis, — the  tribe  by  which  the  child  Gill  had  been  carried  off.  The 
Gill  history,  as  there  given,  abounds  iu  inventions  pure  and  simple.  It  is 
there  stated  that  the  captive  was  taken  in  Gilltown,  Mass.,  which  had  been 
founded  by  his  father,  sou  of  a  Corporal  Gill,  who  had  emigrated  from 
England  about  1  670.  The  age  of  the  abducted  boy  is  set  down  as  fourteen 
years,  and  the  route  of  his  captors  is  specihed.  This  romancing  of  Mau- 
rault roused  Charles,  a  son  of  Ignace  Gill,  born  18i4-,  to  renew  the  lineage 
hunt,  or  at  least  heightened  his  zeal  in  that  quest.  This  gentleman,  a 
lawyer  by  profession,  and  now  a  Judge  of  the  Superior  Court  at  iNIoutreal, 
knew  that  the  town  of  Gill  is  not  yet  a  hundred  years  old.  and  he  was  every 
way  more  competent  than  his  predecessors  for  the  work  he  undertook. 

The  new  investigator  found  conllicting  testimonies  concerning  the  era 
when  bis  ancestor  arrived  in  Canada.  According  to  writings,  connected 
with  the  Governor's  commendatory  letter,  that  coming  was  about  the  year 
1688.  But,  as  standard  histories  relate,  in  1703  the  Abenakis  ravaged  the 
New-England  coast,  from  Elaine  to  the  gates  of  Boston ;  and  so  would  pasa 
by  Dover — the  only  place  there  was  any  reason  to  consider  to  have  been 
the  home  of  the  captive.  Judge  Gill  was  disposed  to  lis  the  date  o^ 
captivity  between  1700  and  1710.  The  name  Sagen,  given  iu  the  writing 
of  1768  to  the  father  of  the  captive,  the  Judge  became  sati?lied  was  a 
corruption,  in  Canadian  pronunciation,  of  the  title  sergeant.  He  rejected 
the  date  1G88,  which  was  indicated  in  the  written  document  as  the  year 
of  captivity,  because  the  captive  married  young.  But,  if  that  date  were 
correct,  bis  age  at  marriage  was  thirty-four  years  at  least,  his  first  child 
being  born  iu  1716.  The  tradition  that  the  captive  survived  till  17-38, 
Judge  Gill  also  rejects.  Had  he  been  alive  in  1704:,  he  muct  have  been 
mentioned  in  the  detailed  narrative  of  the  captive  Mrs.  Johnson,  who  in 
that  year  abode  for  a  mouth  uuder  the  same  roof  where,  if  living,  he  mast

have  made  his  home,  and  would  have  spoken  to  her  in  her  own  language 
better  dum  any  octiers  with  whom  she  had  intercourse. 

In  1887,  Judge  Gill  printed,  in  French,  the  processes  and  results  of  his 
research, — Notes  Illstoriqnes — a  booklet  of  ninety-six  pages.  In  this  work, 
he  confesses  a  great  lack  of  certitude  as  to  the  time  when,  and  the  place 
whence,  his  ancestor  had  entered  Canada. 

A  year  or  two  after  issuing  his  Notes,  Judge  Gill  became  acquainted 
with  Frof.  J.  D.  Butler,  of  Madison.  Wis.,  and  JMiss  C.  Alice  Baker,  of 
Cambridge,  INIass.  Through  them  he  learned  something  of  what  he  had 
desiderated.  Thus  it  was  shown,  by  those  persons,  that  among  the  children 
of  John  Gill  resident  at  Salisbury.  Mass..  there  was  a  Saunuel,  born  1652, 
and  that  this  Samuel  became  entitled  to  write  himself  '"in  any  bill,  warrant, 
quittance,  or  obligt,:'on, — Sergeant."  It  was  also  made  manifest  that 
among  the  nine  children  of  Sergeant  Samuel  there  was  a  son  Samuel,  born 
Sept.lO,  1687. 

Moreover,  the  Salisbury  records  mention  only  the  birth  of  Samuel,  while 
chronicling  the  marriages  and  deaths  of  his  eight  brothers  and  sisters. 
But  Miss  Baker  discovered  that,  in  1695,  when  Samuel  was  eight  years 
old,  nine  captives  were  taken  at  Newbury,  but  were  pursued  by  a  rescuing 
party  "who  brought  them  all  back  save  one  boy  that  was  killed";  or,  as 
another  account  ran,  "all  the  captives  but  one  which  they  doubt  is  killed." 

Though  the  Gills  lived  in  Salisbury  and  this  attack  was  made  in  New- 
bury, it  seemed  not  incredible  that  the  missing  boy  was  Samuel  Gill;  since 
the  towns  lay  side  by  side.  The  boy,  too,  might  have  been  caught  away 
from  home.  Dover  also,  only  thirty  miles  away,  was  so  near  that  the  re- 
port of  the  captive's  coming  from  there  was  nothing  strange. 

But  Miss  Baker  further  found,  in  the  diary  of  Rev.  John  Pike,  minister' 
at  Dover,  a  native  ot  Salisbury,  this  record:  "June  10,  1697,  John  Young 
of  Exiter  slain  by  ye  Indians  his  son  wounded,  Luke  Wells  &  a  lad  at 
Salsbury  the  same  day  Carried  away."*  That  lad,  one  would  think,  micfht 
well  have  been  the  young  Samuel  Gill. 

On  the  whole,  Judge  Gill  was  so  satisfied  with  the  new  particulars, 
thickening  other  proofs  which  did  demonstrate  thinly,  that  in  1889  he  printed 
them  in  a  pamphlet  of  thirty  pages,  as  a  second  part  of  his  family  notes. 

One  link  was  still  wanting  to  complete  the  genealogical  chain,  and  turn 
its  insensate  metal  into  a  thrilling  electric  circle.  That  link  is  now  no 
longer  missing.  The  Massachusetts  Archives  (vol.  Ixx.  p.  469),  as  was 
learned  through  Miss  Buker,  show  the  petition  on  June  6,  1700,  of  Ser- 
geant Samuel  Gill,  of  Salisbury,  to  the  Governor  and  Council,  "that  they 
will  take  effectual  measures  for  the  redemption  of  his  son,  Samuel  Gill, 
carried  captive  by  the  Indians  to  Canada,  about  three  years  before." 
When  the  petition  was  read,  three  years  wanting  three  days  had  elapsed. 
But  effectual  measures  were  not  promptly  taken,  and  hence  asecoml  petition, 
for  action  "  with  all  speed,"  was  presented  by  Sergeant  Gill.  May  29,  1701. 

It  had  always  been  a  family  tradition,  embodied  in  a  written  paper  as 
early  as  1768,  that  Sergeant  Gill  had  more  tlian  once  through  agents  sent 
to  Canada  a  ransom  for  his  son,  but  that  the  boy,  preferring  life  among  the 
aborigines,  refused  to  return  to  his  father's  house.  Adopted  as  the  son  of 
the  tribal  chief,  he  at  length  became  the  chief  himself.  His  first  wife, 
ancestress  of  the  Judge,  was  a  captive  from  Maine.  Through  her,  and  an 
Indian  wife  after  her  death,  his  offspring  were  so  numerous  that  a  large 
majority  of  the  Abenakis  now  claim  to  have  his  blood  in  their  veins.     Thus

receiving,  thanks  to  the  insight  of  Jliss  Baker,  "  his  wish,  exactly  to  his 
heart's  desire,"  the  culminating  key-stone  in  his  genealoijical  arch,  Judge 
Gill  has  lost  no  time  in  committing  his  last  discovery,  rounding  out  all  that 
had  gone  before  into  completeness,  to  the  custody  of  the  art  which  pre- 
serves all  arts.  In  ^larch,  1S92.  he  published  the  tiiird  instalment  of  his 
lineage  notes  with  the  autograph  of  his  new-found  ancestor.  He  muse 
have  cried  eureka  with  something  of  the  rapture  which  ran  through 
Archimedes. 

His  proiluction  in  all  its  parts  is  full  of  minutite,  curious  and  suggestive. 
But,  in  the  present  notice,  the  sole  aim  has  been  to  trace  in  it  the  hunt  of 
a  Japhet  in  search  of  his  father.  The  Gill  chase  is  of  such  a  nature  as  to 
encourage  others,  who  have  applied  themselves  to  consider  the  days  of  old 
in  their  family  annals ;  but  whose  way  is  hedged  up,  and  who  thus  far, 
after  endeavors  oft  renewed  but  still  baffled,  find  no  end,  in  wandering 
mazes  lost.  It  also  adds  an  unexpected  illustration  to  the  legion  already 
furnished,  attesting  the  value  of  the  Massachusetts  Archives  and  the  need 
of  their  publication.

A  memorial  of  like  character  to  the  above,  and  nearly  the  same  in  phraseolojry. 
was  presented  to  the  General  Court,  by  Mr.  Goulding,  several  years  prior, 
nameh',  Dec.  12.  1734,  but  it  was  dismissed. 

The  petitioner  produced  testimonials  from  Joseph  Freson.  of  Brimfield,  July 
10,  1733,  and  Joseph  Frost,  of  the  same  tovrn.  Auijust  2Sth  of  that  year,  who 
had  been,  a.s  they  alleged,  speedily  and  effectually  cured  of  rattle-snake  bites, 
on  their  own  persons.  Freson  says,  "  in  an  hour  or  two  I  seemed  to  be  well  "  ; 
the  remedy,  "  a  small  root,  the  bigness  of  a  walnut."  Jacob  Holmes,  John 
Gray,  Jr.  [?]  John  Durkin,  all  of  Worcester,  of  the  respective  dates  Nov.  2-t, 
25.  26,  1734,  testified  to  its  successful  application  on  the  bodies  of  ahorse,  a 
heifer,  and  a  steer. 

Capt.  Palmer  Goulding.  the  15th  child  of  Peter  and  Sarah  Goulding,  was  of 
Sudbury.  Mass..  July  17,  1722.  when  he  made  a  conveyance  to  "John  Biglo," 
of  Marlboro",  his  interest  in  "  land  situated  in  the  north  part  of  Worcester,  to 
which  town  he  removed  the  next  year."  •'  and  there  carried  on  the  business  of 
tannins:,  shoeraak'i.Lr,  making  malt,  curing  hams  vie.  on  an  extended  scale  for 
his  day."  '•  Tradition  represents  him  and  his  children  to  have  been  of  extreme 
size,  very  ingenious,  and  '  capable  of  doing  any  thing.' "  He  was  "  on  a  committee 
to  seat  the  meetinir,  and  was  included,  with  Adam  Winthrop,  Esq.,  Judge 
Thomas  Palmer  and  13  others  of  the  aristocracy  to  whom  pews  were  allowed. 
In  172G  and  '2D,  he  was  chosen  constable;  selectman  in  1730,  "31,  and  '37-. 
treasurer  in  '38,  and  assessor  m  '32,  "33  and  "30."  "  He  was  at  the  capture  of 
Louisbnrg,  June  17,  1745,  in  command  of  a  company,"  was  largely  concerned  in 
purchasino:  and  disposinu  of  real  estate.  He  married  at  Concord.  Dec.  4,  1722, 
Abigail  Kice,  who  died  at  Holden,  Feb.  17.  1773,  aged  70;  had  10  children, 
names  given  in  Morse's  Ancient  Puritans,  vol.  i.,  page  200,  from  which  work 
the  above  facts  are  gleaned.  Mr.  Goulding  died  "at  Holden,  Feb.  11,  1770, 
aged  75,  and  was  interred  at  "Worcester." 


HENRY  CRANE  OF  DORCHE.STER,   MASS.,   AND   SOME   OF 

HIS  DESCENDANTS. 

Compiled  by  Miss  Emily  Wilder  Leavitt,  of  Boston,  Mass. 

The  Braintree,  Mass.,  Town  Records  of  16-iO,  state  that  James  Penni- 
man,  Thomas  Matosan,  Stephen  Kiusley.  Gregory  Baxter,  Samuel  Crane 
and  William  Cheseborough  were  elected  to  administer  town  afFuirs.  This 
is  the  first  association  in  those  records  of  the  names  of  Kinsley  and  Crane, 
and  here  is  all  there  is  of  Samuel  Crane.  Whence  he  came,  whither  he 
went,  who  can  tell? 

In  1654,  Stephen  Kinsley,  who  was  at  Mount  Wollaston.  Mass.,  in 
1639,  with  his  sons-in-law,  Anthony  Gulliver  and  Henry  Crane,  were 
settled  on  adjacent  farms  in  that  part  of  Dorchester  which  was,  later, 
incorporated  as  3Iilton. 

Hexrt'  Crane,  who  was  born  about  1621,  probably  in  England,  had 
married  Tabitha,  a  "laughter  of  Stephen  Kinsley,  and  had  purchased  a  farm 
of  one  hundred  and  twenty  acres  of  land;  with  its  house  standing  on  the 
road  which  was,  according  to  the  selectmen's  records  of  Dorchester,  of  1. 
7.  1654,  '•  on  a  way  laid  out  t'lrough  Dorchester  woods,  from  Braintree 
bounds  to  Roxljury  bounds;  beginning  near  Henrye  Crane's  house:  the 
way  to  lie  south  west  of  it,  on  the  old,  beaten  road  wave."  This  was  the 
first  road  over  Milton  Hill  and  was  laid  out  from  Braintree,  now  Quincy. 
By  this  we  learn  that  Fdenry  Crane  bad  l)een  settled  there  for  some  time; 
bat  the  date  of  his  marriage  and  the  birth  of  his  first  two  children  were  not 
entered  on  tlie  town  books;  the  first  that  we  find  being  the  birth  of  his 
tiiird  child,  John,  in  1658.

In  Massacliusetts  Archives,  vol.  30,  p.  239,  there  is  an  autograph  letter 
of  Henry  Crane  dated  May  7,  1G77.  It  is  written  in  tine,  clear,  flowing 
lines,  and  both  composition  and  spelling  show  that  he  must  have  received 
some  scholarly  training.  It  was  a  reply  to  an  order  from  the  General 
Court.  "Ileuery  Crane  hath  three  Indian  Servants,  one  man.  one  woman 
and  one  child,  which  you  have  ordered  to  be  sent  away.  The  man  has 
been  at  Noddle's  Island  for  one  month;  and  your  petitioner  hath  not  had 
any  opportunity  to  dispose  of  them,  unless  he  should  give  them  away."  He 
then  pleads  fur  two  mouths'  delay  that  he  may  make  the  best  advantage  of 
them. 

Shortly  after  this  the  General  Court  summoned  Henry  Crane  to  show 
evidence  why  lands  at  '*  Blew  Hills "  should  not  be  disposed  of  at  its 
pleasure. 

He  was  chiefly  a  husbandman;  yet  with  a  tendency  to  land  speculation. 
In  1G83.  "  Henry  Crane,  of  Milton,  bought  land  of  Moses  Payu,  innholder, 
at  the  south  end  of  Boston,  which  said  Moses  Payn  bought  of  Henry 
Phillips,  butcher,  and  was  bounded,  east  by  the  highway  to  Itoxbury,  south 
by  Tiiomas  Smith's  land,  now  Andrew  Belcher's,  northerly,  by  th^  land 
belonging  to  Tlieophilus  Frary's  heirs;  together  with  the  beach,  and  the 
flats  to  the  seaward;  "  whilst  his  later  years  were  much  employed  in  giving 
and  reducing  mortgages  on  his  possessions.  He  was  one  of  the  selectmen 
of  Milton  in  1G79.  16S0  and  1681,  and  was  one  of  the  trustees  of  the  first 
meeting-house  built  in  Milton. 

His  first  wife,  Tabitha  (Kinsley)  Crane,  died  shortly  after  ICBl,  and  he 

married,  second,  about  1083,  Elizabeth ,  who  survived  him;  he  died

THE  FIRST  CHURCH  FOUNDED  BY  NEW-ENGLAND 
PEOPLE  IN  KINGS  COUNTY,  NOVA  SCOTIA. 

By  Rev.  Arthur  Wentwokth  Hamiltox  Eatov,  of  New  York  City. 

The  first  settlers  in  Kings  County,  Nova  Scotia,  after  the  expulsion  of 
the  Acadians,  landed  at  the  mouth  of  the  Gaspereau  sometime  in  17 GO, 
and  the  first  settlers  in  the  township  of  Coruwallis,  so  tradition  says, 
anchored  near  Starr's  Point,  June  4th  of  the  same  year.  It  is  said  that 
the  latter  came  in  a  fleet  of  twenty-two  vessels,  attended  by  a  brig  of  war, 
mounting  sixteen  guns,  captain  Pigot.  They  were  principally  Congrega- 
'tionallsts,  from  Connecticut,  with  the  accumulated  traditions  of  at  least  five 
generations  of  Puritan  ancestors,  and  the  strict  religious  training  of  New 
England's  most  Calvinistic  colony-  The  lands  they  received  lay  on  both 
sides  of  the  Habitant,  now  the  Cornwallis  river,  which  they  made  the 
dividing  line  between  the  two  townships  of  Horton  and  Coruwallis. 

For  five  years  after  their  coming  the  people  of  Cornwallis  were  without 
a  church  or  a  minister,  and  their  religious  destitution  is  very  clearly  indicated 
by  the  following  important  minute  of  the  Council  of  the  Colony  of  Connec- 
ticut, under  date  of  New  Haven,  October  11,  1771.  '•  L^pon  the  memorial 
of  the  Reverend  Solomon  Williams  of  Lebanon,  in  behalf  of  the  Congrefra- 
tional  Church  in  the  town  of  Cornwallis  in  the  Province  of  Nova  Scotia, 
shewing  to  this  Board  that  the  inhabitants  of  said  town  were  settled  there 
in  the  year  1760,  and  continued  five  years  almost  destitute  of  gospel 
administration;  that  they  have  since  by  the  general  desire  of  the  people 
settled  the  Rev.  Mr,  Benajah  Phelps  in  the  gospel  ministry  in  that  town 
with  the  pleasing  prospect  of  a  sutficient  support,  since  which  their  circum- 
stances are  become  very  ditficult  and  distressing,  chiefly  by  means  of  the 
fruits  of  the  earth  being  cut  short  in  1767  and  1768,  and  by  extraordinary 
expense  in  building  a  meeting  house,  and  especially  in  repairing  their  dykes 
to  the  amount  of  near  2000  (£),  which  has  involved  them  so  deeply  in 
debt  that  except  they  can  obtain  relief  by  the  charity  of  their  christian 
brethren  and  friends  in  Connecticut,  the  cause  of  religion  will  greatly 
suffer;  praying  for  a  Brief  &c  as  per  memorial  on  file: 

"  Resolved  by  this  Board  that  the  said  Rev.  Solomon  Williams,  in  behalf 
of  the  church  and  town  of  Cornwallis,  have  liberty  to  ask  the  charitable 
contributions  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  several  religious  societies  in  the 
towns  of  New  London,  Norwich,  Windham,  Lebanon,  Colchester,  Canter- 
bury and  Lyme;  and  said  church  and  inhabitants  of  said  Cornwallis  are 
hereby  recommended  to  their  christian  liberality." 

The  Rev.  Solomon  Williams  was  doubtless  the  former  pastor  of  many  of 
the  Cornwallis  people,  for  not  a  few  of  them  have  recorded  themselves  as 
having  came  from  Lebanon. 

It  would  be  interesting  to  trace  the  growth  of  this  earliest  religious 
movement  in  Cornwallis,  but  we  have  no  facts  or  even  traditions  by  which 
we  may  be  guided.  A  quotation  from  some  ancient  document  of  the 
church  says  that  they  had  a  strong  desire  to  build  "  a  House  for  the 
worship  of  Almighty  God,"  But  the  early  records  of  the  church  have 
disappeared,  and  much  of  what  follows  in  this  paper  has  been  obtained 
with  great  difficulty,  from  many  widely  different  sources.     The  subject  is

of  great  interest,  especially  to  those  whose  ancestors  (like  some  of  my  own) 
were  adhereats  of  this  earliest  Congregational  Church  of  Kings  County. 
Of  interest,  because  as  Carlyle  says  "  the  chief  thing  about  a  man  is  his 
religion — a  man  or  a  nation  of  men;"  and  because,  to  one  who  knows  the 
people  of  this  prosperous  county,  many  of  the  religious  characteristics  of 
their  sturdy  Puritan  ancestors  are  still  apparent  in  them ;  although  Congre- 
gationalism, in  name,  has  almost  disappeared,  and  in  its  place  have  come 
Presbvterianism,  Episcopacy,  Methodism,  and  the  Baptist  denomination. 

The  first  religious  work  in  the  county,  after  Nova  Scotia  became  an  Eng- 
lish province,  was  done  by  clergymen  of  the  English  Church,  acting  under 
the  direction  of  the  Society  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel  in  Foreign 
Parts.  In  1762  the  Rev.  Thomas  Wood  visited  the  "  interior  parts  of  Nova 
Scotia,"  going  twice  to  East  and  AVest  Falmouth,  Cornwallis,  Horton, 
Granville  and  Annapolis;  and  received  a  kindly  welcome  at  each  place. 
The  Ee^.  Joseph  Bennett,  however,  was  the  first  missionary  regularly 
appointed  to  the  townships  of  Horton,  Cornwallis,  Falmouth  and  Newport; 
be  took  up  his  residence  at  Fort  Edward  (Windsor)  in  January,  17G3,  and 
at  once  began  his  laborious  work  in  his  widely  scattered  missionary  field. 
The  population  of  the  four  townships  at  that  time  did  not  exceed  1717 
persons. 

In  1763  a  subscription  was  opened  among  the  church  people  of  Horton 
for  a  church  building,  but  there  was  none  built  until  1776,  when  John 
Burbidge  and  William  Best,  esquires,  both  of  whom  had  formerly  lived  in 
Halifax,  at  their  own  expense  built  a  small  wooden  church  at  Fox  Hill, 
near  Starr's  Point,  whose  foundation  is  still  visible  among  the  old  graves 
iu  the  •'  Fox  Hill  Burying  Ground." 

The  visits  of  the  Church  missionary  to  Horton  and  Cornwallis,  by  reason 
of  the  distance  and  badness  of  the  roads,  did  not  exceed  four  or  five  a  year, 
so  for  some  time  the  Congregational  minister  was  the  only  settled  clergy- 
man in  the  township.  This  minister  was,  as  has  been  stated,  the  Rev. 
Benaiah  Phelps,  and  the  meeting  house  in  which  he  preached,  erected  in 
1767  and  1768,  was  at  Chipman's  Corner,  n^ar  Kentville,  on  a  corner  of 
the  Parade  and  very  near  the  site  of  the  old  French  church  of  '•  River 
Canard."  It  was  from  the  beginning  the  law  that  all  births,  marriages 
and  deaths  should  be  faithfully  recorded  in  the  office  of  the  Town  Clerk,  a 
law  not  very  well  obeyed  and  never  enforced,  and  in  the  case  of  marriage 
registrations  the  name  of  the  officiating  cleygyman  was  frequently  given. 
In  the  Cornwallis  Town  Register,  the  name  of  Benaiah  Phelps  often  occurs, 
spelt  there  however  as  in  the  minute  of  the  Connecticut  council,  above  given, 
and  in  the  Cornwallis  Land  Records,  with  a  j  instead  of  an  i. 

Mr.  Phelps  was  from  Hebron,  Connecticut,  as  the  record  of  his  marriage 
states ;  and  it  has  been  ascertained  that  he  was  graduated  at  Yale  College 
in  1761,  was  settled  at  Manchester,  Connecticut,  in  1780,  and  was  dis- 
missed from  that  church  in  1795,  after  which  he  went  to  Nova  Scotia, 
where  he  died  in  1817,  aged  about  76  years.  If  he  was  76  yeiro  old  when 
he  died,  he  was  born  in  174:1,  and  Hebron  was  probably  his  birthplace. 

The  exact  time  of  his  coming  to  Nova  Scotia  I  have  not  ascertained,  bat 
the  Town  Book,  for  many  years  kept  by  William  Allen  Chipman,  then  by 
"Ward  Eaton,  and  now  by  Stanley  Eaton,  states  that  Phelps  performed  the 
marriage  of  Nathan  Longfellow  and  Margaret  Bigelow  on  the  lOtli  of  Octo- 
ber, 1765.  This  is  the  first  mention  of  his  name  I  find,  and  my  impression  is 
that  he  had  come  to  Cornwallis  a  very  short  time  before,  an  impression 
Btreugtheued  by  the  fact  that  the  Rev.  Joseph  Bennett,  the  first  missionary 


1892.]      Church  of  yew- England  People  in  j^ova  Scotia.    221 

of  the  English  Church  appointed  to  the  townships  of  Horton,  Cornwallis, 
Falmouth  and  Newport,  in  a  letter  dated  ■27th  of  January.  17C6,  informs  the 
Society  for  the  Pro[iagation  of  the  Gospel  iu  Foreign  Parts  that  '^  notwith- 
standing the  arrival  of  a  Dissenting  minister  at  Cornwallis.  a  spirit  of 
benevolence  and  harmony  was  kept  up  among  the  people  of  all  persuasions 
who  assemble  together  for  public  worship."  This  would  seem  to  indicate 
that  he  had  only  lately  arrived.  The  following  record  is  taken  verbatim 
from  the  Town  Book: 

"The  Rev.  Benaiah  Phelps  son  of  Nathaniel  Phelps  of  Hebron  in  the 
Colony  of  Connecticut  in  New  England  and  3Iary  his  wife,  was  married 
to  Phebe  Dennison  daughter  of  Col.  Robert  Deuuison  of  Horton  and 
Prudence  his  wife,  November  the  19th,  1766,  by  Rev.  Joseph  Bennett." 

Among  the  births  are  to  be  found  the  names  of  their  children:  Elizabeth 
Phelps,  born  30th  of  August,  1768;  Phebe,  born  7th  of  October,  1770;  Den- 
nison, born  24th  of  September,  1772.  Among  the  marriages  at  which  ?-Ir. 
Phelps  officiated  were  those  of  George  Smith  and  Lucy  Rude,  Oct.  1765; 
Jonathan  Rand  and  Lydia  Strong,  Nov.  12th,  17G6  ;  Perry  Borden  and  ^lary 
Ells,  Oct.  22d,  1767;  Closes  Gore  and  Molly  Newcomb,  Jan.  26th,  1769; 
Cyrus  Peck  and  Mary  English,  Oct.  11th,  1770;  John  English  and  Christina 
Cogswell,  Oct.  31st,  1771;  Mason  Cogswell  and  Lydia  Huntington,  Oct. 
31st.  1771 ;  Ezra  Pride  and  Lydia  Bigelow.  Jan.  30th,  1772;  Peter  Pineo 
and  Eunice  Bentley,  ]May  14th.  1772;  Ahira  Calkin  and  Irena  Porter, 
Dec.  24th,  1772;  Dan  Pineo  and  Anna  Bentley,  Oct.  21st,  1773;  Oliver 
Cogswell  and  Abigail  Ells,  Dec.  23d,  1773;  \Yilliam  Pineo  and  Phel)e 
Bentlev,  July  18th,  1766;  William  Allen  Chipman  and  Ann  Osborn,  Nov. 
20th,  1777. 

This  is  the  latest  date  at  which  I  can  be  certain  of  Phelps  having  been 
in  the  province.  He  had  formally  received  from  Lord  William  Campbell, 
acting  for  the  crown,  his  grant  of  land,  the  26th  of  Sept.,  1769.  and  he  con- 
veyed it  to  John  Robinson  July  1st,  1775.  This  grant  of  6663.  acres  was 
one  of  the  original  69f  shares  granted  by  government  July  21st,  1761,  and 
was  made  to  the  first  minister  of  the  township,  whoever  he  might  be.  The 
location  of  the  lands  can  at  any  time  be  ascertained  by  consulting  the  land 
records  in  the  office  of  the  Registry  of  Deeds,  where  there  is  a  full  descrip- 
tion of  them. 

Mr.  Phelps'  ministry  ended  unpleasantly.  At  this  interval  of  time  it  is 
impossible  to  know  just  what  the  trouble  was  which  dissolved  his  pastoral 
relations,  but  the  name  is  known  of  at  least  one  of  the  adherents  of  the 
church,  Mr.  Samuel  Starr,  who  was  instrumental  in  having  him  removed. 
With  the  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  his  property  he  went  back  to  New 
England,  and  according  to  the  record  of  his  life  found  in  the  L'nited  .States, 
was  settled  at  Manchester.  Connecticut,  in  1780.  It  is  very  probable,  as 
that  record  also  states,  that  he  returned  to  Nova  Scotia,  after  1795,  and  died 
there,  as  that  v,'as  his  wife's  home.  There  seems  to  have  existed  some 
natural  feelingr,  in  Nova  Scotia,  acrainst  his  taking  with  him  the  oroceeds 
of  the  land  he  had  received  from  government  as  first  minister,  and  while 
tradition  concerninfr  his  ministrv  has  almost  died  out,  a  little  tin^e  of 
bitterness  still  remains  in  what  recollections  there  are  of  the  Rev.  Benaiah 
Phelps. 

Rev.  J,  W.  Cox  of  Noel,  Hants  Co.,  a  Congregational  minister,  says: 
"Rev.  Mr.  Phelps  left  the  church  about  the'time  of  the  outbreak  of  the 
Rebellion.  He  sympathized  deeply  with  the  revolting  colonies,  and  was 
poorly  supported,   which  with  other  reasons  doubtless  caused  him  to  return 


222      Church  of  New-England  People  in  Nova  Scotia.      [July, 

to  New  England.  Some  of  the  people  went  with  him,  among  them  my 
ancestor  on  my  mother's  side,  John  Bigelow,  who  had  built  a  large  dyke 
along  the  Canard  River,  which  bears  his  name  to  this  day.  He  left  one 
son.  Amasa,  in  possession  of  his  mountain  property,  who  it  is  supposed 
built  one  of  the  first  saw  mills,  if  not  the  first  in  the  county."  If  Mr. 
Phelps  really  died  and  is  buried  in  Nova  Scotia,  his  grave  is  most  prob- 
ably in  the  old  burying-ground  at  Lower  Horton,  in  the  rear  of  the  Metho- 
dist Church,  near  which  the  Dennisons  (his  wife's  family)  lived. 

In  1770  Mr.  Phelps  took  part  in  the  ordination  of  IMr.  Bruin  R.  Comingo 
in  the  Protestant  Dissenting  Meeting  House  in  Halifax,  known  as  Mather's, 
later  St.  Matthew's.  The  Rev.  James  Murdoch  was  at  that  time  preaching 
in  Horton,  Kings  County,  and  also  at  other  places  across  the  Bay.  The 
church  to  which  Mr.  Phelps  preached  had  its  meeting  house  at  Chipmau's 
Corner,  a  building  used  for  worship  until  about  twenty  years  ago,  when 
it  was  bought  by  the  Hon.  Samuel  Chipman  and  torn  down.  It  was  a 
large  square  edifice,  unpainted,  and  with  no  claim  to  architectural  grace  or 
beauty.  It  contained  four  tiers  of  pews,  beside  the  wail  pews,  and  would 
seat  perhaps  a  thousand  persons.  It  had  a  high  square  pulpit  and  a  canopy 
sounding  board;  the  frame  of  the  building  was  brought  somewhere  from 
New  England,  possibly  from  Machias,  Maine,  whence  the  frames  of  the 
old  gambrel-roofed  houses  on  Church  Street  are  said  to  have  been  brought. 

It  stood,  as  has  been  said,  on  a  corner  of  the  Parade,  near  the  site  of  the 
old  French  Church  of  River  Canard;  on  land  originally  laid  out  to  Samuel 
Starr,  and  probably  given  by  him  to  the  town  for  a  Parade.  The  burying 
ground  and  church  lot  were  taken  from  this  Parade  ground. 

Whether  Mr.  Phelps  at  first  preached  in  Horton  as  well  as  Cornwallis, 
we  cannot  tell.  His  church  was  called  the  "  Church  at  Horton  and  Corn- 
wallis," but  that  may  have  been  only  because  the  western  boundary  be- 
tween the  two  townships  was  not  very  well  defined,  or  because  the  people 
settled  near  Horton  Corner  (afterward  Kentville)  were  naturally  adher- 
ents of  the  Cornwallis  church.  It  is  very  likely  that  he  did  occasiouaJly 
preach  in  Lower  Horton,  to  the  people  who  in  1767  became  members  of 
the  congregation  of  the  Rev.  James  Murdoch,  the  first  Presbyterian  min- 
ister in  the  county,  for  in  that  part  of  the  township  of  Horton  Mr.  Phelps 
got  his  wife.  The  people  of  Horton  were  not,  however,  as  were  the 
people  of  Cornwallis,  entirely  without  preaching.  Dr.  Cramp,  in  his 
unpublished  History  of  the  Baptists,  tells  us  that  in  1763  the  Rev.  Ebenezer 
Moulton,  an  eminent  Baptist  minister  of  South  Brimfield,  Mass.,  came 
from  Yarmouth,  where  he  had  been  for  two  years  previously,  to  Horton, 
where  he  remained  some  time,  probably  a  few  years,  later  returning  to  New 
England,  and  dying  there  in  1783.  Mr.  Bill,  in  his  History  of  the  Baptists, 
says  that  during  Mr.  Moultou's  time  a  church  was  formed  in  Horton,  consisting 
of  Ba[)tists  and  Congregationalists,  but  that  the  church  had  little  prosperity 
until  it  was  revived  under  the  preaching  of  INIr.  Alliue.  The  organization 
of  a  Baptist  church  in  Horton,  with  Mr.  Alline's  assistance,  is  a  matter  of 
history,  and  is  a  subject  of  sufficient  interest  to  be  treated  in  a  separate  paper. 
The  meeting  house  in  which  Mr.  Murdoch  preached  was  situated  at  Grand 
Pre,  almost  on  the  site  of  the  present  Methodist  church,  in  the  rear  of 
which  are  the  graves  of  some  of  the  first  settlers.  It  was  removed,  and  a 
new  one  built  about  the  year  1817.  The  meeting  house  of  Elder  Moul- 
ton's  church  was  built  at  what  is  now  Wolfville,  very  near  where  the  Rev. 
Theodore  Harding's  grave  was  afterward  made,  in  the  old  burying-ground 
beside  the  main  street  of  the  village.     It  was  used  in  the  week  for  secular

meetings,  and  on  Sundays  for  worship,  and  was  replaced  in  1820  by  a  better 
one  on  the  same  spot,  which  in  its  turn  gave  way  to  another  at  the  foot  of 
the  College  Hill.  The  distance  between  these  two  places  of  worship  was 
about  four  miles. 

For  some  time  after  the  departure  of  the  Rev,  Benaiah  Phelps  from  Corn- 
wallis,  the  Congregational  church  was  vacant,  hardly  knowing  where  to  look 
for  a  minister,  aud  no  doubt  greatly  distressed  at  the  absence  of  regular 
religious  services.  Communication  was  broken  with  the  revolting  colonies, 
and  there  had  never  been  any  connection  with  the  English  Indei)endent3. 
It  is  possible  that  tuere  may  have  been  some  Presbyterians  among  the 
Cornwallis  people,  as  there  were  probably  some  in  Horton.  At  any  rate, 
the  difference  between  the  two  bodies  was  not  deemed  sufficient  to  prevent 
the  Cornwallis  church,  with  other  churches  in  the  Province,  from  applying 
to  the  Associate  Synod  for  Presbyterian  missionaries  to  labor  with  them. 
It  was,  however,  rather  the  scarcity  of  ministers  than,  as  is  sometime  stated, 
the  predominance  of  Presbyterian  sentiment,  that  led  these  Congregational 
churches  to  invite  Scotch  Presbyterian  ministers  to  become  their  pastors. 
The  first  application  made  by  a  Nova  Scotia  church  to  the  Secession  Church 
of  Scotland  for  a  missionary  was  presented  to  the  Associate  Synod  at  their 
meeting  in  ^lay,  17 65,  aud  it  came  from  the  church  at  Truro.  The  Rev. 
Samuel  Kinloch  and-  the  Rev.  James  Lyon,  the  former  of  whom  had 
preached  in  Pennsylvania  and  the  latter  in  New  Jersey,  had  for  some  time, 
althougb  possibly  not  contemporaneously,  labored  at  various  places  in 
Nova  Scotia,  but  had  left  the  Province.  With  these  exceptions  the  Rev. 
James  Murdoch  was  the  first  Presbyterian  minister  settled  in  Nova  Scotia. 
He  was  ordained  by  the  Presbytery  of  New  Town,  Limavady,  Ireland, 
in  September,  1776,  and  sent  directly  to  Nova  Scotia.  He  arrived  at 
Halifax  the  same  autumn,  and  for  a  short  time  preached  to  the  Congrega- 
tional Mather's  (St.  Matthew's)  church  there.  In  1767  he  removed  to- 
Eorton  and  prei-ched  there  and  at  Windsor,  as  also  at  Parrsboro',  Fort 
Lawrence,  Amherst,  Cumberland,  Economy  and  other  places,  until  a^ 
few  years  before  1799,  when  he  removed  to  Musquouoboit.  He  was 
drowned  the  21st  of  September,  1799,  at  Meagher's  Grant.  When  Mr. 
Phelps  left  Cornwallis  Mr.  iSIurdoch  was  still  in  Horton,  and  among  his 
adherents  were  many  of  the  leading  Horton  families:  the  Dennisons,  Reeds, 
Fullers,  Woodworths,  Frames,  DeWolfs,  Martins.  Dicksons,  Davisons, 
Pecks,  Currys,  Whitneys,  Calkins,  Godfreys,  Averys,  Cranes,  &c.  &c.  &c. 
From  this  period,  therefore,  we  may  regard  the  Cornwallis  church  as 
entirely  separated  from  the  church  in  Horton.  The  immediate  successor 
of  Mr.  Phelps  in  its  pastorate  was  the  Rev.  Hugh  Graham,  who  came  to 
it  in  August,  1785,  and  remained  with  it  until  1799,  a  period  of  fourteen 
years. 

There  seem  to  have  been  repeated  applications  from  Nova  Scotia  to  the 
Glasgow  Associate  Synod,  for  ministers,  and  the  Rev.  Hugh  Graham  was 
sent  in  response  to  an  urgent  call  from  the  Cornwallis  church.  There 
were  at  that  time,  besides  Mr.  iNIurdoch,  only  two  Presbyterian  ministers 
in  Nova  Scotia — the  Rev.  Daniel  Cock  at  Truro,  and  the  Rev.  David  Smith 
at  Londonderry.  Mr.  Graham  was  licensed  to  preach  by  the  Presbytery 
of  Edinburgh  in  1781  ;  he  at  once  received  a  call  to  South  Shields,  ia  the 
north  of  England,  but  the  Synod  thought  best  that  he  should  go  to  Nova 
Scotia,  and  accordingly  he  sailed  from  Greenock  the  2id  of  June,  17S5, 
and  arrived  at  Halifax  about  two  months  after.  Thence  he  proceeded  to 
Cornwallis,  and  preached  his  first  sermon  there  to  a  large  audience  on  Sun-

224       Church  of  N^eio- England  People  in  JVbva  Scotia.     [July, 

tlay,  August  29tli.  His  ministry  of  fourteen  years  is  said  to  have  been,  on 
the  whole,  a  successful  and  happy  one.  The  Cornwallis  Town  Records 
contain  the  notices  of  many  marriages  performed  by  him,  among  others 
those  of  Prince  Coffin  and  Experience  Ells,  January  8,  1788;  Andrew 
Newcomb  and  Sarah  Chase.  December  22,  1791;  George  Cummings  and 
Rebecca  Dickie,  January  22,  1795. 

He  was  himself  married  to  Elizabeth  Whidden,  daughter  of  John  and 
Elizabeth  Whidden,  by  the  Rev%  Daniel  Cock  of  Truro,  December  15, 
1791 ;  they  had  children,  Hugh,  born  November  21.  1702;  John  Whidden, 
born  February  22,  1795;  Elizabeth,  born  June  18,  1798. 

Before  Mr.  Graham's  departure  from  Scotland,  the  Synod  had  issued  an 
injunction  that  so  soon  as  he  should  reach  his  destination,  the  two  ministers 
who  were  already  in  Nova  Scotia,  Mr.  Cock  and  Mr.  Smith,  should  con- 
stitute themselves  into  a  Presbytery  along  with  Mr.  Graham.  This  was 
done  at  Truro  in  August,  1786.  and  the  Presbytery  was  called  the  '•Asso- 
ciate Presbytery  of  Truro."  Their  standards  were  the  same  as  those  of 
the  Presbyterian  churches  of  Scotland,  and  at  a  subsequent  meeting  they 
declared  themselves  *'  subordinate  to  the  Burgher  Associate  Synod  in  North 
Britain."  This  date,  August.  178G,  was  therefore  the  date  of  the  formal 
change  of  the  Cornwallis  church  from  Congregationalism  to  Presbyterian- 
ism,  and  one  elderly  Presbyterian  lady  tells  me  that  long  afterward  some 
members  of  the  church  are  reported  to  have  said  that  they  hardly  knew 
what  they  were,  Presbyterians  or  Congregationalists. 

In  an  old  pamphlet  written  by  the  late  Rev.  William  Somerville,  in  which 
be  severely  censures  the  church  and  its  then  minister,  I  find  this  charge 
made,  which  to  any  reader  of  my  sketch  of  the  Congregational  origin  of 
the  church  will  not  seem  strange,  nor,  unlikely,  true.  The  church,  he 
says,  "  up  till  late  days,  refused  to  know  any  distinction  among  Presby- 
terians; to  testify  their  disapprobation  of  division  stood  divided  from  every 
Presbyterian  body  in  the  empire;  and  conducted  their  affairs  more  upon 
Congregational  than  Presbyterian  principles." 

Mr.  Graham's  work  in  Cornwallis  ended  in  1799,  when  he  received  and 
accepted  a  call  from  the  united  congregations  of  Stewiacke  and  Musquodo- 
boit.  He  died  in  April,  1829,  in  his  75th  year,  having  labored  in  Nova 
Scotia  for  the  long  period  of  -44  years.  The  cause  of  his  leavino'  the 
church  in  Cornwallis  was  its  unwillingness  to  use  the  Presbyterian  version 
of  the  Psalms,  iustead  of  Watts's  Psalms  and  Hymus.  He  made  several 
attempts  to  introduce  the  Scotch  book,  but  the  people  were  inflexible, 
and  although  they  were  attached  to  their  minister,  they  loved  better  their 
old  Congregational  Hymn  Book,  and  preferred  to  lose  the  former  rather 
than  the  latter. 

Mr.  Graham's  successor  in  the  pastorate  was  the  Rev.  William  Forsyth, 
whom  he  introduced  Co  the  congregation  before  he  left.  Mr.  Forsyth  was  a 
licentiate  of  the  Church  of  Scotland,  ordained  by  a  college  of  lay  elders  in 
the  United  States,  and  was  the  minister  of  the  Cornwallis  church  from  1799 
till  his  death  in  18i0.  The  first  marriage  I  find  recorded  as  having  been 
celebrated  by  him  is  that  of  Peter  Beiitley  Piueo  and  Olive  Comsrock, 
September  2,  1802.  He  was  himself  married  to  Mary  Beckwith,  daughter 
of  Asa  and  Mary  Beckwith,  born  February  6.  1781.  by  whom  he  had  seven 
children :  Mary,  who  became  the  first  wife  of  Rev.  George  Struthers ; 
William,  who  became  a  physician  and  died  unmarried;  Jean,  who  became

John  Morton;  Margaret,  who  was  still  living  unmarried  iul885;  Bezaleel, 
who  married  first  Miss  Tupper,  second  Miss  Oakes ;  Elizabeth,  who  died 
unmarried. 

In  the  agreement  made  with  Mr.  Forsyth,  it  was  expressly  stated  that 
the  people  should  still  continue  to  use  "Watts's  hymns,  which  they  did  dur- 
ing his  whole  pastorate.  He  was  not  only  the  minister  of  the  church,  but 
the  teacher  of  many  of  the  sons  of  the  Cornwallis  men,  and  his  school  was 
the  leading  grammar  school  in  the  western  part  of  the  Province.  The 
Cornwallis  people  tell  of  him,  that  ouce  he  said  to  a  prominent  farmer, 
whose  dnll  son  he  had  beeu  trying  unsuccessfully  vO  teach :  "  Your  boy 
cannot  learn ;  it  is  no  use  for  him  to  try."  '•  Manure  (inure)  him  to  it," 
said  the  father,  "manure  him  to  it."  "'Alack,  alas,  maul"  said  the  old 
Scotch  minister,  "if  I  were  to  put  all  the  manure  in  your  barnyard  on 
him  he  coulJ  not  learn." 

Among  those  who  were  educated  by  "'  Parson  Forsyth  "  were  the  three 
sons  of  Dr.  Isaac  Webster — Dr.  William,  Dr.  Frederick,  and  Henry  B. ; 
John  and  AYilliam  Robertson  of  Annapolis  County,  Dr.  Samuel  Bayard, 
H.N.  Chipman,  J.  Hosterman  DeWolf,  Peter  Delancey,  Edward  Beckwith, 
George  E.  Morton  and  others. 

Mr.  Forsyth's  active  ministry  ended  some  four  or  five  years  before  his 
death,  although  he  still  remained,  nominally,  pastor  of  the  church.  In 
1827  the  Rev.  George  Struthers — who  was  afterward  married  to  his  eldest 
daughter,  Mary,  by  the  Rev.  John  Martin,  of  Halifax,  January  28,  1830 — 

were  sent  from  Scotland  by  the  Lay  Association,  and  the  Rev. 3Ior- 

rison,  as  missionaries  to  Nova  Scotia.  Mr.  Struthers  came  at  once  to  Horton, 
and  Mr.  Morrison  went  to  Dartmouth  and  later  to  Bermuda.  Mr.  Forsyth 
needing  assistance,  Mr.  Struthers  preached  for  some  time,  once  a  mouth, 
in  Cornwallis,  but  shortly  after  his  marriage  went  to  Demerara,  whence 
he  returned  by  an  invitation  from  the  Cornwallis  church,  sent  him  through 
Dr.  Isaac  Webster,  to  become  its  pastor.  In  the  meantime  the  Rev. 
William  Somerville,  ordained  May  31,  1831,  by  the  Reformed  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Ireland,  was  settled  over  the  Horton  church,  and  was  at 
the  same  time  engaged  to  give  a  quarter  of  his  time  to  the  church  in  Corn- 
wallis. He  had  been  previously  settled  in  Amherst,  but,  in  response  to 
the  call  from  these  two  churches,  he  began  work  in  his  new  field  April  1, 
1833.  In  August,  1835,  Mr.  Struthers  returned  from  Demerara,  and  took 
Mr.  Somerville's  place  in  Cornv."allis,  becoming  sole  pastor  on  che  death 
of  Mr.  Forsyth  in  1840.  His  second  wife  was  Eliza  Ann  Davidson,  to 
whom  he  was  married  by  the  Rev.  Donald  Eraser  of  Lunenburg.  His 
ministry  lasted,  as  his  tombstone  records,  for  twenty-one  years,  and  his 
death  occurred  March  17,  1857.  During  the  brief  pastorate  of  3Ir. 
Somerville  the  Watts's  Hymn  Book  was  finally  supplanted  by  the  Presby- 
terian version  of  the  Psalms.  It  it  said  that  this  minister  was  on  his 
wedding  tour  when  he  first  preached  in  Cornwallis,  in  1833,  and  that  in 
his  first  service  he  spoke  against  their  use  of  "  uninspired  hymns,"  which 
was  the  only  thing  about  him  that  displeased  the  congregation.  However, 
they  at  length  yielded  to  his  wish,  and  forever  after,  until  the  congregation 
broke  up,  the  Psalms  of  David  and  the  Scriptural  Paraphrases  in  the 
Presbyterian  version  were  exclusively  used.  The  manse  or  parsonage, 
during  Mr.  Forsyth's  ministry,  was  the  house  which  for  many  years  has 
been  occupied  as  a  Baptist  parsonage,  and  is  now  the  residence  of  the  Rev. 
S.  B.  Kempton.  It  was  sold  in  18i7,  and  a  new  house  built  near  Keutville 
for  the  Rev.  Mr.  Struthers.     Among  the  earliest  elders  of  the  church  vvhora

living  residents  remember,  were  Elkanah  Morton,  Abram  Webster, 
Robert  Kinsman,  and  Abram  Newcomb.  The  oldest  records  of  the  church 
yet  found  are  in  the  hands  of  Edwin  Dickey,  clerk  of  session  for  the  Xorth 
Coruwallis  church,  and  extend  back  to  May  1,  1843.  They  rehxte  the 
facts  of  the  next  pastorate  of  the  church,  that  of  the  Rev.  Vv^illiam 
Murray;  and  record  that  a  call  was  issued  to  the  congregation  of  the  old 
church  to  meet  on  Monday.  December  27,  1858,  at  2  P.  M.,  iu  reference  to 
a  proposed  division  of  the  church. 

An  act  of  legislature  dated  March  30,  1859.  authorizes  a  threefold 
division  of  the  dyke  lauds  owned  by  the  church,  most  of  which  were  be- 
quests, and  the  division  is  minutely  described  iu  the  records. 

Henceforth  the  history  of  the  oldest  church  in  Kings  County,  or  at  least 
in  Cornwallis,  becomes  the  history  of  three  separate  congregations, — the 
Northern,  Southern,  and  Western ;  the  Northern  worshipping  at  Canard, 
the  Southern  at  Kentville,  and  the  Western  at  Lakeville. 

To  this  original  church  and  congregation  belonged  the  ancestors  of  the 
best  known  Coruwallis  families,  the  Starrs,  Woodworths,  Eatous,  Chip- 
mans,  Nevvcombs.  Harrises,  Wellses.  Kinsmans,  d;c.  &c.  Tn  process  of  time 
some  became  f^iiscopaliaus,  some  Presbyterians,  some  Baptists;  while  a 
few,  like  the  Cox  family  of  Kingsport,  remained  as  they  have  always  been, 
staunch  Coucrreuationaliats.

S''.  Your  Letter,  Dated  Quebec,  Octob""  29"",  p""  Henry  Edgar,  one  of 
the  English  Captives,  came  safe  to  me,  on  perusall  whereof  1  am  greatly 
surprised  at  the  matters  contained  therein,  which  are  so  unjustly  repre- 
sented that  I  cannot  satisfy  myself  to  pass  them  by  unanswered.  In  the 
first  place,  as  to  what  you  say  relating  to  the  Death  of  Mr.  Ralle,  the  Jesuit, 
which  you  set  forth  as  so  inhuman  6:  barbarous,  I  seriously  acknowledge 
that  he  was  slain,  amongst  others  of  our  i^uemies,  at  Narrigwalk.  And  it 
he  had  confin'd  himself  to  the  professed  Duty  of  his  Function,  viz'  to  in- 
struct the  Inilians  in  the  Christian  Religion,  had  kept  himself  within  the 
Bounds  of  the  French  Dominions,  &.  had  not  instigated  the  Iudiai.3  to  War 
&  Rapine,  there  might  then  have  been  some  ground  for  complaint,  But 
when,  instead  of  preaching  peace,  Love  &  Friendship,  agreeable  to  the 
Doctrines  of  the  Christian  Religion,  he  has  been  a  constant  «&  Notorious 
Fomenter  &  Incendiary  to  the  Indians  to  kill,  burn,  &  destroy,  as  Hagrantly 
appears  by  many  originall  Letters  &  Manuscripts  I  have  of  his  by  me,  and 
where  in  open  violation  of  an  Act  of  Parliament  of  Great  Britain  &  y* 
Lavves  of  this  Province,  strictly  forbidding  Jesuits  to  reside  or  teach  within 
the  British  Dominions,  he  has  not  only  resided,  but  also  once  &  again

appeared  at  the  head  of  great  Numbers  of  Indians  in  an  hostile  manner, 
threatning  Sc  insulting,  but  as  also  publicking  [publickly]  assaulting  the 
Subjects  of  His  British  Majesty,  I  say,  if,  after  all,  such  an  Incendiary  has 
happeu'd  to  be  slain  in  the  heat  of  Action  among  our  open  and  declared 
Enemies,  surely  none  can  be  blamed  therefor  but  himself,  nor  can  any  safe 
guard  from  you,  or  any  other,  in  such  proceedings,  Justify  him:  And  I 
think  I  have  much  greater  cause  to  comfiJain  that  31''  Willard,  the  Minister 
of  Rutland,  (who  never  had  been  guilty  of  the  Facts  chargeable  upon  Mr 
Ralle,  who  applied  himself  solely  to  the  Preaching  of  the  Gospel),  was  by 
the  Indians  you  sent  to  attack  that  Town,  assaulted,  slain  »fc  scalpt  v&;  his 
scalp  carried  in  Triumph  to  Quebec. 

As  to  the  next  Article  you  mentioned,  That  S*  Georges  "  River  was  in 
the  year  1700,  by  order  of  the  Two  Crowns  mark'd  as  the  bounds  of  the 
English  &  French  Lands,  whereby  it  appeared  that  Penobscot  was  given 
to  you,  &  tliat  one  Lafevre  had  a  right  to  the  Land  thereabouts.  &  that  all 
vessells  paid  a  Duty  to  him,  &  that  Mr  Capon,  Envoy  of  Engl*^  when  K. 
George  came  upon  the  Throne,  went  to  ask  the  Penobscot  Indians  to  Sub- 
mit themselves  to  England,  which  they  refused,"  I  have  no  difficulty  to 
answer  to  each  of  the  afores*^  Points,  &  as  to  the  Last,  relating  to  M'' 
Capon,  you  labour  under  a  very  great  mistake,  to  mention  him  as  an  Envoy 
of  England,  he  being  far  below  any  such  Character,  &  only  an  Inferiour 
Officer,  Comissary  or  Victualler  to  the  Garrison  of  Annapolis,  &  some  time 
after  that  was  taken  &  yielded  up  to  the  English  sent  by  the  Lieut  Gov"" 
of  that  place  to  visit  the  French  Settlements  within  that  district  &  to  require 
the  Oath  of  Allegiance  &  Fidelity  from  them  to  Queen  Anne,  but  he  had 
no  occasion  to  come  and  entice  the  Penobscot  Indians  to  Submit  themselves 
to  EngLnd,  for  they,  as  well  as  the  Narigwalk  Indians  &  many  other 
Tribes  had  done  that  long  before,  even  in  the  year  1693,  at  a  Treaty  with 
gr  -^rm  pijip^^  Gov''  of  this  Proviuce.  by  which  Treaty,  I  can  make  it 
appear  that  they  not  only  submitted  themselves  as  Subjects  to  the  Crown 
of  England  but  also  renounced  the  French  Interest  &  quitted  claims  to  the 
Lands  bought  &  possessed  by  the  English  But  Since  King  George  came 
to  the  Throne  Mr  Capon  has  not  been  in  those  parts  at  all,  as  I  am  in- 
formal b}-  the  People  of  that  Countrey. 

As  to  S'  Georges  River  being  the  Bounds  &  Lef'evres  pretended  Right, 
it  seems  very  wonderfull  you  should  make  any  mention  of  those  things,  or 
lay  any  weiuht  upon  them  at  this  time,  when,  if  the  Case  were  formerly  as 
you  now  represent  it,  which  I  do  not  allow,  all  such  Claim  &  protection  is 
wholly  superceded  &  at  an  end.  whereof  you  may  soon  &,  easily  satisfy 
yourself  by  consulting  the  Treaty  of  Peace  at  Utrecht  concluded  between 
the  Two  Crown[sl  in  the  Year  1713,  by  the  twe[l]fth  Article  whereof  it 
is  provided,  "  That  all  Nova  Scotia  or  L'Acadie  with  its  antient  Boundaries 
&c.  together  with  the  Dominion,  property.  &  possession  of  the  s"^  Isl*^^  lauds 
&  places  &  all  Right  which  the  most  Christian  King,  the  Crown  of  France 
or  any  the  Subjects  thereof  have  hitherto  had  to  the  Isl*^^  Lands  &  places 
db  the  Inhabitants  of  the  same  are  yielded  &  made  over  to  the  Queen  of 
Great  Erittain  &  to  her  Crown  forever."  Now,  by  the  afores''  Resignation, 
the  French  King  quitted  all  Right  not  only  to  the  Lands  but  also  the  In- 
habitants, whetlier  French  or  Indians  or  whatsoever  they  were.  &  trans- 
ferr'd  the  same  to  the  Crown  of  Great  Brittain  for  ever,  wdiereby  you  are 
entirely  cut  off  from  any  claim  to  the  Subjection  of  the  s'^  Indians  from 
thence  forward.

Countrey  of  L'Accadie  to  extend  Westward  by  the  Patent  grauted  to  *  *  * 
*  *  *  though  you  seem  to  be  a  Stranger  to  it. 

"As  to  the  whole  Nation  of  the  Indians  exclaiming  against  some  of  their 
Tribe  as  pretending  they  were  suborned  to  give  Deeds  for  their  Lands,  if 
it  be  matter  of  Fact  that  they  do  so.  which  is  hard  to  be  conceded,  it  is  a 
most  unjust  Imputation  &  must  argue  a  wonderful  deceitfulness  &  self 
contradiction  in  them,  since  they  have  upon  all  Treaties,  when  the  whole 
Tribe  were  together,  constantly  acknowledged  &  submitted  to  the  English 
Titles  &  possessions  which  they  had  by  honor  &  lawfull  Purchase  acquired. 

As  to  the  building  of  Forts  any  where  within  the  Brittish  Dominions.  I 
suppose  you  will  not  Scruple  to  acknowledge  that  the  King  of  Great  Brit- 
tain  has  as  good  a  Right  to  erect  Fortresses  or  places  of  Defence  within 
his  Dominions  as  the  French  King  has  in  his,  &  therefore  when  you  sh.all 
please  to  give  me  Instances  of  the  French  King  applying  himself  to  the 
Indians  for  leave  to  build  a  Fort  or  Forts  for  the  Defence  of  his  Subjects, 
I  shall  then  give  you  a  further  answer  to  that  Argument. 

And  in  the  mean  Time  I  must  tell  you,  We  have  alwaies  treated  the 
Indians  with  Sincerity,  &  never  thought  it  proper  to  make  Apologies  for 
Building  Forts  within  our  own  Jurisdiction  (as  you  insinuate),  but  on  the 
Contrary,  in  all  our  Treaties  with  them  have  asserted  our  undoubted  Right 
so  to  do. 

You  likewise  signify  that  we  must  blame  no  Body  but  our  selves  for  the 
Violence  &  Hostilities  committed  against  our  Nation  by  the  Indians,  but 
Sir,  if  the  Blame  must  ly  where  it  ought,  I  must  impute  their  Outrages, 
falseness  &  111  Conduct  towards  us  not  so  much  to  their  own  Inclinations 
as  to  the  Instigations  of  the  Jesuit  Raile  &  others  under  your  Govern- 
ment, whereof  We  have  had  sufficient  information  from  time  to  time,  as  also 
of  yonr  own  forcing  the  Indians,  against  their  Wills,  upon  our  Fronteirs  to 
destroy  &  cut  off  our  people,  which  cannot  be  otherwise  lookt  upon  than 
as  a  Direct  notorious  violation  of  the  Treaty  of  Peace  at  Utretcht.  Never- 
theless, Sir,  after  all,  I  have  much  greater  Inclination  to  live  in  Amity  & 
good  Correspondence  with  you  than  otherwise.  &  therefore  I  have  sent 
CoP  Sam''  Thaxter,  one  of"^Hi3  Maj"''  Council!  &  Col°  William  Dudley, 
Speaker  of  the  House  of  Represent' %  who  are  commissionated  to  confer

I  desire  you  will  give  Credence  to  them  accordingly.

May  it  please  Your  Honour, 

Yesterday  Cap'  Bane  returned  from  his  March,  he  has  made  no  Dis- 
covery of  the  Enemy  Since  last  Fall,  in  any  part  of  his  March.  He  in- 
forms me,  that  Persumscot  River  and  Sebagook  Pond  was  so  open  that  it 
very  Much  hindred  him  from  getting  to  Madumbessuck  and  the  hunting 
Ground  thereabout.  I  have  sent  for  about  twenty  five  Men  who  are  to 
meet  me  at  Saco  Falls  on  the  eleventh  Instant,  in  Order  to  make  y*  Second 
attempt.  Whom  I  design  shall  march  away  light,  so  that  they  may  get 
there  if  possible.  I  design,  likewise,  another  Party  to  follow  them  up 
Saco  River  to  carry  Provision  with  .Sleds  in  order  for  their  return.  I 
Judge  it  is  Your  Honours  desire  to  Search  that  Ground  Well,  in  order  to 
Intercept  &  Destroy  those  Fellows.  Notwithstanding  Persumscot  River 
and  Sebagook  Pond  was  so  open,  the  other  Ponds  and  Rivers  are  gener- 
ally fast.  I  am  Your  Honours  most  Obedient  Servant,

Enquiry  I  find,  by  the  ColP  of  the  Regiment  and  the  Select  men  of  the 
Town,  that  M''  Sawyers  is  the  Establisht  Garrison,  Their  houses  standing 
not  above  two  or  three  hundred  Yards  Distant.  I  thought  it  best  to  put

five,  and  York  but  three,  York  is  thereupon  uneasy.  I  posted  five  men  at

THE   EXHIBITIONS   OF   HARVARD   COLLEGE    PRIOR

ing the  several  funds  given  to  the  College  for  the  purpose  of  estab-

234  Exhibitions  of  Harvard  College.  [July* 

to  the  year  184(5.  This  statement  was  also  published  in  pamphlet 
form.  The  exhibitions  are  not,  however,  separately  collated  in  any 
of  these  publications.  Tiiere  is  enough  of  historical  interest  con- 
nected with  the  early  exhibitions  to  justify  the  publication  of  a  list 
composed  exclusively  of  beneficiary  trusts  for  students  received  by 
the  College  prior  to  1800,  showing  the  sources  whence  they  came 
and  the  specific  purposes  to  which  their  founders  dedicated  them, 
even  if  such  a  list  should  contain  but  little  information  that  is  new. 

Lady  ^Iowlson  Gift.  The  first  scholarship  at  Harvard  was  founded 
iu  1643  by  Ann  Mowlson  of  London.  Tha  money  was  received  by 
Thomas  Weld,  Pastor  of  the  Roxbury  Church,  whose  authority  iu  this 
behalf  was  derived  from  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts  Bay.  The 
amount  of  t!.e  gift  was  £100,  and  payment  was  made  by  Weld  to  the 
Country  Treasurer.  Interest  on  this  fund  was  paid  to  the  College  by  the 
Colony  until  1685,  when  for  some  reason  it  lapsed;  but  in  1713  payment 
of  principal  and  interest  was  made  to  the  College  Treasurer. 

The  College  is  in  possession  of  a  document  setting  forth  over  the  signa- 
ture of  the  fonu'ler  of  this  scholarship  her  purpose  in  establishing  it.  By 
the  terms  of  this  documeut  it  appears  that  the  yearly  revenue  of  this  fund 
was  "  according  to  her  good  and  pious  intention  "  "  to  be  and  to  remain  a 
perpetual  stipend  for  and  towards  the  perpetual  maintenance  of  some  poor 
scholar  who  shall  be  admitted  into  the  said  College  by  the  said  trustees  or 
the  major  part  of  them,  which  poor  scholar  is  to  enjoy  the  said  yearly 
stipend  only  until  such  time  as  such  poor  scholar  doth  attain  the  degree  of 
a  Master  of  Arts  and  no  longer,  and  then  the  said  yearly  stipend  shall  by 
the  sai<l  trustees  be  bestowed  upon  another  poor  scholar  of  the  said  College 
whom  the  said  trustees  shall  think  best  deserving,  so  the  said  stipend  to 
go  in  succession  from  oue  poor  scholar  lo  another,  therefor  and  towards 
their  j-early  maintenance  in  perpetuum  in  manner  and  form  as  aforesaid." 
Such  facts  as  are  known  relative  to  the  history  of  this  scholarship  are 
published  in  the  Proceedings  of  tlie  American  Antiquarian  Society  for 
October,  1887.  It  is  unquestionably  the  oldest  and  most  interesting 
foundation  of  the  kind  in  this  country.  Its  age  would  entitle  it  to  respect 
even  in  England.*     It  is  unfortunate  that  no  information  as  to  the  founder 

*  Since  the  publication  of  the  paper  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  American  Antiquarian 
Society,  entitled  "The  first  Schohirship  at  Harvard  Colieirc,"  I  have  heen  watchful  for 
anythins  which  might  help  me  in  idfntityiiig  Lady  Mowlson.  I  found  in  Brown's  Genesis 
of  "the  United  States  that  Thomas  Moulson  was  present,  April  15,  1614,  at,  the  Court  of 
Assistants  of  the  Grocers'  Company.  The  fact  that  the  name  is  not  a  common  one,  and  that 
it  occured  in  connection  with  American  vt-nrures,  led  me  to  the  conclusion  that  the  reference 
was  worth  preserving.  Mr.  .John  Ward  Dean  has  kindly  called  my  attention  to  the  fact 
that  Sir  Thomas  Moulson,  Lord  Mavor  of  London  in  \C<'il,  was  knigiited  at  Greenwich  on 
the  1st  of  June  in  that  vear.  Through  his  assistance  I  am  ati'e  to  trace  in  the  Calendar 
of  State  Papers.  Domestic,  1633-6,  enough  of  the  career  of  Sir  Tliomas  to  disclose  the  f  il- 
lowing  facts.  In  March,  U34,  the  Lord  Mayor  of  London  died.  Tliumas  Moulson,  at  that 
time  an  alderman,  was  chosen  '*  to  succeed  in  that  sovernment."  After  his  term  of  office  as 
Lord  Mayor  was  completed,  he  again  sei-ved  as  alderman.  His  name  appears  in  reports  to 
the  Coancil,  an<l  communicitions  to  him  are  to  be  found,  from  the  hands  of  the  Commis- 
sioners of  Pious  U-es  and  from  the  Kimr. 

In  Fuller's  Worthies  of  England,  Nutrall's  Edition,  1840,  vol.  i.,  p.  2S2,  Moulson  is 
classified  as  a  native  of  Cheshire  and  it  is  tliere  stated  that  "this  Thomas  Moulson  founded 
a  fair  school  in  tlie  to«n  where  he  was  born,"  and  in  a  note  Xuttall  states  that  "  he  founded 
a  chapf  1  at  narsriave-Stiilibs  und  endowed  it  with  40  1.  a  year.  He  i^No  endowed  a  scliool 
adjoining  with  20  1."  Nuttall  refers  to  Lyson's  Chpshire  for  his  aut'ioriry.  Turning  to 
this  volume,  which  is  the  second  part  of  the  second  volume  of  Lyson'.s  Magna  Britannia, 
we  find  references  to  Sir  Thomas  on  pages  400  and  793.  The  school  which  he  founded  was 
"  for  the  government,  education,  and  instruction  of  youth  in  grammar  and  virtue."    He

has  been  obt:uned;  and  it  must  be  regarded  as  somewhat  remarkable  that 
from  the  day  of  its  foundation  to  the  present  time,  fate  seems  to  have 
determined  that  the  Lady  Mowlsoa  scholarship  should  not  have  an  inde- 
pendent existence.* 

John  Glover  Fund.  In  1653,  John  Glover  of  Boston  left  to  "Har- 
vard College  at  Cambridge  for  and  towards  the  maintenance  of  a  Fellow 
there,  tive  pounds  a  year  forever."  It  is  stated  in  the  Treasurer's  Report 
that  this  annuity  is  accumulating. 

Edward  Hopkins  Bequest.  In  1657,  Edward  Hopkins,  Governor 
of  Connecticut,  left  a  sum  of  money  "■  for  the  breeding  up  of  hopeful  youths 
both  at  the  Grammar  School  and  College  for  the  public  service  of  the 
Colony  in  future  times."  This  bequest  has  figured  in  the  courts,  botli 
sides  of  the  ocean,  but  is  now  in  the  hands  of  trustees  and  the  College 
receives  a  part  of  the  income  from  it.f  Its  history  has  been  repeatedly 
published. 

John  Doderidge  Annuity.  In  1650,  .John  Doderidge  by  will,  duly 
proved  at  London,  England,  left  an  annuity  to  the  College.  The  clause  ia 
the  will  relating  to  the  exhibition  is  as  follows: 

"Also  I  give  and  bequeath  unto  ye  College  in  New  England  towards  ye 
maintenance  of  scholars  there,  ye  yearly  sum  of  ten  pounds  to  be  forever 
offering  and  going  forth  out  of  my  said  Rectory  of  Fremington  in  ye 
County  of  Devon." 

This  annuity  was  paid  until  1  G<S5.  In  1720,  steps  were  taken  to  test 
the  legal  rights  of  the  College.  This  was  the  cause  of  considerable  ex- 
penditure of  money  without  return  of  any  sort.  In  1737,  the  quest  was 
abandoned  as  hopeless  by  advice  of  Counsel. 

Robert  Ketne  House.  In  1659,  Robert  Keyne  of  Boston  left  to 
the  College  a  legacy  of  £100  and  '"also  the  one  moiety  or  halfe  part  of  a 
house  situate  in  Boston  near  to  the  old  meeting  house  vallued  at  one 
hundred  and  forty  five  pound  ten  shillings."     This  house  was  sold  to  Col. 

directed  "  the  overplus  of  rents  arising  from  certain  lands,  then  by  him  given,  to  be 
applied  to  the  relief  of  such  poor  persons  as  the  nugoritv  of  the  feoffees  shall  think  tit." 

The  name  is  generally  spelt  Moulson,  but  it  occurs  once  in  the  Calendar  of  State  Papers 
"  Mowlson." 

It  appears  in  the  list  of  Sheriffs  for  London  and  Middlesex,  given  in  Fnller's  Worthies, 
vol.  ii,  p.  407.    21.  James  I. 

These  facts  bring  before  us  a  successful  merchant  and  a  public-spirited  man,  whom  his 
fellow  citizens  delighted  to  honor.  His  interest  in  American  affairs  which  led  him  to  be 
present  at  the  meeting  of  the  Court  of  Assi-t.mts  of  the  Grocers'  Company  has  brought  his- 
name  into  an  American  book  pul)I:shed  nearly  three  centuries  after  the  meeting  in  question. 
He  recognized  his  obligations  to  his  fellow  men  and  sought  to  provide  for  the  welfare  of 
posterity  out  of  the  fortune  which  he  had  accumulated. 

Is  there  any  connection  between  Lady  Ann  Mowlson,  the  London  widow,  who  in  1(>1S' 
founded  the  first  scholarship  at  Harvara,  and  Sir  Thomas  Moulson,  Lord  Mayor  of  London 
and  founder  of  the  school  at  Hargrave-Stabbs?  This  question  can  be  easily  answered  hj 
British  antiquaries. 

•  Newgate  Axxvitt.  An  annuity  left  by  John  Xewgate  in  16-50,  althongb  by  its  terms 
not  an  exhibition,  was  often  tre;»ted  as  such  by  the  College  authorities. 

f  Allusions  to  this  Bequest,  more  or  less  elaborate,  wi;l  be  found  in  many  of  the  general 
histories.  Quincy  gives  some  details  in  his  History  of  Harvard  College.  For  farther  par--

236  Exhibitions  of  Harvard  College.  [July, 

Paii,'e,  July  8,  1696,  for  £100.  The  testator's  desire  was  that  the  bequest 
should  be  "  improved  and  used  for  the  use  and  help  of  poor  and  hopeful 
scholars";  but  he  left  the  disposal  of  the  property  to  the  discretion  of  the 
"  President,  Trustees  and  Overseers."  The  income  was  frequently  dis- 
tributed among  poor  scholars. 

Henry  Webb  Legacy.  In  1660,  Henry  TTebb  left  the  College  by 
will  a  house  in  Boston,  "the  rent  to  be  forever  for  the  maintenance  of 
some  poor  scholars  or  otherwise  for  the  best  good  of  the  College."  He 
also  left  £50  to  be  invested  in  pasture  ground  or  a  house,  the  yearly  income 
of  which  was  to  be  applied  to  the  same  ends. 

The  house  stood  where  Little,  Browu  &  Co.'s  book  store  now  stands. 
The  property  still  belongs  to  the  College.  The  liberal  character  of  the 
foundation  leaves  the  application  of  the  income  of  the  fund  entirely  under 
the  control  of  the  College  authorities.  It  may  be  that  more  useful  applica- 
tion can  be  made  of  this  income  than  in  the  establishment  of  ordinary 
scholarships;  yet  it  would  seem  that  a  suitable  recognition  of  the  liberal 
founder  of  this  trust  wonld  require  the  association  of  his  name  with  some 
scholarship,  so  that  it  might  be  spread  upon  the  pages  of  the  Catalogue 
each  year  as  a  permanent  record  of  the  gratitude  of  the  College. 

William  Pexnoyer  Scholarships.  The  will  of  William  Pennoyer, 
through  which  the  College  was  put  in  possession  of  an  annuity,  of  which 
it  still  receives  the  benetit,  was  executed  in  1670.  The  income  is  for  the 
benefit  of  '•  two  fellows  and  two  scholars,"  one  of  them  to  be  of  the 
posterity  of  Robert  Pennoyer  as  often  as  occasion  shall  present;  the  other 
to  be  of  New  Haven  Colony  if  conveniently  may  be.  When  the  clause 
in  the  will  containing  these  provisions  was  transcribed  for  the  aid  of  the 
College  authorities  in  assigning  these  scholarships,  an  error  of  chirography 
served  to  puzzle  the  College  fathers  for  nearly  tifty  years.  The  phrase  in 
the  original  will,  "  the  other  the  Colony  of  now  or  of  late  called  New 
Haven,"  became  when  transcribed  •'  the  other  the  Colony  of  Xox  or  of  late 
called  New  Haven."  The  history  of  this  curious  error,  so  far  as  it  may  be 
gathered  from  the  records  of  the  College,  may  be  found  in  the  Proceedings 
of  the  American  Antiquarian  Society  for  April,  1887.  A  description  of 
the  scholarship  will  be  found  in  the  College  catalogue. 

Elder  Pen  Annuity.  In  1671.  Elder  Pen  left  an  annuity  of  £10 
per  annum  for  poor  scholars  at  the  College,  but  neither  the  funds  nor  the 
distribution  were  under  the  control  of  the  Corporation. 

Richard  Belungham  Reversionary  Interest.  In  1672,  Richard 
Bellingham  left  a  reversionary  interest  which  was  to  be  administered  "  to 
be  an  annual  encouragement  to  some  godly  ministers  who  may  be  such 
who  shall  be  by  my  trustees  judged  faithful  to  those  principles  in  Chh. 
discipline  which  are  owned  and  pracitzed  in  ye  first  chh  of  Christ  in  Boston 
of  which  I  am  a  member,  a  main  one  whereof  is  that  all  ecclesiasticail 
jurisdiction  is  coiriitted  by  Christ  to  each  particular  organical  Chh.,  from 
which  there  is  no  appeal,  visible  saiutship  being  the  matter,  and  express 
covenanting  ye  form  of  ye  Chh."  The  third  instruction  which  he  gave  to 
the  trustees  was  as  follows: 

"That  four  or  six,  more  or  less,  young  students  be  brought  up  for  ye 
ministry  as  the  estate  will  bear." 

A  copy  of  this  will  has  been  preserved;  but  no  mention  of  the  College 
having  reaped  any  benefit  from  it.s  provisions  appears  in  the  records.

Richard  Russell  Bequest.  In  1679,  Richard  Russell  of  Charles- 
town  executed  a  will  which  contained  the  followinsc  clause:  "'To  Harvard 
Colleo"e  in  Cambridge  I  do  give  and  bequeath  one  hundred  pounds  and  my 
last  will  is  that  it  shall  be  improved  for  (the)  purchase  of  some  real  estate 
or  otherwise  so  as  to  bring  in  an  annual  revenue  and  the  principal  revenue 
shall  be  allowed  to  two  poor  students  that  may  need  the  same,  for  their 
furtherance  in  good  literature,  and  before  payment  thereof,  security  shall 
be  giveu  my  executors  for  the  falfilliug  my  will  in  this  relation  to  the 
content  of  my  overseers."  Of  this  legacy  £31  los.  4d.  was  received  in 
provisions,  and  for  many  years  the  balance  figured  in  the  College  accounts 
as  a  debt  due  the  College.  No  mention  is  made  in  the  records  of  know- 
ledge of  any  trust  being  attached  to  this  partial  payment. 

Samuel  "Ward  Legacy.  In  1681,  Samuel  Ward  left  Burakin  Island 
to  the  College.  "His  mind"  was,  according  to  the  will,  that  the  income 
derived  from  the  island  should  be  applied  "for  the  easement  of  the  charges 
of  the  dyet  of  the  students  that  are  in  commons."  This  island,  which  is 
situated  in  Boston  Harbor,  is  still  owned  by  the  College. 

Browne  Scholarship.  In  1681,  William  Brown  of  Salem  bequeathed 
£100  to  the  College  for  the  bringing  up  of  poor  scholars..  William  Brown 
is  described  in  the  Catalogue  as  the  founder  of  this  scholarship  to  which 
subsequent  contributions  were  made  by  Benjamin  Brown,  Major  William 
Brown  and  Col.  Samuel  Brown.  These  will  be  referred  to  in  detail  in 
chronological  sequence. 

Nathaxiel  Hultox  Gift.  In  1691,  Nathaniel  Hulton  of  Newing- 
ton  Greene  wrote  to  Increase  Mather  as  follows: 

"It  is  my  resolution  to  give  one  hundred  pounds,  I  say  £100,  which  is 
as  much  as  I  can  do  considering  my  estate  and  the  many  poor  relations  I 
have,  and  this  £100  I  do  wholly  and  absolutely  leave  to  you  to  lay  it  out 
upon  something  that  will  bring  in  a  yearly  revenue  forever,  and  that  upon 
a  true  title  that  will  last,  and  as  soon  as  you  have  found  a  place  you  may 
charge  me  with  £100  sterling  money,  and  I  shall  pay  it  if  I  be  alive,  or  if 
I  be  dead  I  will  take  care  to  leave  order  that  it  be  paid  when  you  charge 
it.'  *  *  *  "I  leave  it  wholly  to  you  to  lay  it  out  and  have  ye  income 
shall  be  bestowed  so  as  may  do  most  good."  Hulton  executed  a  codicil  to 
his  will  to  the  following  effect :  "'  I  give  and  bequeath  to  Mr.  Increase 
Mather  Minister  of  ye  Gospel  in  New  England  ye  sum  of  one  hundred 
pounds  lawful  money  of  England  for  ye  use  of  ye  College  of  which  he 
is  President."  At  a  meeting  of  the  Corporation  held  June  1,  1709, 
it  was  proposed  by  Mr.  Increase  Mather  that  one  of  his  son  Walter's 
children  might  have  the  benefit  of  the  above  legacy  while  at  the  College, 
which  was  assented  to.  The  fund  was  treated  for  many  years  as  an  exhibi- 
tion fund.* 

Sewall  Scholarships.  In  1696,  Hon.  Samuel  Sewall  of  Boston,  and 
his  wife,  gave  the  College  a  farm  in  the  Naragansett  Country,  the  income 
thereof  to  be  appropriated  to  the  support  and  education  of  youths  of  in- 
sufficient means,  those  from  Petaquamscot,  if  any,  to  be  preferred.  These 
scholarships  are  described  in  the  Catalogue. 

•  Major  Johx  Pvickards  Bequest.  In  169+,  M;ijor  John  Richards  bequeathed  to  Har- 
'k'^  p'^'le^e  £100  "  the  yearly  profit  to  be  towards  the  maintenance  of  poor  scholars  at 
the  discretion  of  the  President  and  Kellows  for  the  time  beinit."  In  Treasurer  Brattle's 
stoteinent  for  1696  this  legacy  appears  as  a  debt  due  the  Co'.le^'e,  but  inasmuch  as  no  men- 
tion IS  evar  made  of  the  bequest  among  the  annual  exhibitions  it  is  not  probable  that  it  was 
CTcr  collected.

238  Exhibitions  of  Harvard  College.  [July, 

Stoughton  Scholarship.  In  1703,  William  Stoughton  left  to  the 
College  by  will  twenty-three  acres  of  pasture  land  and  four  acres  of  marsh 
land  in  Dorchester,  the  yearly  income  to  be  for  the  benefit  of  some  Dor- 
chester scholars;  if  none  such  are  at  the  College,  then  to  some  Milton 
scholar,  and  in  want  of  such  to  any  well  deserving  that  is  needy.  This 
scholarship  is  described  in  the  Catalogue. 

Captain  Richard  Sprague  Bequest.  In  1703,  Captain  Richard 
Sprague  of  Charlestown  left  £400  to  Harvard  College,  to  be  disposed  of 
for  the  benefit  and  advantage  of  the  Corporation,  according  to  the  direction 
of  Vice  President  Willard,  John  Leverett,  Rev.  William  Brattle  and  Rev. 
Simon  Bradstreet.  In  1726,  Bradstreet,  being  then  the  only  survivor  of 
the  trustees,  resigned  his  power  of  disposing  of  the  donation,  into  the  hands 
of  the  honored  and  reverend  Corporation  of  Harvard  College.  This  be- 
quest, although  not  specifically  an  exhibition,  was  so  administered  for 
many  years. 

Benjamin  Brown  Bequest.  In  1708,  Benjamin  Brown  bequeathed 
two  hundred  pounds  for  the  support  of  poor  scholars,  preference  to  be  given 
to  Salem  scholars.  This  bequest  is  included  in  the  Catalogue  under  the 
scholarship  described  as  the  Browne  scholarship. 

Thomas  Brattle  Bequest.  In  1713,  Thomas  Brattle  bequeathed 
£200  "  towards  the  maintenance  of  some  Master  of  Arts  and  especially  of 
such  a  one  as  is  best  skilled  in  mathematics  and  shall  by  all  proper 
methods  endeavor  the  improvement  thereof;  as  by  reading  and  teaching 
the  same  and  making  observations  and  communicating  them  to  the  learned 
abroad  as  in  some  manner  I  have  done,  respect  and  preference  being  ever- 
more given  to  such  as  shall  be  akin  by  blood  unto  me^above  and  before  all 
others."* 

Major  William  Brown  Bequest.  In  1716,  Major  William  Brown, 
second  brother  to  Benjamin  Brown,  bequeathed  £100,  the  income  to  be  used 
to  help  support  his  descendants  while  students  at  the  College;  if  none 
there,  then  to  help  maintain  poor  scholars  from  Salem.  This  bequest  i.3 
included  under  the  scholarship  described  in  the  Catalogue  as  the  Browne 
scholarship. 

Rev.  William  Brattle  Bequest.  In  1717,  William  Brattle  be- 
queathed £250  "  with  this  proviso  and  in  expectation  and  confidence  that 
said  President  and  Fellows  and  whosoever  shall  succeed  or  come  in  their 
stead  and  room  for  the  improvement  and  use  of  said  money,  do,  will  and 
shall  take  effectual  care  forever  that  £15  annually  be  disposed  of  to  one 
or  more  of  students  at  ye  discretion  and  pleasure  of  said  President  and 
Fellows  unless  said  student  or  students  be  nominated  and  appointed  by 
some  of  my  kindred  related  to  me  by  blood."  There  is  another  clause  in 
the  will  in  which  he  gives  to  the  College  £250,  "  with  the  same  purpose 
and  proviso  that  are  before  mentioned  in  this  will  with  respect  to  my 
former  legacy  to  said  College."  The  College  apparently  received  £250 
under  this  will.f 

♦  Thomas  Richahds  Leoact.  Quincy  (Vol.  II.  p.  .526)  classifies  a  legacy  of  Thomas 
Richards  in  1714  among  the  exhi))itions.  The  fuUowiiig  is  the  language  of  the  will: 
•'  Item  I  give  to  Harvard  Colledge  Thirty  Pounds." 

t  Mhs.  Hutchinson-  Gift  and  John  Walley  Leoact.  Qaincy  [Vol.  II.  p.  526] 
classifies  a  gift  of  £10  by  the  widow  of  Eli.ikini  Hutchinson  and  a  legacy  of  £lt'0  by  Joha 
Walley  among  the  exhiljitions.  Hutchinson  died  in  1717.  For  several  years  previous  to 
his  death  he  had  annually  giveo  the  College  £10.    In  1718  the  same  amount  was  received

Col.  Samuel  Browx  Gift.  la  1720,  Col.  Samuel  Brown  gave 
£150  to  be  used  for  the  support  of  poor  students.  This  gift  is  included  in 
the  "  Browne  Scholarship  "  described  in  the  Catalogue. 

HoLLis  Scholarship.  The  remittances  of  Thomas  HoUis  to  Harvard 
College  began  in  1719.  By  his  correspondence  it  appears  that  his  sole 
purpose  at  first  was  to  assist  poor  and  pious  young  men  in  their  studies  for 
the  ministry.  When  in  February,  1720-21,  he  founded  the  Professorship 
of  Divinity,  he  provided  in  the  same  instrument  for  one  exhibition  of  ten 
pounds  a  year  for  a  student  for  the  ministry  and  for  the  division  of  the 
surplus  income  into  as  many  more  exhibitions  of  ten  pounds  each  as  the 
annual  income  would  bear. 

The  details  concerning  these  scholarships  were  more  thoroughly  fixed  in 
1722  and  are  given  in  the  Hollis  Statute,  recorded  in  the  flollis  Book. 
"Dunces,  Rakes  and  persons  reasonably  judged  able  to  maintain  them- 
selves "  ai'e  there  declared  "  not  fit  to  partake  of  this  bounty."  The  scholar- 
ship is  described  in  the  Catalogue. 

Rev.  Henry  Gibbs  Legacy.  In  1722,  Rev.  Henry  Gibbs  of  "Water- 
town  left  a  legacy  of  £100  to  the  College,  "  The  yearly  interest  to  be 
exhibited  to  such  members  of  the  College  as  need  it,  firstly  to  my  children's 
posterity  if  they  desire  it." 

Capt.  Ephraim  Flyxt  Bequest.  In  1723,  Capt.  Ephraim  Flynt 
bequeathed  £100  to  Harvard  College  "to  be  applied  at  the  discretion  of 
ye  Corporation  yt  is  to  say  ye  income  thereof  to  ye  benefit  of  ye  scholars 
there  who  are  studious,  well  disposed  and  want  help." 

Thojias  Daxforth  Gift.  In  1724,  Thomas  Danforth  made  the 
following  communication  to  the  Corporation:  ''To  Harvard  College  on 
the  condition  hereafter  named  I  do  give,  and  when  they  have  a  President 
settled  will  confirm  by  deed,  these  three  tenements  at  Framingham  etc.  etc. 
to  have  and  hold  ye  same  forever  to  their  only  use  and  behoof.  The  con- 
ditions are  as  foUoweth :  i.e. 

1.  That  the  Annual  Rents  shall  be  for  the  support  of  such  students  as 
shall  from  time  to  time  use  and  improve  one  of  the  studies  in  ye  new 
lodgings  erected  by  Mr.  Stoughton. 

2.  That  ye  nomination  of  said  person  shall  be  by  my  heirs  resident  in 
ye  Province. 

3.  That  such  student  shall  be  exempt  from  paying  study  rent  and 
detriment. 

4.  If  such  lodgings  shall  not  be  from  time  to  time  got  and  kept  in  good 
repair,  or  if  any  prelatical  injunction  shall  be  imposed  on  said  Society,  yt 
in  such  case  my  gift  shall  revert  to  my  heirs. 

I  shall  advise  of  a  meet  form  for  such  an  instrument  as  soon  as  a  Col- 
lege is  crathered."  In  a  codicil  to  his  will  Danforth  left  these  leases  to  the 
College  •'  on  such  conditions  as  I  shall  name." 

Beginning  with  the  year  17-30,  the  Danforth  or  Framingham  leases 
figure  regularly  in  the  list  of  exhibitions.  For  many  years  no  single  ex- 
hibition on  the  list  equalled  this  in  value.     In  1806  in  a  list  of  exhibitions 

from  hi<  widow.  Leverett  records  the  fact  that  "  the  President  n«kcd  her  whether  she  was 
pleased  to  cive  him  any  (iirections  about  the  di-position  of  if,  she  >aid  no,  arid  so  ieft  it 
with  him."  Tlie  terms  prescribed  for  the  disposition  of  Walley's  le.iracv  were  "  for  the 
use  of  two  scholars  £1-5  per  annum  lor  three  years  after  taking  their  first  depree,  £10 
towards  the  charge  of  th-.-ir  second  degree."  Of  course  these  assignments  could  not  be 
made  from  the  income  of  this  bequest.

240  Exhibitions  of  Harvard  College,  [July, 

for  sundry  legacies  and  donations  amounting  to   $5,016.66,  this  appears  a3 
one. 

Anne  Mills  Legacy.  In  1725,  Mrs.  Anne  Mills  left  the  College  a 
legacy  of  £50,  "  which  fifty  pounds  my  will  is  should  be  improved  towards 
ye  bringing  up  of  such  scholars  as  shall  most  need  it."  This  fund  figured 
as  an  exhibition  for  many  years. 

Saltonstall  ScnoLARSHiPS.  In  1730.  ^ladam  Mary  Saltonstall, 
widow  of  Gov.  Gordon  .Saltonstall  of  Connecticut,  bequeatlied  to  the  Col- 
lege £1000,  the  income  of  which  was  to  be  given  to  two  persons  without 
means,  of  bright  parts  and  good  diligence  (always  dissenters)  to  fit  them 
for  the  Church  of  Christ;  those  related  to  tlie  giver  by  consanguinity  to  be 
preferred.     These  scholarships  are  described  in  the  Catalogue. 

Col.  Samuel  Brottn  Bequest.  In  1731,  Col.  Samuel  Brown,  the 
same  who  in  1720  gave  £150  for  an  exhibition,  bequeathed  his  estate  in 
Hopkinton,  the  income  thereof  to  be  used  for  bringing  up  poor  scholars, 
those  recommended  by  his  posterity  to  be  preferred.  This  bequest  is 
included  in  the  scholarship  described  in  the  Catalogue  as  the  Browne 
Scholarship. 

Nathaniel  Hollis  Gift.  January  27,  1731-2,  Nathaniel  Hollis 
transmitted  £350  in  Province  Bills  to  give  an  exhibition  for  two  more 
scholarships  subject  to  the  same  rules  and  orders  as  the  ten  estaljlished  by 
his  late  brother,  Thomas  Hollis.  ''•  What  I  chiefly  intend  is  yt  they  be 
both  Indian  students,  now  and  at  all  times  if  they  can  be  had;  but  if  not  I 
leave  yt  to  ye  College  to  fill  up  with  such  persons  as  they  judge  piously 
inclined,  useful  to  ye  ministry."  Described  in  the  Catalogue  under  Hollis 
Scholarship. 

Dorothy  Saltonstall  Scholarships.  In  1733,  Dorothy  Saltonstall 
bequeathed  £300,  the  interest  thereof  to  be  employed  yearly  for  the  bene- 
fit of  two  poor  scholars  according  to  the  discretion  of  the  President  and 
Fellows  of  said  College  for  the  time  being.  These  scholarships  are  de- 
scribed in  the  Catalogue. 

THo:\tAS  Fitch  Legacy.  In  1737,  the  College  received  a  legacy 
of  £300  from  Hon.  Thomas  Fitch  "for  the  education  of  scholars  of  good 
capacity  for  the  work  of  the  ministry."     This  was  treated  as  an  exhibition. 

President  Wadsworth's  Charity  Bag.  In  1737,  President  Wads- 
worth  bequeathed  out  of  the  money  in  his  charity  bag  £110,  "six  pounds 
of  the  annual  income  thereof  to  be  for  the  support  of  some  poor  scholar 
or  scholars  residing  at  the  College  (tho  to  no  dunce  or  rake)  at  the  dis- 
cretion of  the  Corporation.  And  if  any  relative  to  me  by  blood  should  be 
at  the  College  and  need,  I  would  have  such  one  preferred." 

John  Ellery  Bequest.  In  1738,  £150,  old  tenor,  was  left  by 
John  Ellery  "for  the  maintenance  of  any  of  the  students  that  may  stand  in 
need  of  such  help."  This  legacy  was  treated  as  an  exhibition  and  appears 
upon  the  annual  lists  in  the  records  for  many  years. 

Daniel  Henchman  Gifts.  In  April,  1742,  Daniel  Henchman  gave 
the  College  100  oz.  of  silver,  the  annual  income  to  be  added  to  the  calary 
of  the  Hollisian  Professor  of  Divinity.  In  October  of  the  same  year,  he 
gave  £150  for  the  same  purpose.  It  was  to  be  applied  in  this  way  so  long 
as  the  Professor  should  be  a  man  of  the   Congregational  or   Presbyterian

\  according  to  the  well  known  confession  of  faith  drawn  up  by  a  synod  of 

I  the  churches  in  "^ew  England.     Failing  either  of  these  points,  it  was  to  be 

I  used  lor  the  benefit  of  some  deserving  student  of  said  College  whose  parents 

f  should   not  be  able  to   bear   the  charges  of   his  public  education  and  who 

\  should  also  be  approved  by  the  pastor  of  the  Old  South  Church  iu  Boston, 

for  the  time  being,  preference  being  given  to  a  child  of  Boston.     In  1758, 
Henchman  also  gave  £6G  13s.  4d.,  the  interest  of  which  was  to  be  given  to 
I  the  HoUis  Professor  of  Mathematics. 

I  President  IIolyoke  Gift  and  Legact.     Iu  1743,  President  Hol- 

I  yoke  gave  £100  old  teuor  to  the  College,  the  income  to  be  for  the  use  of 

t  the  Collc'ue  until  further  directions  were  given  for  the  disposal  of  the  same. 

i  By  his  will  he  lef:  £13  Gs.  8d.  lawful  money,  "  the  income  at  present  as 

I  the  Corporation  shall  see  meet,  but  my  will  is  that  when  at  any  time  here- 

I  after  there  shall  be  one  or  more  related  to  me  by  consanguinity,  shall  be  a 

I  member  or  members  of  said  College,  the  income  of  this  my  bequest  as  also 

p  of  that  gift  which  I  gave  the  College  about  two  and  twenty  years  ago,  viz. 

I  one   hundred   pounds   O.  T.   shall  be  given  to  such  relative  or  relatives  of 

I  mine,  if  they  shall  stand  in  need  or  want  thereof,  such  want  to  be  judged 

I  by  the  corporation  of  said  College." 

* 

I  Hexry  Flynt  Bequest.     In  1760,  Henry  Flynt,  the  venerable  tutor, 

i  bequeathed  £700  old  tenor,  or  £93  6s.  8d.  lawful  money,  the  annual  in- 

I  come  to  be  for  the  four  senior  tutors  as  an  addition  to   their   salaries.     He 

I  also  left  a  legacy  of  £112    10s.  old  tenor  or  tifty    Spanish  dollars,   *•  the 

\  yearly  interest  to  be  paid  to  one  or  more  needy  scholars  who  are  diligent 

I  and   virtuous  at   the   discretion   of  the   Corporation.     My  relatives  of  the 

blood  to  have  the  preference."     These  bequests   are   recognized   in  the 

Treasurer's  report. 

Rev.  Dr.  Joseph  Sewall  Gift.  In  1765,  Rev.  Dr.  Joseph  Sewall 
gave  £20  lawful  money.  Mr.  Hubbard  informed  the  Corporation  that  Dr. 
Sewall  signified  to  him  that  he  desired  the  income  of  this  donation  should 
be  disposed  of  to  needy  scholars. 

Rev.  Dr.  Appleton  Gift.  In  1772,  Rev.  Dr.  Appleton  gave  to  the 
President  and  Fellows  of  Harvard  College  £30  lawful  money,  "  desiring 
and  expecting  the  annual  interest  thereof  be  every  year  exhibited  to  some 
well  deserving  student  at  the  College,  whose  circumstances  shall  need  such 
charitable  assistance;  and  whenever  any  of  my  posterity  shall  be  at  the 
College  that  they  shall  have  the  benefit  of  this  donation  if  their  parents  or 
guardians  shall  desire  it;  and  this  donation  is  instead  of  ye  legacy  given  to 
said  College  in  my  last  will  and  testament." 

Notwithstanding  this  last  clause,  the  College  received  in  178-4,  £26  from 
the  estate  of  Dr.  Appleton  for  the  same  purpose.  The  clause  under  which 
this  was  taken  was  as  follows:  "  I  give  to  the  President  and  Fellows  of 
Harvard  College,  the  interest  thereof  to  be  by  them  given  to  some  poor 
but  well  deserving  scholar  agreeable  to  my  directions  with  respect  to  a 
former  donation  to  said  corporation." 

Mary  Lindall  Legacy.  Mary  Lindall  by  will,  proved  .June  17, 
1776,  left  the  College  £100,  "the  interest  to  be  by  them  applied  and 
annually  exhibited  to  such  scholar  or  scholars  at  said  College  of  good 
character  whose  circumstances  call  for  such  charitable  assistance,  and  that 
the  preference  be  always  to  such  who  shall  be  related  to  me  by  blood,  and

in  want  of  such  to  some  scholar  or  scholars  of  the  town  of  Salem."     This 
legacy  was  paid  in  1812. 

Alford  Scholarship.  Joanna  Alford  in  1785  bequeathed  £100 
sterling  to  the  College,  the  income  to  be  appropriated  for  the  education  of 
those  students  who  are  under  low  and  indigent  circumstances.  This 
scholarship  is  described  in  the  Catalogue.* 

It  would  be  interesting  to  pursue  the  study  of  these  exhibitions 
to  a  later  date ;  but  the  beginning  of  a  new  century  nearly  coinci- 
dent with  a  change  in  the  form  of  government  of  the  country  fur- 
nishes a  suitable  stopping  place.  AVhen  the  College  was  founded, 
and  for  nearly  a  century  and  a  half  thereafter,  the  accounts  were 
kept  in  single  entry.  During  this  period,  annual  assignments  were 
made  of  the  specific  income  of  the  several  scholarships,  and  the 
lives  of  these  scholarships  can  be  traced  through  the  records.  When 
the  system  of  double  entry  book-keeping  was  adopted,  the  existing 
exhibitions  of  which  the  Treasurer  has  any  knowledge  were  bunched 
in  a  single  account  termed  the  ''  Exhibition  Account "  ;  and  there- 
after their  history  was  consigned  to  the  oblivion  of  that  account. 
Some  of  them  have  since  been  rescued  and  re-instated  upon  separate 
bases.     The  majority  survive  only  in  the  general  account. 

It  is  a  satisfaction  to  be  able  to  state  that  I  have  been  able  to 
trace  into  the  exhibition  account  all  the  gifts  or  legacies  mentioned 
in  the  foregoing  list  which  can  properly  be  defined  as  exhibitions, 
and  payment  of  which  to  the  College  can  clearly  be  shown,  with  the 
exception  of  the  Lady  Moudson  Scholarship  and  the  Richard  Russell 
Bequest,  f  In  the  case  of  the  former,  the  fact  that  the  College 
treasurer  was  not  made  the  custodian  of  the  fund  until  seventy  years 
after  the  foundation  of  the  scholarship  furnishes  an  explanation  for 
the  evident  ignorance  of  the  College  officers  of  the  conditions  at- 
tached to  the  gift. I     In  the  latter  case,  it  may  be  inferred  from  the 

•  "West  Boston  Briijge  Approppiatiox.  When  the  West  Boston  Bridge  was  estab- 
lished the  Legislature  provided  that  the  annaity  granted  the  Colle::e  for  the  revocation  of 
its  vested  rights  in  the  Cbarlestown  ferry  should  he  appropriated  towards  "  de*"raying  the 
tuition  of  indigent  scholars,  or  for  the  reducing  the  expense  of  tuition  to  all  the  other 
scholars."    The  terms  of  this  enactment  were  altered  a  few  years  thereafter. 

t  I  ought  perhaps  to  add  that  I  have  made  no  etTurt  to  follow  the  Mary  Lindall  legacy, 
as  it  was^not  paid  till  1SI2. 

t  An  examination  of  the  paper  on  the  Lady  Mowlson  Scholarship,  printed  in  the  Pro- 
ceedings of  t'ae  American  Antiquarian  Society,  to  which  reference  has  been  made,  will 
show  that  the  College  fundamoutitin::  to  £162 '16.  4.  in  the  hands  uf  the  Treasurer  of  the 
Province,  was,  in  the  latter  part  of  the  seventeenth  and  the  begmning  of  the  eighteenth 
century,  invariably  spoken  of  as  consistin:;  of  gifts  to  the  Culleue.  It  is  evident  that  the 
Overseers  did  not  tiien  have  knowledge  of  The  existence  of  the  document  from  which 
quotation  has  been  made  in  the  text,  nor  were  they  conscious  that  the  Magistrates  of  the 
Colony  had  in  16-5-5  dissented  from  the  conclusion  of  the  Deputies  to  pay  the  same  over  to 
the  CoIIcL'e,  on  the  express  ground  that  tho  Lady  Mowlson  gft  was  for  the  establishment 
of  scholarships.  Both  these  points  will  appear  from  an  examination  of  the  record  of  an 
Overseers'  meeting  held  at  Cambriiige,  July  25,  1712,  taken  from  the  Leverett  Book,  in 
which  record  the  fund  is  spoken  of  as  a  donation,  and  in  which  it  is  stated  that  tsvo 
memorials,  referring  probably  to  recent  petitions,  had  been  preferred  to  the  Geue.-ul  Court. 
The  following  is  Levcrett's  account  of  tiie  meetiiis  in  question: 

"  The  Pre-ider.t  represented  to  the  Jver^eers  ttiat  tli-re  was  the  sum  of  £162.  16.  4.  due 
bein?  the  donation  of  the  Lady  M^mlson  &c.  to  the  Collesre,  due  from  the  Countrey;  tliat 
the  Countrey  had  oblig'd  themselves  to  pav  the  College  £15  P.  annum  in  Co.intrev  pay  for 
ye  Interest  of  the  sd  sum  of  £162.  16.  4  so  long  as^it  remained  in  the  Publick  Treasury,

I  absence  of  any  allusion  in  the  records  to  the  intention  of  Russell  to 

I  found  an  exhibition,  that  the  College  treasurer  was  ignorant  of  the 

I  terms  of  the  will.     The  partial  payment  of  which  we  have  knowledge 

\  was   apparently  the  only  payment  made  to  the  College.     If  it  ia 

\  unfortunate  that  the  titles  of  any  of  these  foundations  should  be  lost 

j  from  sight,  still  it  must  be  a  source  of  congratulation  that  the  I'unds 

\  have  survived  the  extraordinary  fluctuations  to  which  investments  of 

i  that  period    were    exposed.       Eliot,    in    a   memorandum   following 

I  his  entry  of  Thomas  Brattle's  bequest,  referring  to  his  attempt  at  ex- 

I  pressing  the  value  of  the  gifts  in  sterling  and  in  currency,   says: 

"At  this  period  began  the  depreciation  of  the  currency  of  the 
Province,  in  consequence  of  the  issue  of  bills  of  credit  by  the 
government.  Specie  disappeared,  and  the  bills  increased  in  num- 
ber and  diminished  in  value  till  after  1750,  when  a  large  sum  in 
eilver  was  received  from  England  to  reimburse  the  expenses  of  the 
colony  in  the  French  War,  and  formed  a  sufficient  basis  of  circula- 
tion till  the  Revolution.  The  rate  of  depreciation  is  adopted  gener- 
ally on  the  authority  of  Mr.  Felt ;  though  memoranda  in  the  Col- 
lege records  and  some  private  sources  of  information  have  been  con- 
sulted, and  occasionally  followed.  Probably  prices  in  the  money 
market  were  not  so  definite  as  they  would  have  been  in  a  larger  and 
more  wealthy  community  ;  and  the  rates  here  given  must  be  con- 
sidered as  generally  rather  than  universally  correct." 

This  crisis  was  by  no  means  the  most  perilous  of  the  hazards 
which  current  investments  of  that  day  had  to  meet.  After  having 
passed  through  the  time  when  they  were  tested  as  to  value  by 
examining  whether  they  were  payable  in  bills  of  old  or  new  tenor, 
in  lawful  money  or  in  sterling,  they  were  exposed  to  the  conditions 
of  a  currency  which  may  be  measured  by  the  titles  of  the  following 
accounts  coexistent  on  the  books  of  the  Harvard  College  Treasurer  : 
Paper  Currency,  Continental  Loan  Certificates,  Bills  on  France, 
Difference  of  Exchange,  Depreciation  Notes,  Bills  of  Xew  Emission 
and  Bills  of  Old  Emission.  As  if  to  add  to  the  confusion  of  affliirs, 
it  is  difficult  to  say  what  was  the  real  currency  unit  in  use  in  the 
country.  Contributions  to  a  subscription  circulated  in  1766  were 
made  payable  in  Guineas,  Dollars,  Joannes,  Spanners,  Pounds  and 
Shillings. 

The  Exhibition  Account  still  figures  in  the  Treasurer's  report. 
The  amount  to  the  credit  of  the  Account  in  recent  reports  is  between 
nine  and  ten  thousand  dollars.     It  is  an  open  question  whether  it 

that  ye  sum  of  £15  had  been  so  paid  nnto  the  year  1685.    That  the  Principal  and  Interest 

had  bin  detained  from  the  College  unto  thi-.  day,  and  that  tbo  the  Treasurer  of  the  Colleire 
by  the  order  of  the  Corporation  had  twice  prefer'd  a  memorial  in  behalf  of  the  College  to 
the  General  Court  of  the  Province,  and  moved  tliat  the  Overseers  wil  he  pleased  to  take 
the  matter  into  their  consideration  and  advi><;  wliat  is  to  be  done  in  the  premisses. 

The  Overseers  were  pleased  to  view  the  (College  records,  by  which  it  seemed  to  be  cvid't 
that  such  a  sum  was  due,  and  they  were  of  opinion  that  the  Countrey  w'd  be  ohliLred  ia 
Justice  to  produce  a  discharge  for  the  said  sum  or  to  pay  the  piincipall  with  the  Interest  ia 
arrear.  But  the  Secretary  was  desired  to  search  the  Countrey  records  that  what  liirht  they 
afford  might  be  produced,  if  further  sh'd  be  demiinded,  w'ch  he  was  pleaded  to  uadertake."

244  Will  of  Henry  Poole.  [July, 

would  not  be  more  in  accordance  with  the  general  policy  of  the  Col- 
lege with  reference  to  gifts,  if  it  should  distribute  this  fund,  or  the 
greater  part  of  it,  crediting  such  exhibitions  as  may  be  supposed  to 
have  lost  their  identity  through  its  establishment  with  proportionate 
amounts,  and  leaving  them  to  accumulate  until  they  can  be  used  for 
beneficiary  purposes.  It  would  seem  as  if  some  of  these  accounts 
have  a  right  to  separate  existence  on  the  books  of  the  College.  If, 
for  instance,  it  should  be  concluded  that  the  Lady  Mowlson  Scholar- 
ship is  to  be  found  in  the  Exhibition  Account,  it  would  be  an  easy 
matter  to  revive  it  by  name.  If,  however,  it  should  be  determined 
that  this  Scholiirship  was  never  covered  into  that  Account,  then  an 
appeal  might  be  made  to  some  of  the  wealthy  alumni  to  furnish  the 
funds  for  the  establishment  of  a  scholarship  of  that  name.

REV.    STEFFI  EN   BACHILER. 

By  the  Hon.  Charles  E.  Batchelder,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

[Continued  from  page  161.] 

In  1G39  Rev.  Timothy  Dalton  became  teacher  of  the  church  at  Hamp- 
ton, Mr.  Bacliiler  remaiiiincr  as  pastor.  From  his  arrival  dates  the  fierce 
conflicts  in  the  church,  which  must  have  prevented  either  minister  from 
accompllshiiifi;  any  good  in  the  community.  The  larger  portion  of  the 
worshippers  sided  with  Mr.  Dalton.  having  been  his  parishioners  in  Eng- 
land at  Woolver.stone,  Ipswich,  in  .Suffolk.* 

This  gave  Dalton  an  advantage  in  the  contest,  though  bis  opponent, 
educated  in  the  most  famous  Engli.sh  university,  of  excellent  natural  abili- 
ties, a  keen  disputant,  quick  to  attack  the  weak  point  in  his  enemy's  armor, 
courageous  and  unyielding,  was  no  mean  antagoni--t.  Bachiler  was  posi- 
tive, earnest  and  convincing.  He  spoke  as  one  having  authority  and  from 
knowledge  of  the  truth.  Dalton  was  younger,  more  active,  and  perhaps 
more  vehement,  than  his  elder  colleague.  He  was  mo  e  politic  thaa 
Bachiler,  but  fully  as  tenacious  of  his  opinions.  By  his  resilience  in  Ded- 
ham  he  had  learned  the  plans  and  desires  of  Massachusetts  and  earnestly 
espoused  them.  He  l.ad  the  powerful  support  of  the  Bay  Colony  and  was 
perhaps  made  teacher  of  the  Hampton  church  in  order  to  combat  the 
pastor's  independent  influence. 

The  history  of  this  three-years  contest  between  the  pastor  and  teacher 
of  the  church  at  Hampton  has  nearly  passed  into  obscurity.  The  town 
records  show  nothing  concerning  it.  The  church  records  of  that  date  have 
disappeared.  The  only  thing  remaining  is  Winthrop's  relation  of  the 
utterly  improbable  -tory  that  Mr.  Bachiler,  evidently  esteemed  of  pure  life 
to  that  time,  at  the  age  of  four-score  years  solicited  the  chastity  of  his 
Deighbor's  wife.f  Winthrop  adds,  apparen;ly  as  a  circumstance  of  aggra- 
vation, that  ^Ir.  Bachiler  then  had  ''a  lusty,  comely  woman  to  his  wife." 
This  was  evidently  one  of  "  the  provoking  matters"  which  Rev.  Tlioma.s 
Shepard  advised  Winthrop  niiijht  be  left  to  the  judgment  of  others  to  pub- 
lish when  the  co[)y  of  his  history  was  privately  examined.  That  Winthrop 
himself  would  have  struck  out  this  record,  if  he  had  been  alive  at  its  publi- 
cation, is  extremely  probable.  Consider  for  a  moment  the  evidence  against 
this  accusation. 

1.  The  advanced  a^e  of  the  accused  and  his  previous  good  character 
almost  certainly  prove  the  story  a  fabrication.

2.  The  immorality  of  the  settlers  east  of  the  Merrimack  was  urgatl  as 
a  reason  why  that  region  should  come  under  Massachusetts  rule.  To  sup- 
port that  statement  numerous  peofile  iu  the  two  eastern  colouies  were 
charged  with  sexual  crimes.  It  is  doubtful  if  any  of  them  were  true, 
except  iu  the  case  of  Underhill,  who  was  forgiven  as  soon  as  he  had  trans- 
ferred his  allegiance  to  the  Bay,  and  perhaps  Burdett,  minister  at  Agamen- 
ticus,  who  was  indicted  for  adultery. 

3.  Such  solicitation  was  a  criminal  oifence  iu  those  days,  punishable 
with  severe  penalities.*  No  indictment  was  ever  found  against  Mr. 
Bachiler  and  no  charge  ever  made  against  him  to  any  magistrate.  On  the 
contrary  he  charged  his  accusers  with  the  crime  of  slander  before  the 
magistrates. 

4.  Early  in  1644  Mr.  Bachiler  had  a  call  to  settle  at  Exeter.  The 
path  between  Hampton  and  Exeter  was  short  and  easily  travelled.  Hamp- 
ton gossip  was  repeated  iu  Exeter  in  a  few  days.  If  the  highly  respectable 
people  of  I2xeter  had  supposed  there  was  a  scintilla  of  truth  in  the  charges 
they  would  not  have  called  the  offender  to  be  their  pastor.  Moreover  the 
prohibition  of  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts  against  Bachiler's  settling 
at  Exeter  was  based,  not  on  his  unfitness,  but  on  the  divided  state  of  the 
Exeter  church. f  If  he  had  been  suj^posed  guilty  of  impurity  it  would 
have  been  a  conclusive  reason  against  his  settlement  at  Exeter,  and  we  cau 
hardly  suspect  the  General  Court  of  dissembling  and  basing  their  action 
upon  a  weaker  reason  when  a  stronger  existed.  Such  was  not  their  u^ual 
custom. 

5.  But  it  is  said  that  he  confessed  the  crime,  though  he  afterwards 
denied  it.  If  true,  that  would  end  all  controversy.  All  writers  on  evidence 
declare  that  admissions  or  confessions  are  worthy  of  little  credence  unless 
made  in  the  plainest  terms  and  with  the  clearest  understanding  of  the  facts 
of  the  case.  An  examination  of  Winthrop's  History  would  induce  us  to- 
believe  that  New  England  was  then  full  of  all  kinds  of  sexual  crimes,  and' 
that  nearly  every  person  accused  confessed  his  guilt.  A  slight  examination 
of  the  acts,  which  were  deemed  confessions  in  those  days,  show  their  utter 
untrustworthiness  as  evidence.  To  refuse  to  plead  either  guilty  or  not 
guilty  was  wrested  into  a  confession. $  It  is  evident  that  Bachiler  never 
confessed  in  words.  The  charge  was  based  on  some  alleged  admission  by 
conduct.  The  representation  of  Baeiiiler  as  a  whiffling,  inconstant  man  is 
entirely  foreign  to  his  character.  Winthrop's  words,  •'  He  stiffly  denied' 
it,"  clearly  represent  his  disposition.  He  was  a  positive,  obstinate,  tena- 
cious, unyielding  man.  When  he  made  a  statement  he  stfod  by  his  words 
and  did  not  contradict  them  shortly  after.  It  is  almost  impossible  to  be- 
lieve that  any  excitement  arising  from  the  outrageousness  of  the  charge, 
any  indignation  aroused  by  his  innocence,  or  any  fear  caused  by  knowledge 
of  g  ilt,  could  make  him  on  a  single  occasion  only  in  the  course  of  his  long- 
and  contentious  life,  uncertain  and  vaccilating.  He  was  evidently  mis- 
understood or  misrepresented.  Probably  the  latter.  The  so-cailed  con- 
fession had  this  basis  and  no  more.  Bachiler's  project  had  failed.  The- 
Bay  Ctlony  had  succeeded  in  its  design  against  New  Hampshire.  Tbe 
opposition  to  Bachiler  in  the  church  at  Hampton,  previously  a  majority, 
was  greatly  strengthened  by  the  union  of  the  provinces  in   1641.     Daltou

had  succeeded  in  excommunicating  him.  At  htst,  wearied  with  the  contest, 
Bacliiler  accppte<l  the  inevitable  and  agreed  to  remove  "for  peace's  sake," 
as  he  wrote  ^yintll^op.  In  order  to  justify  to  Winthrop  their  unhiwfu!  act 
in  excommunicating  Bachiler,  Dalton  and  his  adherents  told  Winthrop 
that  Bachiler  had  confessed  the  truth  of  the  charge  and  claimed  that  his 
offer  to  remove  voluntarily  was  a  confession  of  guilt.  That  this  act  was  a 
confession  was  indignantly  denied  by  the  pastor,  and  so  arose  the  charge 
that  he  confessed  and  then  retracted  his  confession.  Wh;it  absurd  con- 
structions were  given  to  words  in  those  days  in  order  to  allege  that  a 
confession  had  been  made  can  be  seen  by  examining  Wheelwriglit's  letter 
in  connection  with  the  statement  of  the  INIassachusetts  General  Court  in 
1644,  that  Mr.  Wheelwright  had  made  "a  particular,  solemn  and  serious 
acknowledgment  and  confession  of  his  evil  carriages  and  of  the  Court's 
justice  upon  him  for  them." 

Winthrop  a..cepted  as  true  the  word  of  Bachiler's  enemies,  and  neo-lected 
to  give  the  aged  pastor  a  hearing  for  his  vindication,  though  uro-eutlv 
demanded. 

6.  The  Hampton  town  records  of  this  date  are  silent  in  regard  to  this 
matter,  and  the  church  records  have  been  missing  for  many  years.  They 
can  give  no  testimony  either  way. 

7.  No  tradition  exists  in  Hampton  or,  so  far  as  can  be  learned,  has 
ever  existed,  giving  the  name  of  this  woman  or  her  husband,  and  no  written 
evidence  of  any  kind  has  ever  been  produced,  except  the  story  as  preserved 
by  Winthrop.  Who  was  tliis  woman.''  Was  the  complaint  made  promptly? 
Was  her  word  worthy  of  credence?  Was  she  of  pure  life?  Did  she  per- 
sist in  her  declaration  ?  Did  she  afterwards  retract  the  charge?  Did  sl;e 
live  in  Hampton  many  years  afterwards,  and  was  she  during  thi-i  time  on 
friendly  terms  vfith  the  accused  until  his  removal  from  town?  We  cannot 
test  the  truth  of  tlie  charge  by  answers  to  these  questions,  for  we  have  no 
evidence  on  these  points. 

8.  During  all  this  time  Bachiler  was  carrying  on  a  correspondence  with 
Gov.  Winthrop  and  members  of  his  fiimily.  If  he  had  confessed  the  crime 
Dalton  would  have  promptly  notified  Winthrop  of  that  fact,  and  Bachiler 
would  soon  have  found  that  Winthrop  knew  it.  On  the  contrary,  at  the 
end  of  the  year  1643  we  find  him  writing  to  the  chui-eh  at  Boston  that  he 
does  not  see  how  he  can  leave  Hampton  until  he  has  cleared  and  vindicated 
the  wrongs  he  has  suffered  in  the  church  of  which  he  was  still  a  member. 
He  demands  a  trial  of  his  allegations  against  3Ir.  Dalton  and  of  Dalton's 
defence.  He  says  that  divers  elders  and  bi^thren  have  looked  slightly  into 
the  troubles,  but  there  has  never  been  a  judicial  trial  of  them. 

He  affirms  that  his  excommunication  was  the  foulest  matter,  both  for 
the  cause  alleged  and  the  real  cause  (even  wrath  and  revenge).  The 
proceedings  of  Dalton  against  him  he  declares  to  be  monstrous  and  fearful. 

Brook  says  ''the  supposition  that  the  charges  of  immorality  against  Hu-^h 
Peter  were  true  is  inconsistent  with  the  intimate  relations  which  he  is 
known  to  have  sustained  to  many  eminent  men  of  unquestionable  worth.''* 

Would  Winthrop  and  his  family  have  been  friends  and  correspondents  of 
one  whom  they  knew  to  be  immoral  ? 

9.  It  must  ''e  remembered  that  no  charge  is  so  easily  made,  so  readily 
believed  without  proof,  and  so  difficult  to  disprove.  The  allegation  alone 
is  frequently  consiilered  full  proof.  It  was  not  incumbent  on  the  accused 
to  prove  the  negative,  that  he  was  not  guilty.     The  burden  of  proof  was

on  the  complainant  to  make  out  a  case,  and  it  certainly  never  was  proven. 
The  testimony  of  the  woman,  aided  by  confession,  would  have  made  a 
strong  case  for  the  Colony  in  a  criminal  prosecution,  and  as  the  respondent 
could  not  testify  it  would  have  been  impossible  to  produce  any  legal  evi- 
dence in  his  behalf.  This  fact  clearly  indicates  that  no  confession  that 
could  have  been  received  in  court  was  ever  made. 

In  a  like  case  in  1642.  supported  by  similar  evidence,  Rev.  James 
Parker,  then  of  Portsmouth,  thought  the  matter  not  worthy  of  complaint 
for  lack  of  evidence,  and  did  not  report  it  to  the  Massachusetts  magistrates.* 

10.  Nearly  two  years  after  his  excommunication  the  matter  was  re- 
ferred to  some  magistrates  and  elders,  and  through  their  mediation  he  was 
released  of  his  excommunication,  but  not  received  to  his  pastor's  office. 
It  is  undoubtedly  to  this  half  undoing  of  the  great  wrong  done  him  that 
Bachiler  refers  in  his  letter  to  the  church  in  Boston  in  1043,  when  he  says, 
"  Whiles  my  cause  (tho  looked  sleitly  into  by  diverse  Elders  &  brethren) 
could  never  come  to  a  judicial!  searching  forth  of  things,  &  an  impartiall 
tryall  of  my  allegations  &,  his  defence."!  Was  not  reversal  of  the  punish- 
ment a  vindication  of  the  accused?  That  the  mediators  refused  to  restore 
him  to  his  office  of  pastor  was  due  to  the  divided  state  of  the  Hampton 
church,  not  to  any  delinquency  on  the  pastor's  part. 

11.  The  year  he  was  excommunicated  he  was  chosen  umpire  in  the 
important  suit  of  Cleeve  vs.  Winter  and  Winter  vs.  Cleeve,  involving  title 
to  the  land  now  occupied  by  the  city  of  Portland,  Me.  It  is  possible  that 
this  appointment  was  prior  to  his  excommunication,  but  in  1643  he  re- 
ceived a  call  to  Casco.  They  must  then  have  known  the  slander.  Did 
they  discredit  it,  or  did  they  consider  it  no  wrong? 

12.  Even  Gov.  Winthrop  was  evidently  ashamed  of  the  means  used  by 
Dalton  to  destroy  the  good  name  of  Mr.  Bachiler,  as  he  adds  to  his  account 
of  the  trouble,  "his  fellow  elder  Mr.  Dalton  (who  indeed  had  not  carried 
himself  in  this  cau-ie  so  well  as  became  him  and  was  brought  to  see  his 
failing  and  acknowledged  it  to  the  elders  of  the  other  churches,  who  had 
taken  much  pains  about  this  matter)."  How  unjustifiable  must  have  been 
Dalton's  conduct  to  induce  Gov.  Winthrop  to  ( ensure  him  in  this  manner, 
when  Dalton  was  his  friend,  perhaps  his  relative,  certainly  a  relative  of 
his  son  John  Winthrop,  and  an  orthodox  Puritan,  for  acts  done  in  interest 
of  the  Bay  Colony. 

The  penitence  of  Dalton,  however,  could  not  undo  the  wrong  to  Bach- 
iler. Was  not  the  gift  of  most  of  her  property  to  Nathaniel  Bachiler, 
Senior,  the  grandson  of  Rev.  Stephen,  by  the  widow  Ruth,  relict  of  Rev. 
Timothy  Dalton,  evidence  of  an  attempt  on  her  part  to  atone  as  far  as 
possible  for  the  wrong  done  by  her  husband  to  Nathuniel's  grandfather  ?t 

We  have  thus  briefly  indicated  a  few  of  t;he  improbabilities  of  the  story  as 
it  has  come  down  to  us.  It  seems  utterly  unworthy  of  belief,  and  it  may 
safely  be  charged  to  the  bitterness  of  the  disputes  which  tiien  existed  in 
religious  and  secular  matters.  The  call  to  Casco,  already  mentioned,  was 
received  in  the  latter  part  of  1643.  George  Cleeve  wrote  Gov.  Winthrop 
the  27"^  of  the  ll"'  month  1643  that  "They  (the  inhabitants  of  Lygonia) 
seeing  vs  about  to  settle  our  selues  vndar  the  ministry,  and  that  the  Lord 
will  gather  a  Church  amongst  vs."§     Bachiler  communicated  with   the

250  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler.  [July, 

church  at  Boston  and  received  from  the  magistrates  and  elders  a  letter  of 
advice  urging  the  acceptance  of  the  call,  presumably  because  they  were 
weary  of  the  bickering  at  Hampton  and  thought  it  would  be  ended  by  the 
removal  of  Mr.  Bachiler. 

He  replied  to  this  letter  of  advice,  under  date  of  the  '*  'Iiq^^  of  this  last 
m.  16J'j,"  objecting  that  his  removal  from  Hampton  to  Casco  was  forced 
byeunjust  proceedings,  as  well  as  by  an  honorable  calling  from  Casco  and 
liks  honorable  advice  from  the  church  in  Boston.  He  states  his  unwilliug- 
nesl  to  accept  the  call  beiore  he  has  a  hearing  of  his  allegations  against 
Da  ton  and  asks  for  a  full  trial  of  the  same.  He  said  he  had  promised  to 
go  to  Casco  and  confer  with  them  in  regard  to  the  call  about  the  last  week 
of  March,  16-1:3-4.  This  call  probably  came  from  Cleeve,  who  had  recently 
returned  from  England  with  a  commission  fi'om  Kigby  as  deputy  president 
of  Lygonia.  While  the  call  to  Casco  was  under  consideration,  and  very 
early  in  1644,  Mr.  Baciiiler  received  a  call  to  Exeter. 

By  a  letter,  dated  the  18'''  or  ID"*  of  this  3  m.  1644,  written  by  Mr. 
Bachiler,  we  learn  that  the  Massachusetts  magistrates  and  elders  had 
considered  this  last  call  and  had  simply  advised  Mr.  Bachiler  to  remove 
from  Hampton,  leaving  him  apparently  free  to  choose  whichever  settlement 
he  pleased.  As  he  had  not  accepied  the  call  to  Casco  he  chose  to  settle  at 
Exeter,  and  notified  the  Exeter  church  of  his  acceptance.  He  also  vohiu- 
tarily  suggested  to  the  Exeter  people  that  they  could  not  expect  to  main- 
tain a  church  and  minister  long  unless  they  made  proviaion  for  a  parsonage, 
and  offered  to  contribute  forty  poumls,  nearly  the  whole  of  his  annual 
salary,  toward  the  purchase  of  Mr.  Wheelwright's  house  for  that  purpose. 
The  day  of  the  helper's  meeting  was  agreed  upon,  and  the  persons  and 
materials  of  their  intended  church.  An  unexpected  event  however  was  to 
prevent  his  settlement.  The  Bay  Colony,  discovering  the  intended  settle- 
ment at  Exeter,  then  within  their  jurisilietion,  promptly  forbade  the  gather- 
ing of  a  church  there.  Just  ten  days  after  receiving  notice  of  the  proposed 
settlement  at  PLxeter,  the  General  Court  of  Massachusetts,  held  at  Boston 
May  29,  1644,  adopted  the  following  order: 

'•  Whereas  it  appears  to  this  Co't  that  some  of  the  inhabitants  of  Exceter 
do  intend  shortly  to  gather  a  church,  &  call  M""  Bachiler  to  be  their  min- 
ister, &  forasmuch  as  the  divisions  &  contentions  w'^'^  are  amonge  the  in- 
habitants there  are  fudged  by  this  Co''t  to  bee  such  as  for  the  psnt  they  \ 
cannot  comfortably  &,  w'''  afipbation  gceed  in  so  weightly  &  sacred  atfaires,  i 
it  is  therefore  oniered,  that  direction  shalbe  fourthw"^  sent  to  the  said  in-  j 
habitants  to  deferr  the  gathering  of  any  church,  or  other  such  gceeding  I 
untill  this  Co't  or  the  Co't  at  Ipswich  (upon  further  satisfaction  of  their  • 
reconciliation  <k  titues)  shall  give  allowance  thereunto."'*                                                      i 

That  the  true  reason  for  the  prohibition  was  stated  in  this  order  is  evi-  I 

dent  because  that  reason  could  be  inquired  into  by  the  Ipswich  court,  and  | 

upon  evidence  of  their  reconciliation  and  fitness  the  order  of   the   General  | 

Court  could  be  revoked.      Winthrop  gives  the  same  reason  and  adds,  '•  aiid  \ 

beside   Mr.  Batcliellor  had    been    in    three  places  before,  and  through  his  ' 

means,  as  was  supposed,  the  churches  fell  to  such  divisions,  as  no  peace 
could  be  till  he  was  removed."!  The  General  Court  evidently  did  not 
care  to  put  its  opposition  on   that  ground.     Accepting  the  inevitable  Mr.  | 

Bachiler  settled  down  at  Hampton  again.     He  was  a  church  member,  but  | 

probably  did  not  preach.  |

1892.]  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler.  251 

At  a  General  Court  of  election,  held  at  Boston,  May  29'^  164-4,  it  was 
ordered  that  '•  Mr  Bellingham,  Mr  Saltonstall  &■  Mr  Symonds  are  ap- 
pointed a  committee  &  have  full  power  to  heer  «&;  determine  all  businesses 
at  Hampton  both  about  their  differences,  offences  &  a  new  plantation 
according  to  their  several  petitions."* 

On  the  11th  day  of  June,  1644,  on  petition  of  XpoferHussie  &  18  others 
of  ye  inhabitants  of  Hampton,  "ilr  Bellingham  Mr  Soltoustall  &  Mr 
Broadstreet  are  a   comittee  to  examine  and  judge  the  differences  between 

the  inhabitants. '"t 

This  was  undoubtedly  a  petition  of  the  adherents  of  Bachiler,  as  Hussey 
was  his  son-in-law.  It  will  be  noticed  that  the  commissioners  are  the  same 
as  previously  appointed,  except  that  Mr.  Bradstreet  takes  the  place  of  Mr. 
Symonds.  The  first  order  was  adopted  the  very  day  the  Exeter  settlement 
was  prohibited.  The  latter  was  nearly  a  fortnight  later.  Very  likely  the 
appointment  of  Mr.  Symonds  was  offensive  to  Mr.  Bachiler. 

The  same  year,  Nov.  12,  1644,  "It  is  ordered  by  the  Massachusetts 
General  Court  that  Mr  Samuell  Dudley,  Mr  Carlton,  &  ^Nlr.  .John  Saunders 
of  Salsberry  shalbe  coinis3ion''s  to  here  &  examine  all  matters  concerning 
Mr.  Bachiler  &  Hampton:  &  they  have  power  to  examine  witnesses  upon 
oath,  wherby  they  may  returne  the  truth  of  the  case  to  the  next  Gen''ail 
Co't  of  Election."! 

Under  date  of  July  15,  1644,  Winthrop  says,  "The  contentions  in 
Hampton  were  grown  to  a  great  height,  the  whole  town  was  divided  into 
two  factious,  one  with  Mr.  Batcheller.  their  late  pastor,  and  the  other  with 
Mr.  Dill  ton,  their  teacher,  both  men  very  passionate,  and  wanting  discre- 
tion and  moderation.  Their  differences  were  not  in  matters  of  opinion, 
but  of  practise.  Mr.  Dalton's  party  being  the  most  of  the  church,  and  so 
freemen,  had  great  advantage  of  the  other,  though  a  considerable  party, 
and  some  of  them  of  the  church  also,  whereby  they  carried  all  affairs  both 
in  church  and  town  according  to  their  own  minds,  and  not  with  that  respect 
to  their  brethren  and  neighbors  which  had  been  tit.  Divers  meetings  had 
been  both  of  magistrates  and  elders,  and  pp.rties  had  been  reconciled,  but 
brake  out  presently  again,  each  side  being  apt  to  take  fire  upon  any  provo- 
cation. Whereupon  Mr.  Batchellor  was  advised  to  remove.  *  *  *  And  at 
this  court  there  came  petition  againsc  petition  both  from  Hampton  and 
Exeter:  whereupon  the  court  ordered  two  or  three  ma^ristrates  to  be  sent 
to  Hampton   with  full  power  to  hear  and  determine  ail  differences  there."! 

May  14,  1635,  ''  In  answ'  to  Mr.  Batchilers  peticon,  ye  Howse  of  Dep" 
conceave  it  not  meete  to  aliowe  him  anything,  but  leave  hime  at  his 
liberty  to  seeke  his  remedy  at  any  of  ye  Courts  of  Salem  or  Ipswich. § 
This  was  probably  a  petition  to  the  General  Court  to  make  him  some 
allowance  for  his  services  at  Hampton. 

About  this  time,  probably,  his  second  wife,  Hellen,  died  at  Hampton, 
aged  about  sixty  years.  He  sold  his  farm  Hampton  to  William  Howard 
and  Thomas  Ward  in  1644,  and  they  sold  it  to  the  town,  who  afterwards 
granted  it  to  Rev.  John  Wheelwright.

252  The  Friends  in  Brentwood^  iV.  H.  [July, 


THE  FRIENDS  IN  BRENTWOOD,  N.  H. 

Communicated  by  the  Rev.  Bexjamix  A.  Dean,  A.B.,  of  Medford,  Mass. 

The  followinGT  extracts  are  from  the  Records  of  Friends  Society 
in  Amesburj,  ]Mass. 

Almsbury  1751:  5:  18  Benjamin  Scribner  James  Beane  and  Samuel 
Dudley  requested  liberty  at  this  meeting  to  liold  a  meeting  at  Brentwood 
*  *  *  the  last  first  day  of  every  month  *  *  *  which  request  was  granted 
them  so  long  as  they  behave  themselves  orderly  cfcc.  Also  David  Clifford 
desired  the  care  of  tliis  meeting:  whicli  was  granted. 

Hampton  1752:  6:  18  James  Beane  Samuel  Dudley  Benjamin  Scribner 
and  David  Clifford  desired  that  their  meeting  may  be  held  at  Brentwood 
on  every  first  day  of  the  Vv^eek  which  was  granted. 

Plampton  1 752  :  8  :  20  It  being  reported  that  tliere  are  disorders  amongst 
the  people  of  Brentwood,  this  meeting  appoints  B.  Hoag  and  Robert  Rog^^rs 
to  visit  said  meeting  and  mai<e  inquiry  into  the  affair  and  report  to  our  next 
Monthly  fleeting  how  they  find  things  amongst  them. 

1752:  9:  28.  Almsbury  The  Report  of  those  appointed  to  visit  the 
people  of  Brentwood  is  that  there  is  disorder  amongst  tiiera:  two  speaking 
at  a  time  in  their  meetings.  *  *  This  meeting  appointed  Obadiah  Johnson 
John  Peaslee  and   Abraham   Dow   to  labor  with   those  of  the  meeting  at  , 

Brentwood  that  desired  Friends  care  if  possible  to  persu;ide  them  to  comply  j 

with  the  good  order  practised  amongst  [Friends];  also  that  the  Friends  let  | 

them  know  the  minutes  that  are  made  amongst  Friends  relating  discipline.  | 

Hampton    1753:   2:   15:     To    James    Beane  Samuel   Dudley   Benjamin  | 

Scribner  and  David  Clifford.     You  having  desired  the  care  of  our  Monthly  I 

Meeting  *  *   *  also   requested,    with  said  liberty,   to   hold   a  meeting  at  ; 

Brentwood  which  we  allow  was  granted  so  lotig  as  you  behaved  orderly  and  • 

according  to  the  practices  of  Friends  in  general :  now  it  publicly  appeariusj  | 

to  several  of  our  Friends  that  your  behavior  is  disorderly  and  tlie  meetings  • 

you  say  are  appointed  for  the  worsliip  of  God  *  *  *  In  several  particulars 
as  foUoweth  viz :  Firstly  in  several  persons  men  and  women  speaking  at 
one  time  in  your  meetings,  which  is  to  be  condemned  by  all  Christian 
people  that  pretend  to  worship  God  *  *  Secondly  as  to  your  saluting  each 
other  men  and  women  old  and  young  pretending  it  to  be  a  kiss  of  charity, 
is  not  to  be  commended  in  the  way  and  manner  it  is  practised  in  your 
meetings  :  its  to  be  feared  will  prove  of  inconsequence  if  you  continue  therein. 
Thirdly  as  to  your  holding  meetings  at  unseasonable  Friends'  days  or 
nights  is  contrary  to  the  practice  of  Friends  and  not  to  be  justified  amongst 
us.  And  for  the  before  mentioned  practices  with  other  disorderly  beliavior 
and  speeches  not  becoming  the  profession  of  truth  its  expected  you  will  give 
an  answer  to  any  reasonable  question  that  shall  be  asked  any  of  you  and 
that  you  will  conform  to  the  good  order  and  discipline  used  amongst  us  as 
a  people,  and  condemn  all  such  behavior  and  speeches  that  you  have  been 
in  the  practice  of  in  the  time  past  that  are  contrary  to  the  principles  and 
practices  of  Friends  in  general.     Now  wo  desire  your  answer  in  writing  to 


.^^^] 


1892.]  The  Friends  in  Brentwood,  ^Y.  H.  253 

the  particulars  before  mentioned  ;  the  which  if  vou  refuse  or  neglect,  we 
judge  ourselves  obliged  to  publicly  declare  to  the  world  that  you  are  not 
of  us.  Signed  by  order  and  on  behalf  of  our  monthly  meeting  holden  at 
Hampton  the  lo""  day  of  the  2*^  mouth  1753  or  at  adjournment  of  said 
meeting  on  21"  of  said  month  by  Philip  Rowell,  Clerk. 

Hampton  1753:  4:  19  Also  received  from  Brentwood  in  writing  an 
answer  to  them  signed  by  Benjamin  Scribner  and  David  Clifford.  James 
Bean  and  Samuel  Dudley  refused  to  sign  it.  Said  writing  was  not  to 
Friends  satisfaction  therefore  not  recorded  here. 

Almsbury  1753:5:17  House  of  Jacob  Rowell.  Upon  consideration 
of  the  practices  of  the  people  of  Brentwood  it  is  the  mind  of  this  meeting 
that  whereas  Friends  give  liberty  to  hold  a  meeting  at  Brentwood,  that 
they  hold  a  meeting  there  no  more  from  this  time  in  the  unity  of  Friends 
until  they  condemn  the  disorders  that  has  beeu  in  their  meetings  for  worship 
at  Brentwood. 

The  Almsbury  &  Haraptou  meeting  withdrew  fellowship  from  James 
Beane  1753  :  6:21;  from  Samuel  Dudley  9  :  20 ;  from  Beiijamia  Scribner 
David  Cliiford  and  Jonathan  Glidden  1756:  10  :  21. 

The  following  paper  is  from  the  original  MS.  preserved  in 
Brentwood,  N.  H.  : 

To  the  friends  or  people  called  Quakers  belonging  to  Hampton.  Dearly 
beloved  wee  having  receaved  your  Letter  Dated  ye  lo""  of  ye  2  month  1753 
signed  by  order  of  the  ^Monthly  meeting  in  said  hampton  as  sayeth  Philip 
Rowel  Clerk,  wherein  you.  or  therein  you  take  notice  of  severall  misde- 
meanors or  disorders  practised  amongst  ye  friends-att-Brintwood  ;  and 
desired  an  answer  to  the  said  Letter  in  writing  but  wee  take  notice 
in  your  said  Letter  that  you  have  not  Fist  any  sett  time  for  our  returning 
our  said  answer  for  which  wee  give  you  our  thanks  and  take  it  as  a 
feavour.  for  that  we  have  had  time  for  a  more  acute  observation  «&; 
mature  Consideration  as  to  the  matters  of  fact  alledged  against  us  the 
Friends  at  Brintwood.  and  upon  the  serious  consideration  of  the  whole: 
dearly  beloved  wee  think  that  the  articles  aledged  against  us  as  the  sub- 
stance of  them  are  groundles;  for  as  to  the  first  objection  in  your  Letter  of 
severall  spaking  at  a  time  :  in  time  of  divine  service  or  worship  it  is  not 
common  neither  do  wee  approve  of  it;  as  to  the  seccond  objection  of  salute- 
ing  one  another  there  is  so  many  Instances  of  it  in  scripture  that  we  are 
astonished  that  you  should  stumble  at  that;  But  as  to  Itts  being  practised 
in  time  of  worship  wee  deny;  and  as  to  ye  3  objection  of  unseasonable 
meetings  wee  think  that  there  is  no  time  unseasonable  for  praying  or 
Preaching  ItF  the  Lord  dispose  us  to  itt  Ijy  his  spirit ;  and  as  to  the  many 
more  disorders  you  hint  at  it  is  impossible  wee  should  answer  to  them,  as 
you  have  been  so  unkind  as  not  to  mention  pai'ticulars.  and  so  dearly 
Beloved  Brethren  wee  submit  the  matter  to  your  serious  consideration  And 
if  wee  are  weak  treat  us  as  babes  as  brethren  and  as  friends;  and  let  us  not 
Bite  and  devour  one  another,  but  let  us  Bear  one  anothers  burdens  and  so 
fullfil  the  Law  of  Christ,  so  no  more  but  we  Remain  your  Loving  christian 
Brethren  and  Friends  as  wee  think  wee  are  in  duty  Bound  Farewell.  Dated 
at  Brentwood  ye  Z^  day  of  ye  4'^  month  Called  April  1753.

1892.]  Parentage  of  Rev.  Nicholas  Street.  257 


PARENTAGE   OF  KEY.  KECHOLAS  STPwEET,   OF  NEW 

HAVEN,  CT. 

Communicated  by  Mr.  J.  Henry  Lea,  of  Cedarhurst,  FairLaven,  Mass. 

The  writer  being  engaged,  in  the  summer  of  1890,  in  a  genealo- 
gical quest  in  the  County  of  Somerset,  particularly  Taunton  and  its 
neighborhood,  made  an  extensive  collection  of  Street  items  under 
the  mistaken  impression  that  that  family  was  connected  with  one  in 
which  he  was  tlien  interested,  and  his  attention  being  called  to  the 
article  in  the  Register  (April,  1890,  page  183),  on  Rev.  Nicholas 
Street,  it  at  once  occurred  to  him  to  endeavor  to  solve  the  mystery 
in  which  his  origin  was  enveloped.  This  he  at  the  time  believed  he 
had  done  in  finding  the  baptism  of  a  Nicholas  Street  at  Pitminster, 
near  Taunton,  3  March,  1604,  as  this  gave  a  very  close  approxima- 
tion to  the  required  age  of  18  at  his  matriculation  at  Oxford  21 
February,  1624-5. 

Subsequently  however,  the  discovery,  in  the  Bridgwater  Registers, 
of  the  baptism  of  Nicholas,  29  January,  1603.  caused  him  to  sus- 
pect that  his  former  conclusion  had  been  erroneous,  and  an  examina- 
tion of  the  Street  Wills  in  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury  at 
once  and  conclusively  settled  the  question,  proving  beyond  a  doubt 
the  identity  of  Nicholas  of  Taunton,  the  emigrant  to  America,  and 
Nicholas,  the  son  of  Nicholas,  Jun.,  of  Bridgwater. 

The  accompanying  pedigree  is  of  course  somewhat  conjectural, 
the  examination  of  the  Bridgwater  Registers  having  been  cut  short 
for  lack  of  time  to  properly  complete  them,  thus  failing  to  give  us 
the  burial  of  Susanna  (Gilberd),  the  first  wife  of  Nicholas,  a  fact 
which  is  needed  to  complete  the  identification  ;  while  to  verify  the 
theory  here  advanced  of  Nicholas  Street,  Sen.,  being  identical  with 
Nicholas,  the  son  of  Richard  of  Stogumber  (suggested  by  the  v/ill 
of  the  said  Nicholas,  Sen.,  in  which  an  interest  in  that  place  is  be- 
queathed to  his  younger  son  Thomas),  can  only  be  accomplished  by 
an  exhaustive  examination  of  the  parish  registers  of  Bridgwater, 
Stogumber  and  Bicknoller,  which  the  family  will  no  doubt  at  once 
undertake  now  that  the  path  to  be  followed  has  been  made  clear. 
The  last  two  parishes  lie  about  twelve  miles  west  of  Bridgwater  and 
about  fourteen  north-west  of  Taunton,  and  within  a  couple  of  miles 
of  one  another.  Their  registers  date  from  1559  and  1558  respec- 
tively. Bawdripp,  also  referred  to  in  the  same  will,  is  quite  near 
Bridgwater  on  the  north-east,  but  its  register  has  unfortunately 
perished  before  1748. 

Overstowey,  the  register  of  which  is  given  herewith,  is  only  about 
four  miles  from  Stogumber  and  BicknoUer,   but  the  Quantox  Hills

lie  between  and  the  names  found  there  show  no  connection  with  the 
latter. 

The  Street  Wills  in  the  Consistory  Court  at  Wells  should  also  be 
thoroughly  examined,  as  the  Arch-deacon's  Court  at  Taunton  was 
inhibited  during  the  Primary  or  Triennial  Visitation  of  the  Bishop, 
when  all  wills  subject  to  this  jurisdiction  would  have  been  proved  at 
Wells,  while  those  of  the  greater  part  of  the  County  were  always  so. 

The  writer's  collection  of  Street  notes  is  quire  large,  but  only 
those  connected  with  Somerset  are  here  given  as  being  po5.s«5/?/, 
although  not  all  certainly,  connected  with  the  emigrant's  family. 
It  will  be  observed  that  a  very  perfect  pedigree  can  be  constructed 
of  the  Pitminster  line  which  is  no  doubt  comigerous,  as  the  ftxmily 
names  are  largely  identical,  but  the  point  of  connection,  if  any,  is 
lost  in  the  twilight  of  the  early  16th  century.  Probably  all  the 
families  of  the  name  in  Somerset  and  the  adjoining  counties  took 
their  cognomen  from  Street  near  Glastonbury,  which  is  only  about 
twelve  miles  east  of  Bridgwater. 

It  is  with  great  satisflictiun  that  the  writer  adds  one  more  to  the 
many  early  emigrants  whom  he  has  been  able  to  identify  in  their 
Old  World  Homes.  To  Mr.  J.  H.  Treat  of  Lawrence  his  thanks 
are  due  for  kind  permission  to  use  these  notes,  collected  while  en- 
gaged in  the  successful  search  for  that  gentleman's  ancestry,  and  to 
the  many  friends  in  England  who  have  made  his  labors  there  a 
pleasure  he  can  never  weary  of  expressing  his  cordial  appreciation 
of  their  kindness.

The  following  brief  extracts,  by  no  means  exhaustive,  were  the  fruit  of  a  few  rl.iys 
hurried  examination  of  a  vast  mass  of  ancient  documents,  the  proper  investiiration  cf  wljich 
■would  have  demanded  months,  it' not  years,  of  stutly.  The  ^lanorof  Taui.ton  Deane  is  one 
of  the  oldest  in  England,  dating  from  the  time  of  King  Alfred,  but  previous  to  the  reign  of 
Edward  VI.  only  a  few  fragmentary  rolls  exis^t;  after  that  period  the  existing  Register 
Books  are  nearly  complete  but  in  a  sad  state  of  disorder  and  decay.  The  writer's  most 
cordial  thanks  are  due  to  Mr.  Mayler,  the  present  steward  cf  the  Manor,  for  nermission  to 
ft-eely  examine  thcfe  important  records,  and  also  to  Mr.  Bidgood,  the  librarian  of  Tauntou

LoxG  JtTJiciAL  Tekms. — William  W.  Wight,  A.M.,  of  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  has 
■written  an  article  on  this  subject.  It  was  printed  in  the  Milwaukee  Sentinel,  Dec. 
31, 1891,  the  dav  when  the  Hon.  Orsamus  C<^le,  chief  justice  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  "Wisconsin,  retired  from  the  bench  after  an  uninterrupted  service  of  over 
thirty-six  years,  during  eleven  years  of  wiiich  he  was  ciiief  justice.  Mr.  Wight 
gives  a  sketch  of  the  life  of  chief  justice  Cole.  He  appends  a  table  showing, 
as  he  thinks,  "  the  names  of  all  the  judges  in  all  of  the  highest  courts  of  all  the 
States  and  in  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States,  whose  terms  of  con- 
tinuous service  upon  the  same  bench  have  equalled  or  exceeded  thir^-y  years."

Peasler. — Rev.  Daniel  Lancaster's  History  of  Gilmanton,  N.  H.,  page  282,  says 
that  Col.  Nathaniel  Peaslee,  son  of  Dr.  Joseph  Peaslee  of  Haverhill,  JIass.,  was 
father  of  Amos  Peaslee  who  settled  in  Dover,  N.  H.  This  is  an  error.  Amos 
Peaslee  of  Dover,  N.  H.,  was  son  of  Robert  of  Haverhill,  and  nephew  of  Col. 
Nathaniel.  Col.  Nathaniel  had  a  son,  Amos,  but  he  was  not  our  Dover  citizen. 
Amos*  Peaslee  (Robert, ^  Joseph,'  Joseph'),  b.  8  Oct.  1703;  m.  (1)  Elizabeth

QtrERIES. 


The  Alden  Family. — John  Alden,  the  Pilgrim,  was  bom  in  England  in  15S9, 
and  died  at  Duxbury,  12th  September,  1687.  He  married  before  June,  1621, 
probably  in  May,  Priscilla  Mnlliaes — daughter  of  William  MuUines  and  Alice 
(  ?)  his  Mife.     Mr.  William  W.  Wight  of  Milwaukee  says  in  his  sketch, 

"  Courtship  of  Miles  Standish,"  that  they  were  from  Dorking,  Surrey,  England;: 
and  two  children  were  left  in  England,  and  two  were  brought  here.  We  know 
Priscilla  and  Joseph  came  with  their  parents,  and  that  Joseph  died  the  first 
year.  In  Henry  F.  Waters's  Genealogical  Gleanings  in  England,  we  find  that 
Mr.  William  ^Iullines  spoke  of  one  son  only  in  England,  giving  him  certain 
property,  and  more  '•  if  he  came  to  America."  Then  we  find  in  Plyniovith  a 
Wm.  Mullins  "  able  to  bear  arms  in  164:3."  Is  this  not  the  son,  and  does  any 
one  know  anything  further  of  him — whether  he  left  a  family,  &c.?  A  Moses 
MuUin  wrote  a  short  poem  on  the  Standish-Alden  episode — quoted  by  Mr. 
Wight — in  1762.  Mr.  Wiglit  and  Mrs.  Jane  Austin  in  her  "  Standish  of  Standish" 
speak  of  the  MuUines  as  of  French  extraction.  I  would  like  their  authority  for 
this. 

Bradford  speaks  of  John  Alden  as  a  "  cooper"  by  trade;  not  a  member  of  the 
congregation  at  Leyden,  and  persuaded  to  come  to  this  country  "  being  a  hop- 
fnl  yong  man  was  much  desired,  but  left  to  his  own  liking  to  go  or  stay,  when 
he  came  here." 

Bradford  also  says  at  a  certain  date  (and  I  %vould  like  this  date),  John  and 
Priscilla  had  eleven  children  living.     We  know  that  he  had: — 

1.  John,  bora  before  March,  1622. 

2.  Elizabeth,  born  before  May,  1625. 

3.  Joseph,  born  1624.

270  Ifotes  and  Queries.  [July* 

In  a  grant  of  land  to  John  Alden,  two  children,  John  and  Elizabeth,  are 
spoken  of,  but  as  Joseph  (Alden  Memorial)  died  Feb.  2,  1G97,  a^ed  73,  it  ■would 
look  as  if  he  was  born  in  1024.     Can  any  one  settle  this  question? 

4.  David,  born  in  162G;  died  in  1719,  aged  93. 

5.  Sarah,  born  when?  married  Alexander  Standish  when?  and  where?  and 
when  did  she  die?     She  died  before  1688. 

6.  Ruth,  born  when?  married  in  1657  John  Bass,  and  died  before  1688.  I 
would  like  the  exact  date. 

7.  Jonathan ;  when  was  he  born  or  how  old  was  he  when  he  died? 

8.  Mary,  married  before  1677,  died  between  1688  and  1699.  She  was  alive 
at  the  settlemeut  of  her  father's  estate  in  1688.  When  did  she  die,  and  when 
was  she  born,  and  when  was  she  married,  and  did  she  have  children?  She 
married  Thomas  DiUano. 

9.  Rebecca  is  mentioned  in  Colonial  Records  as  of  marriageable  age  in  1661, 
and  was  uudoubteily  one  of  these  eleven  children,  though  dead  in  1688. 

10.  Is  it  Zachariah?  Alden  :Meraori:i.l  says  an  Anna  Alden  married  Josiah 
Snell,  Dec.  2,  1699,  and  quotes  Mitchell  as  saying  '•  daughter  of  Zachariah." 
He  does  not  seem  to  me  to  be  Zachariah,  son  of  Capt.  John,^  and  I  have 
thought  he  was  a  brother  of  Capt.  John'  Aldeu.  Wfiere  did  Anna  Alden  marry 
Josiah  SntU? 

11.  A  Priscilla  married  Samuel  Cheesebrook  in  1699.  Wliere?  Was  this  the 
eleventh  child  or  was  it  Priscilla  (Mullins)  Alden? 

John  Alden  was  the  "  last  male  survivor  of  those  who  came  in  the  May 
Flower  and  signed  the  compact  in  her  cabin  in  1620."  (Alden  Memorial.) 
Does  this  mean  the  last  male  signer,  or  the  last  male  of  the  Mayflower?  Did 
Priscilla  (Mullins)  Alden  outlive  her  husband,  and  when  diil  she  die? 

John  Alden  distributed  his  estate  amongst  bis  children  before  his  death.  The 
homestead  went  to  Jonathan,  the  youngest  son,  with  whom  he  lived  at  the  time 
of  his  death,  and  the  heirs  signed  a  .settlement  acknowledging  that  they  had 
received  their  due.  I  wish  now  to  call  the  especial  attention  of  yenealogisls  to  a 
puzzle.    Who  is  Mary,  in  the  signers  given  below? 

John  Alden  (seal)  David  Alden  (seal)  Wm.  Paybody  (seal) 

Joseph  Alden  (seal)  Priscilla  Alden  (seal) 

Alexander  Standish  (seal)  in  the  right  of  my  wife  Sarah,  deceased. 

John  Bass  (seal)  in  the  riirht  of  my  wife  Ruth,  deceased. 

Mary  Alden  (seal)  Thomas  Dillano  (seal) 

Dated  13  day  of  June,  1688. 

We  see  that  Wm.  Pabodie  and  Thomas  Dillano  have  wives  living,  Elizabeth 
ard  Mary,  and  their  names  are  not  mentioned,  whUe  Alexander  Standish  and 
John  Bass  speak  of  their  wives  by  name. 

Now  Mary  (Alden)  Dillano  had  been  married  over  ten  years,  her  husband 
signs  for  her ;  now  is  it  probable  she  would  sign  arjain,  and  sign  her  maiden  name? 
Is  it  probable  that  there  were  t>j:o  Marys?  ~  Is  it  not  more  probable  that  she  is 
the  wife  of  another  son,  either  dead  or  absent,  perhaps  wife  of  Zachariah? 
Perhaps  he  was  a  mariner.  I  suppose  the  question  could  be  settled  if  we  could 
find  the  signature  of  Thomas  Dillano  and  wife  and  compare  her  signature  with 
the  one  in  the  settlement.  I  would  be  glad  of  any  further  particulars  in  regard 
to  any  of  these  children,  or  any  Alden  items  not  found  in  Alden  Memorial  or 
Winsor's  History  of  Duxbury. 

Capt.  John-  Alden  (John')  was  able  to  bear  arms  in  1643,  freeman  1648,  a 
"John  Alden,  Junr.,"  spoken  of  in  Duxbury  in  1658.  He  married  somewhere 
an  Elizabeth  (who  was  she?)  and  had  a  child'Marv,  burn  (where?)  Dec.  17,  1659. 
He  married  in  1660,  Elizabeth  (Phillips)  Evercll.  daughter  of  Wm.  Phillips  of 
Watertown  and  Saco.  When  did  the  tirst  wife  die,  and  where?  I  would  like  to 
know  more  of  his  life  between  1648  and  1658.  Mr.  Joseph  W.  Porter  of  Bangor, 
Maine,  has  a  great  deal  of  interest  about  hira  afti-r  he  came  to  Boston.  I  would 
like  a  full  account  of  his  family,  more  than  we  And  in  the  Alden  Memorial.  I 
would  like  the  marriage  of  Elizabetli  Walley.  and  her  husband's  name,  and  her 
family;  also  full  particulars  of  her  second  husband,  for  Winsor  says  she  mar- 
ried 2d,  before  Aug.  4,  1704,  a  Willard. 

Any  information  is  most  thankfully  received.         Mrs.  Chakles  L.  Alden.

Martha  (Vose)  BrcK^MiNSTER. — Robert  Vose  of  Dorchester,  in  will  of  1686, 
mentions  daughter  }tlartha,  who  was  a  widow  Buckmaster  (Buckminsttr).  His 
daughter  Elizabeth  married  Thomas  Swift,  of  Dorchester-Milton.  John  Sharpe 
"writes  in  1676,  a  few  weeks  before  his  death  in  the  Sudbury  tight,  to  Thomas 
Meekins  of  Braintree-Katlield,  his  guardian  after  the  death  ofRobert  Sharpe 
and  the  marriaa:e  of  the  widow  to  Nicholas  Clap:  "My  mother  Vose  is  ded 
(sic)  and  my  sister  Swift,"  showing  tliat  ;Martha,  wife'of  John  Sharpe,  was 
Martha  Vose,  above  mentioned.  What  Buckminster  did  she  marry?  Savage 
gives  a  James  of  the  name  as  an  original  proprietor  at  Sudbury  in  1640,  and 
that  is  the  sole  mention  of  the  man.  The  others  of  the  name  were  Thomas,  son 
of  John  of  Feterboro',  Eng.,  and  his  descendants.  His  children  were  Law- 
rence, who  left  a  will  in  1645,  before  sailing  for  England,  and  who  is  not  heard 
of  again  :  Zechariali,  who  was  at  Sherborn  in  1692  with  wife  Mary  :  Thomas, 
■who  died  in  1639,  leaving  wife  and  daughter,  both  named  Mary:  Joseph,  ■who 
died  in  16o8  leaving  wife  Elizabeth  and  son  Joseph,  who  -^/as  the  ancestor  of  all 
of  the  name  who  trace  to  Thornas.  and  .Jabez,  who  was  of  Muddy  River  and  who 
is  found  there  as  late  as  the  spring  of  1685,  when  he  disappears.  Joseph,  Jr. 
married  Martha,  daughter  of  John  and  Martha  (Vos-?)  Sharpe,  and  was  alive  at 
the  death  of  Robert  Vose.  This  leaves  .Jabez  Buckminster  as  the  only  one  of 
the  name  who  could  probably  have  married  the  widow  Sharpe.  Infoi-matioa 
regarding  Jabez  Buckminster,  after  ihe  date  of  the  wiLl  of  Robert  Vose,  would, 
disprove  this  assumption.  Edward  H.  Willjams,  Jr.. 


Portrait  of  Col.  Joseph  Jackson. — The  article  upon  Gen.  Henry  Jack.son, 
in  the  April  number  of  the  Rkgi.^tek,  I  have  read  with  much  interest,  which 
arises  from  the  fact  that  in  1879  I  made  a  long  but  successful  search  to  find  a 
portrait  of  Colonel  Joseph  Jackson,  the  lather  of  Gen.  Henry.  Jacksou.  C'>L 
Joseph  Jackson  was  Captaiii  of  the  Ancient  and  Hnno-able  Artillery  Company 
in  1752.  He  joined  the  Company  in  17::i8  and  died  1790.  My  only  clue  to  start 
with  was  mdtman's  History  of  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery  Company,  page 
289,  which  says  :  "  Hi'^  will  disposes  of  his  portrait  to  his  son  Joseph."  Upon,

[July, 


The  next  thing  I  did  was  to  trace  out  the  family  of  Rev.  Joseph  Jackson ; 
and  at  last  I  found  the  portrait  in  possession  of  Atherton  T.  Brown,  Esq.,  of 
Roxbury,  who  very  kindly  allowed  me  to  take  a  large  photograph  of  it.  Mr. 
Brown  believed  the  portrait  to  be  that  of  Gen.  Henry  Jackson,  but  I  soon 
satisfied  him  to  the  contrary.  At  tirst  glance  at  the  portrait  I  knew  it  to  be  by 
Copley,  but  to  make  it  more  sure  I  induced  the  late  Augustus  T.  Perkins  to 
make  an  examination,  and  he  at  once  without  the  slightest  hesitancy  pronounced 
it  the  work  of  Copley. 

As  Col.  Henry  Jackson  was  but  27  years  of  age  in  1774,  when  Copley  went 
to  England,  and  as  the  picture  is  that  of  an  elderly  gentleman,  there  can  be  no 
doubt  but  that  it  represents  CoL  Joseph  Jackson,  who  was  boru  in  1707.

date  of  1610,  first  dragged  from  its  hiding-place  in  Spain  by  Mr.  Brown,  and 
inserted  in  his  Genesis  of  the  United  States,  vol.  i.  p.  456.  It  has  been  called 
the  Simancas  map,  by  way  of  description.  A  reduced  facsimile  of  a  portion  of 
the  map  is  given  below. 


If  the  date  assigned  to  this  map  by  Mr.  Brown  could  be  thoroughly  well 
established,  then  the  interest  felt  in  it,  especially  by  students  of  New-England 
history  and  cartology,  would  be  easily  accounted  for;  yet  as  the  matter  stands 
I  am  led  to  question  its  claims  upon  grounds  which  seem  to  make,  to  my  mind 
at  least,  a  clear  case  against  it.

Mr.  Brown's  own  account  of  this  map — and  here  for  the  sake  of  clearness  I 
shall  have  to  repeat  what  has  already  appeared  in  the  Register — is  as  follows : 
"  Map  of  America — said  to  have  been  made  in  Virsjinia  by  a  surveyor  sent  over 
by  the  King  of  England  fur  that  purpose,  who  returned  "to  England  about  De- 
cember 1610,  procured  in  some  secret  M-ay  by  the  Spanish  ambassador  in  Lon- 
don etc."  Genesis  i.  4.57.  "I  think  the  map  evidently  embodies  (besides  the 
surveys  of  Champlaiu  and  otlier  foreigners)  the  English  surveys  of  White, 
Gosnold,  Weymouth,  Priug,  Hudson,  Argall  and  Tyndall,  and  possibly  others." 
Ibid.  i.  458. 

The  first  objection  to  this  theory,  for  theory  it  is  and  nothing  else,  is  that 
the  map  itself  bears  no  date.  If  I  have  read  Mr.  Brown's  remarks  correctly  his 
theory  rests  upon  the  assumption  that  this  is  the  identical  map  referred  to  in 
the  Spanish  minister's  dispatch.  To  establish  this  proposition  the  date  would 
be  needed  first  of  all.  There  being  none,  we  are  led  to  look  at  the  evidence 
borne  on  the  face  of  the  map  itself. 

Whether,  as  regards  the  New-Eugland  coast,  this  map  embodies  the  surveys 
of  Gosnold,  Weymouth  or  Pring.  1  have  no  means  of  knowing,  never  having 
seen  either  of  them  or  having  other  evidence  to  the  fact  beyond  the  legends 
attached  to  the  coast  here  and  there;  but  with  regard  to  Champlain  the  case  is 
different.  Here,  at  least,  we  have  something  definite,  inasmuch  as  that  part  of 
the  map  in  question,  covering  the  Nova  Scotia  and  Eastern  Maine  coasts,  is 
liberally  dotted  with  Charaplain's  legends.  Two  of  the  latter.  Isle  Haute  and 
Monts  Deserts.  Champlain  expressly  says  that  he  himself  conferred.  Ou  that 
head  there  will  be,  I  think,  no  dispute. 

But  Champlain's  map  was  not  cut  till  the  year  1612,  or  printed  till  1G13,  when 
it  first  appeared  in  his  well-known  Voyages.  The  question  then  naturally  arises, 
how  could  a  map  drawn  three  years  before  exhibit  these  names  of  his?  Either 
the  maker  of  the  Simancas  map  must  have  had  access  to  Charaplain's  drawings, 
a  presumption  highly  inprobable  on  its  face,  or  the  date  of  1610  is  a  palpable 
error.  But  we  are  discussing  a  map  without  a  date  or  name,  hence  until  its 
identity  is  established  its  authority  to  settle  disputed  questions  is  not  admitted. 

If  the  Simancas  map  is  certainly  not  earlier  than  1613,  it  is  probably  not 
older  than  Smith's  of  1614,  and  possibly  much  later  than  his.  I  should  certaiuly 
assign  a  later  date  to  it,  and  for  this  reason:  it  is  entirely  too  good  for  the 
state  of  discovery  at  that  early  period  of  the  seventeenth  century — far  better 
than  either  Champlain's  or  Smith's — and  therefore  argues  a  deliberate  and 
painstaking  survey,  rather  than  a  hasty  one.  The  trend  and  shaping  of  the 
coast  lines  would  do  no  discredit  to  a  much  later  time.  All  the  prominent 
features  of  the  ;Maine  coast  are,  as  one  can  see,  laid  down  with  surprising 
accuracy.  It  is  no  haphazard  sketch.  Take  for  instance  the  entrance  to  the 
Kennebec,  where  even  the  inside  passage  from  Bath  to  Boothbay  is  correctly 
drawn.  The  draught  was  probably  made  more  with  reference  to  Old  Virginia 
than  New  England,  and  is  therefore  no  trustworthy  evidence  to  the  state  of 
discovery  in  1610.  But  I  will  not  prolong  the  discussion,  though  it  would  be 
interesting  to  know  the  sources  from  which  this  map  was  taken.  It  wiU  be 
noticed  that  while  there  are  no  indications  of  the  Fopham  Colony's  fort  and 
settlement,  Cape  Porpus  is  put  down  with  reasonable  correctness.

Denisox  (ante,  p.  127). — I  am  greatly  interested  in  the  autobiography  of 
Maj.  Gen.  Daniel  Denison,  which  appeared  in  the  April  number  of  the  Register. 
"We  have  always  had  a  tradition  in  our  branch  of  the  family  (from  Capt.  George 
brother  of  Danielj  that  we  came  from  Hertfordshire,  but  from  what  part  we 
knew  not.     It  is  very  pleasant  to  have  the  tradition  verified. 

In  relation  to  John,  of  whom  you  ask  further  infonnation,  I  find  the  following 
in  Cussans's  History  of  Hertfordshire,  vol.  i.,  p.  ls2.  Among  the  vicars  of 
Standon,  hundred  of  Braughin.  six  miles  from  Bishop-Stortford,  is  the  name  of 
John  Denison  with  date  of  institution  omitted.  An  asterisk  at  the  name  refers 
to  a  foot-note  as  follows:  "This  vicarage  sequestered  and  Mr.  Rodes  is  per- 
mitted by  the  parishioners  to  preach  (Lansdowne  MSS.  45'J,  fol.  109,  circa 
1636.)" 

The  next  entry  below  John  Denisoa  is :  "John  Wade  21  Oct  1670,  upon  death 
of  John  Deunison." 

I  find  the  following  in  relation  to  Standon  in  the  same  work.     The  church  and

In  26th  Henry,  viii.,  on  the  dissolution  of  religions  houses,  the  vicarage  was 
valued  at  £1-1:  13s  4d  per  annum.  -'In  1650  it  was  set  down  by  the  commis- 
sioners appointed  by  the  parliament  to  enquire  into  the  state  of  ecclesiastical 
benetices,  at  i'oO  per  annum,  but  the  living  was  sequestered  and  without  a 
minister,  whereupon  one  '  Master  Rhodes,  a  painfull  godly  man,'  was  licensed 
to  preach  in  tlie  church  without  a  li.xed  salary,  but  with  power  to  appropriate  as 
much  of  the  tythe  as  he  could  collect." 

I  find  in  the  Astor  Library  no  record  of  Cambridge  graduates  earlier  than 
1666  ;  so  I  cannot  trace  him  further  here. 

I  noted  in  Cussans's  history  also  that  Denison  is  a  common  name  in  the  records 
of  Great  Munden,  Herts. 

I  am  sorry  that  I  did  not  know  of  this  last  summer  when  I  was  in  Hertford-

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  dated  4  May,  1892,  from  the  Rev. 
J.  J.  Raven,  D.D.,  canon  of  NorM'icb,  and  vicar  of  Fressingfleld,  Harleston,

"  On  reading  the  autobiography  of  Major  General  Daniel  Denison  in  the  April

'•  Daniel  Denison,  Emmanuel,  A.B.  1629. 

"From  the  Rev.  William  Magan  Campion,  D.D.,  President  of  Queen's  Col-

Queen's  College  on  the  oUth  March,  1620,  Mr.  Bolton  being  his  tutor.  I  cannot 
find  anything  else  about  him.' 

"  I  will  pursue  the  investigation  with  the  courts  of  Hertford,  as  I  have

BrBLE  "Family  Records  {Ante,  vol.  44,  p.  400;  vol.  46,  p.  180).— Gen.  William 
S.  Stryker,  of  Trenton,  N.  J.,  writes. — "  I  have  examined  the  copy  of  the  Col- 
lins Bible  which  I  liave.  It  is  the  edition  published  in  Trenton  in  1791  and  it 
does  contain  three  blank  leaves  between  the  old  and  new  testament,  evidently 
intended  for  family  record.  The  copy  of  the  Bible  I  have  contains  the  family 
record  carefully  written  out  on  these  leaves." 

I  have  recently  examined  the  family  Bible  of  Exekiel  French,  of  Sandwich, 
N.  H.  This  Bible  was  published  by  Isaac  Collins,  Trenton,  N.  J.,  1791,  and  has 
provision  for  the  Family  record  as  described  by  General  Stryker.  This  Bible 
is  now  owned  by  Charles  H.  White,  Surgeon  U.  S.  Navy.  Dr.  White  is  a 
grandson  of  E.  French.  A.  A.  Folsom.

The  agitation  of  the  question  of  the  earliest  publication  in  America  of  a 
family  Bible  including  the  records,  has  induced  me  to  examine  an  heir-loom  in  rav 
possession,  wliich  I  tind  was  published  by  Matthew  Carey  on  November  7,  1803. 
Carey  was  an  Irishman  who  became  involved  in  tlie  troubles  of  that  country  at 
the  close  of  the  last  century,  and  escaping  to  Philadelphia  established  there  the 
respectable  publishing  house  subsequently  continued  by  his  son  and  son-in-law 
under  the  name  of  Carey  &  Lea.  Matthew  Carey  always  claimed  that  he  was 
the  first  American  publisher  of  a  family  Bible  of  the  kind,  and  stated  he  kept  it 
set  up  in  type  to  be  printed  from  time  to  time  to  meet  the  demand.  Hence  the 
difi^erent  dates  on  the  title  page. 

An  inscription  on  niy  copy  states  it  was  "  bought  of  Ilezekiah  Niles,  printer 
and  stationer,  Wilmington,  Delaware.  Price  7  dollars."  Niles  soon  after  re- 
moved to  Baltimore  and  later  began  the  publication  of  his  celebrated  "  Weekly 
Register"  so  essential  to  a  historian  of  the  period  from  the  close  of  Jefferson's 
administration  down  to  the  election  of  Harrison  in  1840.  W.  Whitelock.

Eegister  of  St.  Botolph,  Bishopsgate,  London,  England. — The  Register 
of  thid  parish,  edited  by  the  Rev.  A.  W.  Cornelius  Hallen.  of  Alloa,  Scotland, 
are  now  iu  the  course  of  publication  in  parts.  The  printed  work  will  include 
baptisms,  marriages  and  deaths  from  155S  to  1753,  and  will  make  when  com- 
pleted three  royal  octavo  volumes,  the  subscription  price  for  the  three  volumes 
being  £4-.  0.  0.  Subscriptions  should  be  sent  to  Mr.  T.  W.  Hills,  Rectory  House, 
Devonshire  Square,  Bishopgate,  London,  E.  Two  volumes  have  already  been  ' 
issued  and  a  part  of  vol.  3.  Part  19  will  be  issued  before  this  announcement  is 
seen  by  our  readers,  and  No.  20  will  follow  shortly.  The  Rev.  Mr.  Hallen,  the 
editor,  has  issued  the  following  circular: 

"  I  take  this  opportunity  of  laying  before  you  the  position  in  which  the  Rev. 
"Wm.  Rogers,  the  Rector  of  St.  Botolph.  tinds  himself.  He  made  himself 
responsible  for  the  printing  of  the  Transcripts  of  the  Registers,  believing  that 
many  of  the  parishioners  would  wish  to  possess  such  interestinsr  Records,  and 
that  men  of  letters  -would  show  their  appreciation  of  the  great  value  of  the  work 
by  purchasing  it.  In  both  these  expectations  he. has  been  somewhat  disap- 
pointed ;  very  few  copies  have  been  contributed  for  in  the  parish,  and  the 
general  public  have  not  heartily  supported  a  scheme  which  would  have  gradu- 
ally provided  a  complete  set  of  Transcripts  of  the  Registers  of  such  London 
Parishes  as  have  not  already  been  printed. 

"  I,  as  Editor  and  Transcriber,  venture  to  make  an  urgent  appeal  to  you  to 
place  the  matter  before  your  friends,  with  a  view  to  obtaining  additional  sub- 
scribers. The  addition  of  one  hundred  n.a-mes  to  the  List  would  secure 
THE  Rector  against  lo.ss.  I  would  most  earnestly  urge  every  one  who  receives  ■ 
this  letter  to  do  his  best. 

"  I  am  continually  receiving  most  gratifying  testimony  of  the  value  of  these 
Registers,  and  expressions  of  hope  that  they  will  be  followed  by  those  of  St. 
Paul's  Cathedral  and  others.  But  unless  men  of  letters,  having  the  inclinatioa 
and  power  to  spend  money  on  such  books,  give  practical  support  by  subscribing 
in  additional  numbers.  I  must  give  up  all  idea  of  continuing  to  transcribe  and 
print  London  Parish  Registers,  and  some  means  must  be  devised  by  which  the 
Rector  will  be  saved  from  heavy  loss. 

"  I  trust  that  this  appeal  will  be  responded  to  without  delay,  and  that  I  shall  be 
able  to  issue,  with  the  next  Number  of  the  Register,  a  satisfactory  supplemental 
list  of  Subscribers." 


Inhabitants  of  Essex  Coxtntt,  MASSAcnrsETTS,  from  1626  to  1800. — Mr. 
Sidney  Perley,  of  Salem,  Mass.,  has  issued  a  circular  from  which  we  learn  that 
lie  has  been  searching  the  records  of  Essex  County,  Mass.,  for  the  past  seven- 
teen years,  and  has  made  large  collections  of  genealogical  information,  has 
begun  the  arrangement  of  the  genealogy  of  every  person  who  lived  in  the 
County  before  the  year  1800, — a  work  he  proposes  to  continue  as  long  as  time 
and  means  allow. 

The  records  of  the  County  include  admissions  to  and  dismissions  from  the 
churches,  baptisms,  births,  marriages,  deaths,  intentions  of  marriases,  £rrave- 
stone  inscriptions,  old  newspaper  news  items,  advertisements  and  obituary 
notices,  parish  records  and  tax  lists,  town  meeting  records  and  tax  lists,  probate 
records  and  original  wills  and  other  papers  on  tile,  registry  of  deeds,  court 
records,  civil  and  criminal,  proprietors'  records,  colonial,  provincial  and  state 
records,  and  private  papers.  Seven-eiirhths  of  these  records  are  not  indexed  at 
all,  and  none  of  them  have  full  indexes  of  names.  Genealogists  will  see  at  a 
glance  what  a  vast  amount  of  hidden  genealogical  material  will  thus  be  brought 
into  ready  use. 

All  persons  having  questions  that  have  heretofore  failed  of  solution  are  advised 
to  send  them  to  Mr.  Perley.  Information  on  hand  will  be  sent  and  researches 
made  on  reasonable  terms.  Copies  of  wills,  deeds  and  other  papers  will  also 
be  made.

the  ready  memory  of  aged  relatives.  The  Hildreths,  though  not  a  pioneer 
family  in  the  "  ■svildernesse  ou  the  Northerne  side  of  merimack  ruier,"  were 
early  settlers  after  the  incorporation  of  Dracnt.  From  thence,  down  to  the 
generation  which  saw  the  merging  of  large  portions  of  the  town  into  the  city 
of  Lowell,  thoy  continually  held  important  town  offices  and  exerted  an  iunuence 
in  that  coramnnity  second  to  none.  We  commend  this  effort  of  Capt.  Keade  as 
a  valuable  contribution  to  the  history  of  North  Middlesex.

furnish  the  compilers  of  these  genealo-jries  with  records  of  their  own  families 
and  other  information  which  they  think  may  be  useful.  We  would  suggest  that 
all  facts  of  interest  illustrating  family  history  or  character  be  comma oicated, 
especially  service  under  the  U.  S.  government,  the  holding  of  other  ottlces, 
graduation  from  college  or  professional  schools,  occupation,  with  places  and 
dates  of  births,  marriages,  residence  and  death.  When  there  are  more  than  one 
christian  name  they  should  all  be  given  in  full  if  possible.  No  initials  should  be 
used  when  the  full  names  are  known.

whom  he  has  not  reached  by  correspondence,  who  are  scattered  all  over  the 
country.  They  are  requested  to  send  their  records  to  Mr.  Crissy.  The  family 
started  from  Roxbury,  Mass.,  and  settled  in  Pomfret.  Ct.,  about  1700.  One 
son  of  the  original  .John,  William  by  name,  was  a  graduate  of  Harvard,  settled 
in  the  ministry,  went  to  South  Carolina  where  he  died.  There  is  a  rumor  that 
he  married  and  had  two  daughters.

NECROLOGY  OF  THE  NEW-EXGLAND  HISTORIC 
GENEALOGICAL  SOCIETY. 

Prepared  by  Hamilton  Andrews  Hill,  A.M.,  Historiographer  of  the  Society. 

The  Historiographer  would  inform  the  Society,  tliat  the  sketches  pre- 
pared for  the  Rf.gister  are  necessarily  brief  in  consequence  of  the  limited 
space  which  can  he  appropriated.  All  the  facts,  however,  which  can  be 
gathered  are  retained  in  the  Archives  of  the  Society,  and  will  aid  in  more 
extended  memoirs  for  which  the  "  Towne  Memorial  Fund,''  the  gift  of  the 
late  William  B.  Towne.  is  provided.  Four  volumes,  printed  at  the  charp-e 
of  this  fund,  entitled  '-Memorial  Biographiks,"  edited  by  the  Commit- 
tee oa  Memorials,  have  been  issued.  They  contain  memoirs  of  all  the 
members  who  have  died  from  the  organization  of  the  society  to  the  year 
1862.     A  fifth  volume  is  ready  for  the  press. 

Thomas  Coffin  Amory,  A.M.,  a  resident  member  of  this  Society,  came  from 
a  family  well  known  in  Ireland  as  the  Amorys  of  Bunratty.  He  was  born  in 
Boston,  in  a  handsome  house,  still  standing,  on  the  corner  of  Beacon  and  Park 
Streets,  16  October,  IS  12.  His  parents  were  Jonathan  and  Mehitable  (Sullivan)  ; 
his  grandparents  were  Thomas  and  Elizabeth  rCoffln)  ;  and  his  <rreat  grand- 
parents were  Thomas  and  Rebekah  (Holmes).  This  last  named  Thomas  (son 
of  Jonathan)  was  born  in  Limerick,  Ireland,  in  1682,  and  came  to  Boston  in 
1719. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  sent  to  the  Round  Hill  School,  Northampton, 
at  the  age  of  ten,  and  remained  there  four  years  ;  he  completed  his  preparation 
for  college  during  the  nest  two  years  under  his  father's  roof,  and  graduated 
from  Harvard  College  in  18.S0.  He  made  a  visit  to  Europe,  and,  on  his  return, 
began  the  study  of  the  law  under  his  uncle  the  Hon.  William  Sullivan,  and 
joined  him  in  the  care  of  the  family  property.  Mr.  Amory  began,  early  in  life, 
to  take  an  interest  in  historical  investigation,  at  first  in  connection  with  the 
history  of  his  own  ancestry.  In  l^oO,  he  published  the  life  of  his  ijcrandfather, 
James  Sullivan,  a  warm  friend  of  Samuel  Adams,  and  sovernor  of  ]^Iassachu- 
setts  1807-1800.  He  had  been  a  member  of  the  Historic  Genealoirical  Society 
since  7  November,  1855.  and  now  (8  September,  1859)  he  was  elected  into  the 
Massachusetts  Historical  Society.  In  1SC8,  he  published  the  Military  Services 
and  Public  Life  of  Major  General  John  Sullivan,  of  the  Revolutionary  army, 
and,  in  1886,  The  Life  of  Admiral  Cotlin. 

In  1858  Mr.  Amory  was  chosen  an  alderman  of  the  city  of  Boston,  and  in 
1859  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Legislature.  "  Durimr  the  war  he  ren- 
dered magnificent  service  to  the  city  in  his  position  on  the  Board  of  Aldermen." 
He  took  much  interest  in  the  building  of  the  Citv  Hospital,  and,  as  president  of 
its  Board  of  Trustees,  he  delivered  the  address  at  its  dedication.  He  was  greatly 
interested,  also,  in  the  erection  of  the  Charity  Building  in  Chardon  Street.  For 
an  account  of  his  eflbrts,  with  those  of  others,  to  save  the  Hancock  House  in 
1863,  see  his  remarks  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Bostonian  Society,  9  Jan- 
uary, 1883,  and  City  Document  No.  56,  1863.  He  was  equally  interested  in  the 
preservation  of  the  Old  State  House,  and  was  one  of  the  early  members  of  the 
Bostonian  Society,  and  for  several  years  a  director.  He  was  an  officer  in 
Trinity  Church,  Boston,  and  gave  to  tliat  reliirious  society  "of  his  time  and 
means  with  the  greatest  liberality."  We  heartily  concur  in'the  summing  up  of 
his  character  by  one  of  his  intimate  friends,  in  these  words  :  "  He  was  a  brave, 
honest,  liberal,  patriotic,  well-rdiicated  christian  gentleman."  He  died  at  his 
home  in  Commonwealth  Avenue,  20  August,  1889.

280  Necrology  of  Historic  Genealogical  Society.  [July, 

ROFERT  Bexxet  Forbes,  Esq.,  son  of  Ralph  Bennet  and  Margaret  (Perkins) 
Forbes,  -was  born  at  Jamaica  Plain,  Mass.,  18  September.  1804.  His  mother 
was  a  sister  of  the  eminent  Boston  merchants,  James  and  Thomas  Ilandasvd. 
Perkins,  to  Avhose  '••  onconragement  and  assistance  his  distinicuished  career  Was 
in  great  measnre  due."  The  family  on  both  sides  was  of  Scotch  descent.  Mr. 
Forbes's  grandfather,  the  Rev.  John  Forbes,  married  Dorothy  Murray  in  Mil- 
ton, 2  Febrnary,  17(j9.  Her  uncle.  Robert  Bennet,  was  a  kinsman  of.  and 
served  as  midshipman  under.  Admiral,  Lord  Colliugwood,  and  his  name  de- 
scended to  the  subject  of  this  sketch. 

Bennet  Forbes  entered  the  employ  of  bis  uncles,  the  Messrs.  Perkins,  when 
he  was  twelve  years  of  age,  but  "they  did  not  wish  him  to  be  satisfied  with 
merely  a  counting-room  training.  He  was  in  the  habit  of  dininir  with  one  of 
them  on  Sunday;  and  when  it  was  his  turn  to  be  heljied  to  pudiiincr,  he  was 
asked  how  he  would  like  to  be  eating  plum  dull'  oft"  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope. 
The  question  Avas  asked  so  often  that  he  began  to  think  that  his  mission  in  the 
world  was  to  eat  plum  duff  off  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope.  At  thirteen  he  sailed 
for  China  in  the  "  Canton  Packet,"'  shipping  before  the  mast,  going  aloft  and 
standing  his  reirular  watch,  like  any  other  sailor.  At  fifteen  he  made  a  second 
voyage,  was  third  mate  at  sixteen,  second  mate  at  seventeen,  and  when  he  was 
twenty  his  uncles  gave  him  the  command  of  their  favorite  .sliip,  the  ■•  Levant." 
He  afterward  commanded  the  "Nile,"'  the  "Danube''  and  the  "Lintin."  He 
continued  his  life  on  the  ocean  until  18.32,  when  he  established  himself  in  busi- 
ness in  Boston,  and  two  years  later  was  married  to  Miss  Rose  Greene  Smith. 
His  autobiography  gives  a  graphic  account  of  all  his  voyages,  as  well  as  of  his 
varied  experiences  ashore. 

In  1838,  owing  to  commercial  reverses,  Captain  Forbes  sailed  asain  for  China, 
and  soon  became  the  head  of  the  American  house  of  Russell  &  Co.  He  was  so 
successful,  that  at  the  end  of  three  or  four  years  he  was  able  to  return  to  the 
"United  States.  In  1849  he  again  became  a  partner  in  the  hi.«use  of  Russell  csc  Co., 
and  went  to  China  by  the  overland  route,  taking  passage  from  lioston  in  tlie 
steamship  "  Europa"  on  the  voyage  when  she  ran  down  an  emiirrant  ship,  the 
"  Charles  Bartlett,"  and  rendering  gallant  service  at  the  time  of  this  disaster. 
He  came  home  the  next  year,  but  retained  an  interest  in  the  house,  with  some 
intermissions,  until  1857. 

Captain  Forbes  took  the  deepest  interest  in  everything  relating  to  the  welfare 
of  seamen;  he  was  an  active  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Humane  Society, 
and  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Sailors'  Snug  Harbor.  He  invented  what  is 
known  as  the  Forbes  Kig.  by  Mdiich  the  handliuir  of  heavy  topsails  is  facilitated ; 
and  he  was  concerned  with  Colonel  Perkins  in  the  b\iilding  of  the  propeller  ship 
"  Massachu.setts  "  (launched  in  Boston,  22  July,  ls45).  which  sailed  from  New 
York  for  Liverpool  in  September,  1815.  She  was  the  first  American  screw 
steamer  to  cross  the  Atlantic;  and,  with  the  exception  of  tlie  "  Savannah,"  the 
first  American  steamer  to  perform  this  voyage.  Captain  Forbes  sent  the  first 
steam  vessel  to  China,  under  the  American  tlag.  the  propeller  schooner  '•  Midas"; 
and  the  first  to  India,  the  propeller  barque  "  Edith."  In  this  early  appreciation 
of  the  screw  for  ocean  steanisiiip  navigation,  he  was  far  in  advance  of  his 
time;  for,  after  he  had  made  his  experiments,  the  Collins  and  California 
lines  of  steamers  came  into  existence,  all  of  them  constructed  with  huge  paddle 
wheels. 

In  1847,  Captain  Forbes  commanded  the  TTnited  States  sloop  "  Jamesto-vvn," 
which  took  a  cargo  of  food  from  Boston  to  Cork  Harbor,  and  superintended 
the  distribution  of  the  car^o.  "While  staying  at  what  is  now  known  as  Queens- 
town,  he  became  acquainted  with  the  family  of  Mr.  James  Scott,  a  prominent 
merchant  there,  and  corresponded  with  them  for  many  years.  In  1870.  he  was 
one  of  tiie  Boston  Board  of  Trade  party  which  made  an  excursion  to  California, 
in  the  first  Pullman  train  that  ever  crossed  the  continent.  He  delivered  a  lecture 
in  San  Francisco,  in  which  he  contrasted  the  place  as  he  first  saw  it  in  18:25, 
with  the  noble  city  whose  people  had  given  him  and  his  fellow  travellers  so 
hearty  a  welcome.  Always  an  energetic,  enterprising  man,  he  was  acti\'e,  use- 
ful and  honored  to  the  last.  He  died  in  Boston,  23  November,  18  ;9,  in  liis 
eighty-sixth  year.  He  took  an  iiit...ri!st  in  many  soci»'tie^- ;  he  became  a  member 
of  the  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  2  Febrnary,  1870,  and  of  the  .Massachusetts 
Historical  Society,  10  January,  ISGl.  He  was  a  "Worshipper  and  one  of  the 
vestry  at  King's  OhapeL

Nathan  Allen',  M.D..  LL.D.,  Tvas  born  at  Princeton,  Mass.,  April  13,  1813, 
and  ■svas  educated  in  the  public  and  private  schools  there,  before  studyins:  medi- 
cine in  Phihidelphia.  which  he  did  soon  after  ijraduatinir  at  Amherst  Collei;e  in 
1837.  He  was  a  diligent  student  both  in  College  and  at  tlie  Medical  School,  and 
distingui:-hed  him>elf  by  the  medical  thesis  Avhicli  he  wrote  upon  his  irraduation 
from  the  professional  school.  He  devoted  himself  at  that  time  and  for  some 
years  afterwards  to  the  study  of  phrenology,  which  was  much  in  vogue  among 
young  physicians  tifty  and  sixty  years  ago, — Dr.  Samuel  G.  Howe  and  Dr. 
George  Combe  being  among  the  eminent  medical  men  who  favored  the  hypo- 
thesis of  Gall  and  Spurzheira.  Al'. hough  phrenology  has  lo^t  rank  as  a  science 
since  18o0,  it  was  of  service  both  to  Dr.  Howe  and  Dr.  Allen  in  turning  their 
attention  to  the  material  basis  of  mental  operations ;  to  which  both  of  them 
devoted  much  study  in  subsequent  years.  Dr.  Allen  established  himself  as  a 
physician  in  LoAvell,  Mass.,  when  it  was  a  small  manufacturing  city,  but  famous 
throughout  the  world  from  the  character  of  the  operatives  who  then  filled  the 
cotton  mills  of  I'lat  place.  In  a  long  course  of  years  Dr.  Allen  became  more 
familiar,  through  his  extensive  practice,  with  the  sanitary  needs  and  disadvan- 
tages of  manufacturing  towns,  —  particularly  their  tendency  towards  over- 
crowding in  tenement  houses,  and  towards  the  increase  of  insanity  among  their 
population, — than  most  persons  of  his  time.  Hence,  when  by  the  wise  fore- 
sight of  Gov.  Andrew,  a  State  Board  was  established  in  Massachusetts  in  18G3, 
to  consider  the  condition  of  the  poor  in  respect  to  their  health,  sanity,  support 
and  charitable  aid.  Dr.  Allen  was  one  of  the  tirst  to  be  appointed  a  member  of 
this  oldest  Board  of  State  Charities  in  the  United  States.  He  was  one  of  the 
first,  and  also  the  last,  to  serve  as  chairman  of  this  Board;  and  when  the  new 
Board,  with  more  ample  powers,  replaced  it  in  1879,  Dr.  Allen  was  appointed  by 
his  friend  and  neighbor.  Gov.  Talbot,  a  member  of  the  State  Board  of  Health, 
Lunacy  and  Charity.  He  was  the  tirst  chairman  of  the  Lunacy  Committee  of 
this  Board,  having  previously  served  as  a  special  Lunacy  Commissioner,  with 
Wendell  Phillips  as  his  colleague.  He  continued  a  member  of  the  State  Board 
tmtil  1880,  when  he  retired  after  a  continuous  service  of  nearly  twenty  years; 
during  which  time  he  had  written  most  of  the  essays  which  were  collected  a 
few  years  later  in  the  useful  volume  which  was  published  by  him. 

Besides  this  great  public  service  rendered  by  Dr.  Allen,  he  officiated  for 
years  as  consulting  physician  of  the  great  State  Almshouse  at  Tewksbury,  as 
chairman  of  the  City  Board  of  Health  in  Lowell,  as  president  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Medical  Society  for  a  sinirie  year,  and  in  other  positions  to  which  his 
attainments  and  experience  entitled  him.  He  wrote  fluently  and  copiously  on 
many  subjects,  professional  or  official,  and  connected  his'name  with  various 
improvements  in  the  charitable  system  of  Massachusetts,  and  the  numerous 
establishments  for  tlie  insane,  the  poor,  etc.,  which  he  visited  during  a  quarter 
of  a  century.  He  was  also  one  of  the  first  to  call  attention  to  what  has  become 
a  familiar  topic  among  economists  and  statistical  writers  both  in  the  United 
States  and  in  Europe. — tlie  decreasing  birth  rate  among  the  native  population 
of  New  Eneland.  and  the  preponderance  thus  given  to  recent  immigrants  and 
their  children  in  this  portion  of  the  United  States.  Connected  with  these  facts, 
which  he  stuilied  closely  and  pointed  out  with  clearness,  he  advanced  a  theory 
of  physical  organization  somewhat  peculiar,  and  which  has  not  yet  recom- 
mended itself  to  general  acceptance.  He  died  in  Lowell,  Januarv'l,  1881),  in 
consequence  of  an  accident,  and  was  buried  amid  sincere  demonstrations  of 
sorrow  amonir  the  community  where  he  had  so  long  performed  the  duties  of 
the  Good  Samaritan,  which  naturally  fall  to  the  physician  who  practi.'ses  among 
the  poor. 

Dr.  Allen,  who  had  given  a  part  of  his  industrious  researches  to  local  history 
and  genealogy,  was  elected  a  resident  member  of  this  Society,  May  3,  18.j8,  but 
resigned  April  1,  18t)l.  He  was  retilected  Jan.  G.  1886.  lie  was  faithful  to 
whatever  he  undertook;  was  interested  in  many  gf)od  causes,  and  will  be 
long  remembered  by  those  who  were  associated  with  him.  He  left  a  widow 
and  several  dan<rhters,  but  no  son  to  perpetuate  his  name.

Abijah  Perkixs  MAR\ax,  A.M.,  resident  member,  "was  born  in  Lyme,  Conn., 
1  February,  1813.  His  parents  were  A<ahel  and  Azubah  (Sill)  Marvin.  Thrmigh 
his  father,  Asahel,  the  line  ascended  throai;h  Timothy.  Elislia,  Reynold,  Rey- 
nold, to  Reynold  -vvlio  came  from  Eniiland  and  was  in  Hartfonl,  Conn.,  in 
1636,  with  his  brotlier  Mattiew,  on  Front  Street,  North  End.  "  He  settled  in 
Farmington.  on  the  Main  Street,  and  afterward  in  Saybroolc,  in  that  part  which 
is  ou  the  east  side  of  the  Connecticut  River,  and  is  now  Old  Lyme,  about  half 
way  from  Lyme  Street  to  Blackball,  the  seat  of  the  Griswolds."  "  He,  the  first 
Reynold,  and  a  capuaiu,  was  living  when  Lyme  was  made  a  town.  Here  lived 
and  died  his  son.  Lieutenant  Reynold,  and  liis  grandson.  Deacon,  Lyme's  Cap- 
tain, Reynold.  Azubah  Sill  was  descended  from  Captain  Joseph  Sill,  son  of 
John  Sill,  of  Cambridge,  Mass.     (See  Sewall's  Diary,  Vol.  IL.  p.  257). 

Abijah  Marvin  attended  the  district  school  in  Ljme  until  he  was  fourteen; 
the  next  six  years  he  spent  in  printing  offices,  doing  all  parts  of  the  work, 
•which,  he  used  to  say  afterward,  was  an  excellent  training  for  him.  He  fitted 
for  college  at  thf  liigh  school  in  Brattleboro,  Vt,,  and  graduated  at  Washington, 
(now  Trinity)  College,  Hartford,  Conn.,  in  1839.  He  took  his  Master's  degree 
in  course. 

Mr.  Marvin  taught  in  schools  of  all  grades,  district,  high  and  private,  in  the 
academy,  and  as  tutor  in  college,  and  all  this  work  he  considered  an  important 
part  of  his  own  education.  ^lost  of  it  was  done  before  entering  upon  liis  life 
work,  the  gospel  ministry.  He  taught  a  public  school  in  Delaware  in  1832-3, 
and  a  private  school  in  Virginia  in  1S40-1.  After  much  intercourse  with  planters 
and  sla\  eholders,  he  came  back  to  the  North  in  1S41,  "  with  the  fixed  coiiviction 
that  slavery  would  never  be  given  up  without  bloodshed.  This  experience," 
he  said,  "deepened  my  abhorrence  of  slavery,  and  gave  a  tone  to  my  life  till 
the  war  closed." 

Mr.  ^klarvin  studied  theology  at  New  Haven,  graduating  from  the  seminary 
there  with  the  class  of  1842.  He  was  ordained,  10  January,  1844,  pastor  of  the 
Congregational  Clmrch,  Winchendon  Village,  now  the  North  Congregational 
Church,  Winchendon,  and  he  held  this  charge  until  23  August,  1866.  He 
served,  for  a  year  or  two,  as  agent  of  the  American  Congregational  Association,. 
and  collected  money  for  the  purchase  of  a  Congregational  House.  He  was 
associate  editor  of  the  Boston  Recorder  in  1867,  and  was  at  Worcester,  without 
a  charge,  in  1869-70. 

Mr.  Marvin  served  as  acting  pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Lan- 
caster from  1870  to  1872,  and  in  the  latter  year  (1  May)  was  installed  as  its 
pastor.  He  was  dismissed  from  this  charge  21  October,  1875,  but  continued  to 
reside  in  Lancaster  until  his  death,  19  October,  1889.  He  was  a  diligent  student 
and  writer,  and  besides  some  sermons,  and  articles  in  the  New  Englander  and 
Bibliotheca  Sacra,  he  published  a  History  of  Winchendon,  of  Lancaster,  and 
of  Worcester  in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion;  he  was  also  the  author  of  a  con- 
siderable portion  of  the  History  of  Worcester  County,  a  work  of  two  large 
octavo  volumes.  He  left  the  MS.  of  a  Life  of  Cotton  Mather,  which,  it  is 
hoped,  will  soon  be  given  to  the  public. 

Mr.  Marvin  was  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts  Constitutional  Convention 
of  1853,  representing  Winchendon.  He  became  a  member  of  this  Society,  2 
April,  1884.  He  married,  5  March,  1845,  Caroline,  daughter  of  Micah  and  Roxy 
(Richardson)  Holbrook. 

Samukl  Austin  Alliboxe,  A.M.,  LL.D. — This  distinguished  author  was  a 
native  of  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  where  he  was  born  on  the  17th  of  April,  1816.  In 
early  life  he  followed  a  mercantile  career,  but  soon  became  interested  in  literary 
pursuits.  His  first  prominent  work  was  -'A  Review  by  a  Layman  of  a  Work 
entitled  'New  Themes  for  the  Protestant  Clergy,'"  which  was  published  at 
Philadelphia  in  1852.  This  was  followed  by  his  "  'New  Themes'  Condemned" 
in  1853. 

The  work,  however,  which  has  given  Mr.  Allibon«  a  world-wide  fame  was  his 
"A  Critical  Dictionary  of  English  Literature  and  British  and  American 
Authors."  The  first  volume  of  this  great  Dublication  was  issued  in  1854,  and 
on  the  whole  work  he  labored  continuously  for  upw.ards  of  twenty  years,  the 
secoud  and  third  volumes  not  appearing  until  1.571.  The  first  volume  contains 
1005  pages,  octavo,  the  second  1321,  and  the  thira,  including  the  copious  indexes 
arranged  in  departments,  814;  making  a  total  number  for  the  entire  work  of  3140 
pages.  The  author  revised  the  last  proof-sheet  of  liia  great  production  on  the 
last  day  of  the  year  1870.

The  Genesis  of  the  Massachusetts  Town,  and  the  Development  of  Town-3Ieeting 
Government.  By  Charles  Fr.vxcis  Ad.i.ms,  Abner  C.  Goodell,  Jr.,  Mellex 
Cha-MBerl.vin'  .4ND  Edward  C'h.*nning.  [Reprinted  from  the  Proceedings  of 
the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  January,  1892.]  Cambridge:  John 
Wilson  i  Son,  University  Press.  1892.  Pamphlet.  8vo.  pp.  94. 
These  important  papers,  the  productions  of  our  best  students  in  colonial  and 
provincial  history,  deserve  careful  attention ;  for  they  reach  conclusions  dif- 
ferent from  those  hitherto  accepted  by  historians.  If  these  are  to  stand,  much 
current  Massachusetts  early  history  will  need  revision.  Undoubtedly,  in 
England,  the  Massachusetts  Bay  Company,  the  parent  of  the  Colony,  was  an 
association  of  London  merchants,  similar  to  the  Dorchester  adventurers  and 
others.  As,  with  the  bringing  of  the  charter  to  this  side  of  the  water,  the 
commercial  organization  developed,  gradually,  into  the  government  of  a  com- 
munity, otherwise  ungoverned,  and  took  upon  itself  the  elements  of  statehood, 
80  the  individual  constitutent  communities,  unincorporated,  assumed  the  only 
form  of  democracy,  or  home  rule,  with  which  they  were  familiar  and  in  which 
only  were  they  experienced.  It  was  so  in  the  Plymouth  settlement,  ten  years 
previous.  English  law  and  liberty,  in  like  manner,  had  at  an  earlier  date  blos- 
somed into  civil  government  at  Pemaijuid  and  Sagadahoc  in  New  England  and 
at  Jamestown  in  Virginia.  This  method  of  proceeding  was  that  of  the  parish 
of  England,  itself  tlie  creature  of  the  Conqueror,  by  virtue  of  his  Norman 
sapience  from  the  Saxon  tithing  and  gemot  and  the  Norsk  thing.  The  very 
names  and  duties  of  the  official  are  competent  evidence.  The  settlers  had  no 
love  for  the  parish  as  a  system  of  church  and  state  union.  They  were  not 
tolerant.  Neither  they  nor  their  oppressors  knew  the  blessing  of  living  together 
in  unity.  They  were  resolved  to  have  none  others  than  those  of  like  opinions 
■with  themselves.  But,  beyond  all,  they  were  Englishmen,  and,  stern  as  they 
•were  in  anti-prelacy  and  anti-papistry,  they  were  resolved  that  the  folkmeet 
should  not  deal  with  things  spiritual,  and  the  church  should  not  meddle  with 
things  temporal.  They  did  not  cs-iay  this  as  an  experiment,  but  entered  directly 
upon  its  accomplishment  in  their  town  meetings.  There  was  no  preamble,  no 
written  constitution:  but,  far  better,  there  was  the  resolute  determination  of 
free,  independent  wills.  In  that  way  only  they  proposed  to  live.  The  freedom 
of  the  town  meeting  often  appeared  in  the  meetings  of  the  church,  and  the  cant 
phrases  "of  the  godly"  in  t!ie  records  of  the  meetings  for  prudential  atf.urs; 
for  their  constituencies  were  nearly  identical.  With  the  march  of  time,  the  two 
have  grown  wide  apart;  the  one  is  the  valued,  cherished  source  and  guardian  of 
the  liberties  of  all  New  England;  the  other  is  the  proud  possession  of  a  sect, 
whose  influence  far  outweighs  its  numbers.

286  Book  Notices.  [July, 

Mr.  Adams  clearly  sets  forth  the  parallel  between  the  commercial  enterprises 
of  the  17th  and  the  I'Jth  centuries.  The  "  planters"  are  the  stockholders;  the 
executive  head,  the  "  Governor,"  is  now  the  president ;  the  "  selectmen  "  are  the 
directors;  the  '•  General  Court"  are  the  reirular  stated  meetings;  the  •'  planta- 
tion "  is,  today,  the  railroad  or  other  company  whose  charter  is  the  source  of 
the  right  to  do  business.  The  plantation  meetinirs  were  held  for  the  making  of 
rates,  as  the  tax  list  was  then  denominated,  for  the  orderinij  of  prudential 
and  material  affairs,  for  providing  for  the  common  defence  and  for  the  election 
of  officers.  As,  with  the  growth  of  the  settlements,  these  interests  become  para- 
mount, the  meetings  become  town  meetings  and  go  upon  record.  The  plantation 
meetings,  strictly  so-called,  were  of  a  private  nature,  purely  financial,  and  are 
not  upon  the  town  record.  It  is  not  improbable,  thinks  Dr.  Chanuiug,  that  some 
of  these  plantation  records  may  yet  be  found  in  England. 

All  lovers  of  our  local  history  will  read  these  papers  with  large  interest.  The 
discussion  is  forcible,  and  by  the  ablest  minds  conversant  with  the  subject.  If 
they  do  not  lead  to  exact  and  definite  conclusions,  it  is  because,  in  the  present 
state  of  hi-torical  knowledge,  the  data  for  exactitude  are  not  attaiuable. 
Whichever  of  the  views,  maintained  by  these  gentlemen,  may  be  accepted  by  the 
reader,  none  will  gainsay  the  conclusion  of  Juilge  Chamberlain,  that  these  towns 
"  after  a  few  years  learned  to  manage  their  municipal  affairs  with  such  wisdom 
and  success  that,  in  the  course  of  time,  they  so  enlarged  their  views  that,  with- 
out overstepping  the  bounds  the  law  had  set  up,  they  became  a  power  which 
modified  the  action  of  the  government,  and,  in  the  fulness  of  time,  most  efi'ectual 
agencies  in  the  dismemberment  of  the  empire,  and  so  famous  throughout  the 
civilized  world." 

It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  many  of  the  authorities  quoted  exist  only  in 
manuscript,  some  in  the  hands  even  of  private  parties.  As  such  they  are  liable 
to  decay,  depredation  and  destruction.  If  the  towns  themselves  cannot  see 
their  duty  iu  preservation,  by  printing,  of  these  priceless  records,  it  would  seem 
a  proper  place  for  the  exercise  of  the  eminent  domain  of  the  Commonwealth, 
either  by  entrance  itself  upon  the  work,  or  injunction  by  statute  upon  the 
towns,  parishes  and  counties  with  whom  the  records  now  are.

Every  native  of  this  anrient  town,  unsurpassed  by  inland  towns  of  Massa- 
chusetts for  beauty  of  location,  will  welcome  this  volume  with  pride.  The 
community  was  never  incorporated  as  a  town,  but  grew  into  form  and  endow- 
ment as  an  existent  fact  recognized  by  common  consent.  It  took  its  place 
among  the  out-lying  frontier  towns  of  two  centuries  ago  unquestioned.  The 
proprietary  interest  of  the  beautiful,  extensive  plain,  on  whose  well-watered, 
productive  soil  it  was  located,  was  granted  by  the  general  court  and  connnned, 
as  its  owners  claimed,  ••  by  the  Kingdon  of  Great  Britain."  The  remarkable 
settlement  of  the  Huguenots  here  was  the  salient  point  in  its  earlv  history. 
These  gentle,  polished  refugees,  lacking  the  grit  and  gristle  of  the  English 
recusants,  were  unable  to  cope  with  the  hostility  of  the  wild  Indian  and 
abandoned  their  improvements.  After  the  Indian  war  was  closed  ana  the  new 
century  advanced  a  dozen  years.  Englishmen,  from  other  towns  in  the  colony, 
resettled  and  occupied  the  spot.  This  was  permanent.  Their  garrisons  over- 
awed the  renmant  of  the  savages.  The  ecclesiastical  interests,  as  elsewhere, 
dominated  the  civil;  and  the  meagre  taxes  were  steadily  fortified  by  encroach- 
ments upon  non-residents  and  absentees,  who  held  titles  to  some  estates.  In 
1720,  a  "  Gospel  Church"  was  formed  and,  iu  1721,  Rev.  John  Campbell  from 
the  north  of  Scotland  was  ordained,  and  spent  the  remainder  of  his  life  among 
this  people.  He  soon  became  the  most  infiueutial  citizen  in  political  and  social 
affairs.  He  wa^  the  minister,  the  physician,  the  judge  and  the  peace-maker  of 
the  little  conimunlty.  Good  reasons  are  iriven  for  the  t)t'lief  that  he  was  a 
political  refugee,  and  that  from  him  rightfully  proceeds  the  inheritance  of  the 
Scottish  earldom  of  Loudon.  In  17^5;)  the  earliest  school  was  established.  The 
population  had  reached  the  limit  whereat  the  statute  required  the  provision  of  a 
school-master;  so  the  town  voted  liberally,  and  private  contributions  made  up

the  deficit.  In  1788  district  schools  were  established,  in  1853  a  jrrammar  school, 
and  in  1856  a  hi<;h  school.  These  several  items,  -with  ample  exhibition  of  the 
military  and  business  career  of  the  inhabitants,  Mr.  Daniels  has  felicitously  set 
forth  in  paragraphs  with  appropriate  headinss.  A  chapter  un  the  "  Older  Home- 
steads "  is  unique  and  embodies  most  valuable  information.  It  traces  the  several 
homesteads  under  the  title  of  their  earliest  owner,  throuirh  the  conveyances,  to 
the  present  holders;  furnisliinir  ready  means  for  the  determination  of  ancestral 
estates  and  the  location  of  family  residences. 

We  are  very  glad  to  find  that  one  half  the  volume,  and  more  than  half  the 
contents,  is  devoted  to  the  irenealocits  of  all  whose  names  appear  on  the  records 
of  the  town  down  to  1850.  Each  notice  of  the  heads  of  families,  and  their 
prominent  members,  is  accompanied  with  pertinent  remarks,  descriptive  and 
characteristic  of  the  individuals.  This  is  a  very  srraceful  addition  to  the 
ordinary  interest  of  genealoiry.  Many  quaint,  engaging  and  valuable  documents, 
traditions,  incidents  and  miscellaneous  matters,  unused  in  the  general  history, 
are  grouped  undir  appropriate  headings  in  an  appendix.  Separate  indices  for 
the  history  proper,  of  names  in  the  genealogy  out  of  alphabetical  order,  and  of 
the  homesteads,  are  supplied  at  the  close  of  the  volume. 

The  editorial  labors,  which  must  have  been  very  large,  are  well  done,  the  book 
is  well  printed  on  good  paper  by  Mr.  Charles  Hamilton,  of  Worcester,  and 
deserves  a  place  in  every  public  librarj'.  Other  towns  in  South  Worcester, 
carved  from  the  ancient  limits  of  Oxford,  should  supplement  this  volume  with 
like  histories  of  themselves.  The  illustrations,  consisting  chiefly  of  views,  land- 
scapes and  scenery  in  and  about  the  town,  are  unusually  beautiful.  They  are 
well  executed  by  Mr.  W.  P.  Allen,  of  Gardner.

It  is  impossible  to  do  justice  in  the  small  space  allotted  me,  to  the  many 
beauties  and  excellencies  of  the  book  before  me.  After  carefully  reading  and 
re-reading  it,  the  first  thought  that  comes  uppenuost  in  ray  mind  is,  that  no 
lover  of  history,  no  lover  of  good  literature,  can  atlbrd  to  be  without  so  valu- 
able a  work,  a  work  evidently  the  result  of  years  of  patient  labor,  of  careful 
research,  and  of  earnest  lo/e  for  all  that  was  beautiful  and  noble  in  the  lives 
of  the  early  dwellers  in  NeAV  England,  lives  full  of  toil  and  sufleriug,  yet  upheld 
by  a  firm  faith  in  the  justice  and  mercy  of  God. 

How  touching  is  the  following  picture  of  a  scene  in  public  worship :  "I 
have  seen  within  a  few  years,  in  a  country  church,  a  feeble,  white-haired  old 
deacon  rise  tremblingly  at  the  preacher's  solemn  words  "  Let  us  unite  in  prayer," 
and  stand  with  bowed  head  throuirhout  the  long  prayer;  thus  pathetically  cling- 
ing to  the  reverent  custom  of  the  olden  time,  he  rendered  tender  tribute  to 
vanished  youth,  gave  equal  tribute  to  eternal  hope  and  faith,  and  formed  a 
beautiful  emblem  of  patient  readiness  for  the  last  solemn  summons." 

The  book  contains  a  wealth  and  variety  of  information  bearing  upon  the 
colonial  history  of  our  dearly-loved  New  England,  and  cannot  fail  to  be  of  the 
greatest  interest  to  all  who  dwell  in  New  England,  or  who  have  New-Ensland 
blood  in  their  veins.  The  writer  is  thoroughly  in  sympathy  with  her  subject, 
and,  though  of  Puritan  descent,  does  not  hesitate  to  criticise  some  features  of 
the  Puritan  belief  and  of  the  customs  and  liabits  of  the  people.  She  does  not, 
however,  fail  to  render  due  justice  and  praise  to  their  simple,  manly,  God-fear- 
ing lives.  Gladly  would  I  quote,  if  space  permitted,  her  graphic  account  of  the 
pathetic  yet  noble  confession  of  Judge  Sewall — that  splendid  type  of  the  Puritan 
character — of  his  terrible  mistake  in  condemning  to  death  the  poor  victims  of 
the  witchcraft  delusion.  The  writer  is  the  fortunate  possessor  of  a  remarkably 
clear  and  charming  style,  and  her  book  abounds  in  many  witty  passages  and 
turns  of  thought.  It  will  be  of  special  interest  to  those  of  an  antiquarian  turn 
of  mind,  as  the  author  has  drawn  from  many  and  varied  sources  of  information, 
not  easily  accessible  to  the  general  reader. 

I  cannot  better  close  this  in:perfect  notice  than  by  quoting  the  following 
passage  from  the  last  chapter  of  the  book :  "  What  those  brave,  stern  men  and 
women  were,  as  well  as  what  they  looked,  is  known  to  us  all,  and  cannot  be 
dwelt  upon  here,  any  more  than  can  here  be  shown  and  explained  the  decaila  of

Vol.  III.  the  To-wns  of  Gloucester,  Burrillville,  Scituate,  Foster,  Cumberland 
and  Smithdeld. 

Providence  is  the  larsrest  and  most  populous  County  in  the  State,  having  more 
than  two-thirds  of  its  inhabitants.  This  work,  therefore,  embracing  as  it  does 
every  bi.'th,  marriage  and  death,  as  recorded  in  the  records  of  the  various 
Towns,  from  lfi36  to  1S50.  must  prove  a  valuable  assistant  as  a  work  of  refer- 
ence unto  every  student  who  shall  have  occasion  to  consult  its  paires.  Every 
marriage  is  given  at  length  under  the  groom,  Avitii  book  and  paere  of  tlie  original 
record.  This,  as  far  as  possible,  is  continued  in  tlie  births  and  deaths.  Every 
item  of  value  in  the  original  record  is  here  presented  in  each  instance.  Every 
Town  has  its  separate  pagination  as  well  as  its  indexes,  which  are  arranged  so  as 
to  show  :  i.  The  names  of  the  families  given  in  the  body  of  the  work.-  ii.  The 
names  occurring  promiscuously,  iii.  The  names  of  places  mentioned  in  the  text. 
These  indexes,  if  tirst  consulted,  will  at  once  give  the  name  or  place  souirht 
for,  and  save  therefore  much  valuable  time  to  the  reader,  whose  time  for  research 
is  limited.  The  raarriases  are  arransed  in  a  very  natural  manner,  giving  tirst 
the  earliest  one  of  the  name  in  the  record  and  followed  by  each  one  of  that  name 
chronologically  to  LS.50.  The  births  are  given  in  groups  showing:  the  members 
of  the  family  in  natural  order,  and  followed  by  other  families  of  that  name,  in 
similar  order,  down  to  18.50.     The  deaths  are  given  strictly  chronolosically. 

In  brief,  the  plan  of  the  compiler  is  to  reflect,  as  near  as  po'^sible,  the  order  of 
the  original  record,  at  the  same  time  to  give  a  presentation  of  the  matter  treated 
so  that  it  will  be  at  once  understood  by  the  reader. 

Those  who  have  examined  tlie  first  volume  of  this  work  (Kent  County)  have

like  character.

The  town  of  Bethel  in  Maine  was  originally  the  plantation  of  Sudbury  Canada. 
It  was  granted  to  the  descendants  of  soldiers  who  went  from  Sudl)ury,  Mass., 
and  the  adjacent  towns,  on  the  Expedition  to  Canada  in  IfiOO.  A  petition  for 
such  a  grant  was  presented  to  the  Massachusetts  General  Court  in  1737  and 
another  in  17(JS.  In  .June  of  the  latter  year  a  township  in  the  District  of  .Maine 
was  granted  to  the  petitioners,  situated  on  both  sides  of  the  Amariscogrrin  river. 
Several  years  after  a  settlement  was  be^un  there,  and  irradually  it  grew  to  be  a 
flourishing  plantation.  In  June,  179<;.  it  was  incorporated  as  a  town  by  the  name 
of  Retlii-l.  a  name  s.Tid  to  have  been  sn^ricested  by  t!ie  Rev.  Elipliaz  Chapman. 

Dr.  Lapham.  the  author  of  the  work  before  us.  has  had  much  experience  in 
compiling  works  upon  local  and  family  history.  As  Avas  to  be  expected  he  has 
here  presented  to  the  natives  and  citizens  of  Bethel  a  faithful  ami  exhaustive 
history  of  that  town — a  town  in  which  he,  himself,  spent  the  earliest  years  of

Dr.  Amos  Perry,  the  secretary  and  librarian  of  the  Rhode  Island  Historical 
Society,  held  from  18G2  to  18G7  the  office  of  United  States  consul  at  Tunis.     In 
1869,  he  published  an  elaborate  work  entitled  "Carthage  and  Tunis.  Past  and 
Present,"  an  octavo  of  live  hundred  pasres.     The  pamphlet  before  us  is  enlarged 
from  a  sketch  desi^rned  by  the  author  to   illustrate  a  part  of  his  book  on  Car- 
thage, and  was  intended  to  be  inserted  in  the  appendix  to  that  work,  but  was 
crowded  out  by  other  matter.     This  "  revised  and  enlarged  sketch  has  a  broader 
scope.     It  is  virtually  a  supplement  to  the  larger  Avork.     It  furui>hes  statistics 
and  material  facts  that  show  chanares  that  have  taken  place  during  the  last 
quarter  of  a  century,  together  with  the  present  condition  and  future  prospects  of 
the  country." 

We  have  here  a  narrative  of  the  author's  official  visits  to  places  of  historic 
interest  in  that  country,  with  notices  of  prominent  persons  whom  he  met.  por- 
traits of  some  of  whom  are  given.  The  work  is  written  in  an  airreeable  style. 
At  this  time,  wlien  so  much  interest  is  manifested  in  the  continent  of  Africa,  this 
pamphlet  will  be  read  with  interest,  and  its  20  engraved  illustrations,  including 
a  map  of  the  country,  will  prove  decidedly  attractive.

Messrs.  Housrhton,  Mifflin  &  Co.  are  publishing  several  popular  series  of 

biographical  and  historical  volumes. — the  titles  of  which  are:  American  ]Men 

of  Letters,  American  Statesmen,  American  Religious    Leaders   and  American 

Commonwealths.     The  last  uamed  series  is  edited  by  Horace  E.  Scudder,  and 

is  devoted  to  histories  of  the  several  states  of  the  union.     Thirteen  volumes  of 

this  series  have  been  issued,  the  last  of  which  is  that  before  us  on  the  state  of 

Vermont,  by  Rowland  E.  Robinson. 

Early  in  the  seventeenth  century,  in  ]fi09,  Champlain  saw  the  western  shores 
of  Vermont,  and  twenty  years  later  Sir  Ferdinaudo  Gorges  and  Capt.  John 
Mason  planned  a  settlement,  and  hoped  for  proritable  trade  in  peltry,  on  its 
territory,  but  their  wild  hopes  wore  doomed  to  disappointment,  for  their  scouts 
never  reached  the  grant.  Mr.  Robinson  has  made  a  useful  and  interesting  book. 
He  calls  it  "  A  Study  of  Indeoendt-nce,"  and  certainly  his  book  shows  that  the 
people  of  Vermont  iiave  exhibittMl  that  quality  in  a  marked  degree.  The  reader 
of  this  volume  will  be  well  repaid  for  its  study.

This  book  was  origin,ally  printed  over  three  quarters  of  a  century  ago,  and  has 
for  many  years  been  one  of  the  rarest  of  rare  American  local  histories.     We 
think  it  is  the  earliest  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Fiehl's  contributions  to  hl.^torical  litera- 
ture, and  it  shows  the  same  care  and  industry  which  he  exhibited  in  his  later 
books.     Mr.  Woodward  has  done  a  service  to  collectors  of  Americana  by  giving 
them  an  exact  reprint  of  the  work.

290  Booh  JSlotices.  [July, 

This  volume  contains  the  records  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths  from  1883  to 
to  the  close  of  1S91. 

We  have  frequently  spoken  of  the  importance  of  printing  town  records,  and 
by  this  means  preserving  them  from  destruction,  and  making  them  available  to 
a  wider  circle  of  genealogical  students.  We  are  glad  to  see  the  growing  interest 
in  this  subject.     We  commend  the  present  worii  to  our  readers. 

A  Manuscript  containing  Lancashire  Church  Xotes  and  Tricking  of  Arms  made  in

For  Private  Circulation.      Liverpool:    T.  Brackett  Limited.       1892.     8vo. 

pp.  22. 

The  manuscript  which  is  the  basis  of  this  pamphlet  belongs  to  a  personal 
friend  of  Mr.  Kylands.  It  is  "  apparently  a  Herald's  note-book  of  the  time  of 
Queen  Elizabeth."  Two  Lancashire  Polls  of  Arms  of  the  times  of  Edward  IIL 
and  Henry  VIII.  were  printed  by  Mr.  Rylands  in  the  Transactions  of  the  His- 
toric Society  of  Lancashire  and  Cheshire  for  the  year  1885.  New  Series,  vol.  i., 
pp.  U8-G0.  The  remainder  of  the  manuscript,  which  consists  of  twelve  leaves, 
are  given  in  this  pamphlet  with  the  exception  of  some  confused  and  mutilated 
pedigrees  which  occupy  the  lirst  four  leaves. 

Mr.  Rylands  has  done  a  good  service  for  genealogists,  particularly  those  in- 
terested in  Lancasiiire  families,  in  transcribing  and  editing  these  notes.  They 
will  "  materially  assist  those  engaged  upon  the  history  of  the  churches  and 
families  "  to  which  they  refer.  The  pamphlet  is  a  reprint  from  the  Transactions 
of  the  above-named  society. 

Biographical  Xotes  of  Doctor  Matthew  Sutcliffe,  Dean  of  Exeter,  15SS-1629.    By 

Frances  B.  Tkoup.     8vo.  pp.  28. 

This  is  a  paper  read  at  Tiverton,  July,  1891,  before  the  Devonshire  Association 
for  the  Advancement  of  Science,  Literature  and  Art,  and  has  been  reprinted 
from  the  Transactions  of  that  Association,  vol.  23,  pp.  171-19G. 

The  author  of  this  pamphlet  is  an  American  lady  of  historical  tastes,  who  has 
resided  several  years  near  Exeter  in  Devonshire.  England,  and  who  is  a  con- 
tributor to  the  Register.  Her  interest  in  Dr.  Sutcliiie,  who  was  Dean  of  the 
cathedral  church  of  Exeter,  arose,  we  presume,  from  the  fact  that  he  was  early 
interested  in  the  settlement  of  New  Eiisland.  She  has  given  us  much  new  mat- 
ter concerning  the  doctor  in  the  very  interestinor  paper  here  printed.  The  will 
of  Dean  Sutdiffe  and  a  list  of  his  works,  the  latter  tilling  nearly  five  pages,  are 
appended.     We  hope  that  Mrs.  Troup  will  find  lime  to  prepare  more  such  papers.

serve for  the  future  historian  material  for  a  true  history  of  the  causes,  progress 
and  results  of  the  irreat  war  for  Southern  Independence,  while  at  the  same  time 
regard  will  be  paid  to  the  general  hi.story  of  the  Southern  States." 

Extended  notices  of  previous  volumes  have  been  given  by  us.  From  them 
our  readers  have  learned  the  character  of  the  contents  of  this  useful  series. 
We  need  only  add  tiiat  the  two  volumes  before  us  are  equally  valuable  with 
their  predeces-5ors:  and  repeat  what  has  before  been  said  in  these  pajres  :  '•  No 
library,  public  or  private,  which  pretends  to  historic  fulness,  can  aUbrd  to  be 
without  these  volumes."

Gennalofjical  Gh'onings  in  Enfilamh      By  Hf.xry  F.  "Waters,  A. if.      Extracts 

from  the  Marriage  Licenses  granted  by  the  Bishop  of  London,  1598  to  l(]o9. 

Salem,  ^lass. :  Salem  Press  Publishing  and  Priutiuir  Co.     Ib02.     8vo.  pp.  107. 

This  is  a  valuable  contribution  to  <renealog-ical  literature.  A  collection  of  ex- 
tracts from  the  re.Lrister  of  the  Marriage  Licenses  issued  by  the  Bishop  of  Lon- 
don, made  by  Col.  Chester,  ^vas  published  Ijy  the  Harleian  Society  in  1887. 
Tliose  extracts  beyrun  in  \'>20  and  ended  in  1828.  "Mr.  Waters  has  contined  his  ex- 
tracts to  a  briefer  period — one  during  which  items  relatinir  to  the  settlers  of  New 
England  would  be  most  likely  to  be  found,  and  has  made  a  special  eft'ort  to 
collect  New  England  names.  "  Of  the  four  hundred  and  ninety-nine  extracts  of 
marriage  licenses,"  s.ays  ^Ir.  "Waters  in  his  preface,  "  two  hundred  and  six  are 
to  be  found  in  Col.  Cnester's  collection,  and  two  hundred  and  ninety-three  do 
not  appear  there.  *  *  *  Of  the  two  hundred  and  six  which  Col.  Chester  has, 
forty-seven  are  virtually  the  same  as  his  (^with  occasional  diverse  readin<r)  ;  but 
the  large  number  of  one  hundred  and  tifty-nine  contain  additional  information, 
some  of  it  of  great  geneal')gical  value,  as  any  one  may  sec  who  will  take  the 
trouble  to  compare  them.  In  case  of  diverse  readings  of  the  same  facts,  which 
will  occasionally  be  noticed.  I  can  only  refer  the  reader  to  the  original  record 
to  establish  the  proper  reading,  I  hare  no  doubt  that  in  some  cases  Colonel 
Chester's  reading  will  be  found  the  correct  one  and  in  some  cases  mine.  1  have 
yet  to  see  the  transcriber  who  is  always  right. 

"  Of  the  two  hundred  and  ninety-three  entries  not  found  in  Colonel  Chester's 
collection,  only  eighteen  appear  previous  to  1G27,  while  two  hundred  and  seventv- 
five  occur  in  the  years  1627-1G;10  ;  and,  of  the  two  hundred  and  six  entrieswhich 
are  also  in  Chester,  one  hundred  and  eighty  occur  before  1G27,  but  only  twenty- 
six  afterwards.  This  may  be  accounted  for  by  the  fact  that  he  seems  to  have 
made  a  very  thorough  examination  of  the  Vicar  General's  Books,  which,  he 
says,  contain  no  marriage  licenses  between  starch  22,  lG2t3-7,  and  the  period  at 
which  I  stopped  my  examination  of  the  Bishop's  Kegistry.  The  conclu.sion  to 
■which  I  am  forced  is  that  Colonel  Chester  made  but  a  very  hurried  and  incom- 
plete examination  of  the  Bishop's  Kegistry  and  must,  in  fact,  have  omitted  not 
simply  hundreds  but  even  thousands  of  items.  It  seems  to  me,  therefore,  quite 
worth  the  while  for  all  whose  lines  of  ancestry  run  back  into  the  Diocese  of 
London  to  make  a  careful  examination  of  the  Bishop's  Kegistry  from  and  after 
1627." 

Much  new  light  is  thrown  on  New  England  family  history  by  the  extracts 
here  printed,  and  many  difficulties  have  been  cleared  up  by  them.  The  pamphlet 
is  a  reprint  from  the  Historical  Collections  of  the  Essex  institute  for  1891. 

The  SomerviUe  Journal  Souvenir  of  the  Semi  Centennial,  1S42-1S92.  Published 
and  Printed  by  the  Somerville  Journal  Co.,  March  3,  1892.  Folio,  pp.  x.-j-i-t. 
Price  25  cents. 

This  souvenir  of  the  semi-centenary  celebration  of  the  incorporation  of  Somer- 
ville preserves  much  of  the  local  history  of  that  city.  The  town  was  incorpo- 
rated March  3,  1842,  and  the  celebration  was  held  on  the  17th  of  .June  last,  the 
anniversary  of  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill.  A  striking  feature  of  this  souvenir  is 
the  numerous  portraits  of  prominent  citizens  of  Somerville,  which  ai-e  accom- 
panied by  sketches  of  the  lives  of  the  several  individuals.  There  are  also  many 
views  of  buildings  with  accounts  of  them,  and  other  embellishments.  The  en- 
gravings are  in  the  half-tone  process  and  are  all  excellent,  particularly  the  por- 
traits. Articles  on  the  early,  the  revolutionary  and  the  later  history  of  Somer- 
ville are  also  found  here.

Dr.  Toner  has  long  been  engaged  in  collecting  accurate  copies  of  all  of  the 
writings  of  Washington  which  he  could  obtain.  "Wherever  he  found  it  practi- 
cable to  "examine  and  critically  compare  even  his  geueially  accepted  writings 
•with  the  originals,  it  has  been  and  will  be  done,  to  secure  a  copy  of  exact  and 
verified  conformity,  in  every  particular,  with  the  text  as  it  left  the  hand  of  the 
writer." 

The  book  before  us  is  the  first  of  a  series  of  Washington's  writings  printed 
with  literal  exactness  which  Dr.  Toner  has  undertaken  to  prepare  for  tlie  press 
and  to  issue.  This  will  be  a  valuable  series  of  volumes.  The  present  work  is  the 
earliest  literary  ettbrt  of  Washington,  if  we  except  his  version  of  the  "  Rules  of 
Civility  and  Decent  Behaviour  in  Company  and  Conversation."  The  journal 
was  begun  when  the  writer  was  bnt  one  month  over  sixteen  years  of  age.  It  is 
here  printed  entire  and  verbatim,  with  many  useful  notes  by  the  editor.  The 
book  is  illustrated  by  ten  facsimiles  of  Washinirton's  plans  and  other  drawings. 
It  will  be  sought  by  those  who  wish  to  own  Washington's  writings  exactly  as 
they  were  written  by  him. 

Tributes  to  Shakespeare.  Collected  and  Arranged  by  Mary  R.  Silsby.  New 
York:  Harper  &  Brothers,  Printers  and  Publishers.  1892.  18mo.  pp.  xvi.+ 
246.     Price  §1.25. 

This  collection  of  poetical  tributes  to  him  who  "  was  not  of  an  age,  but  for 
all  time,"  was  happily  conceived  and  has  been  as  happily  executed.  The  selections 
range  in  time  from  the  year  1595  to  the  present  day.  The  tributes  written  during 
Shakespeare's  life  or  by  those  who  were  his  contemp.)raries  are  more  numerous 
than  is  generally  believed,  and  are  truly  appreciative.  Mrs.  Silsby  is  to  be 
congratulated  on  the  number  and  variety  of  the  poems  she  has  collected  in 
this  volume.  They  show  a  wide  range  of  thought.  The  poetic  admirers  of  the 
bard  of  Avon  embrace  much  of  the  highest  genius  and  talent.

"We  continue  in  this  number  our  quarterly  notices  of  recent  publications  re- 
lating to  genealogy. 

The  Lane  Genealogy,  the  first  book  on  our  list,  is  prepared  in  a  thorough 
manner.  The  volume  is  the  result  of  the  labors  of  various  individuals  running 
through  a  century  and  a  quarter.  About  1765,  Dea.  Jeremiah  Lane  of  Hampton 
Falls,  N.  H.,  prepared  a  genealogical  chart  of  his  branch  of  the  family.  His 
brother,  Dea.  Samuel  Lane,  of  Stratham,  N.  II.,  also  preserved  much  genealo- 
gical information  in  his  diary.  A  grandson  of  the  latter.  Dea.  Edmnnd  J.  Lane 
of  Dover,  N.  H.,  continued  the  work  of  hi<  grandfather  and  great-uncle,  and  a 
small  portion  of  his  collections  were  printed  in  the  Register,  vol.  37.  pp.  176-81. 
The  work  was  continued  by  Rev.  James  P.  Lane,  who  contributed  au  article  to 
the  Register,  vol.  42,  pp.  141-52.  Both  of  these  gentlemen  are  dead,  and  their 
genealogical  collections  have  been  placed  in  the  hands  of  Rev.  Messrs.  Chapman 
and  Fitts,  experienced  investigators  of  family  history,  who  have  be?towed  great 
labor  upon  the  work  iu  completing  the  genealogy  and  preparing  it  for  the  press. 
We  understand  that  the  chief  work  on  this  first  volume  is  by  Rev.  Jacob  Chap- 
man, author  of  genealogies  of  the  Folsom,  the  Philbrick,  the  Weeks  and  the 
Chapman  families,  which  have  been  noticed  by  us  in  former  years.  The  present 
work  will  add  to  his  reputation.  It  is  carefully  compiled,  handsomely  printed 
and  thoroughly  indexed. 

The  book  on  the  Weekes  family  is  by  Mr.  Robert  D.  Weekes  of  East  Orange, 
N.  J.,  who,  in  1885,  published  a  book  of  nearly  five  hundred  pages  on  the  de- 
scendants of  George  Weekes.  which  book  was  noticed  by  us  in  our  number  for 
January,  1SS6.  This  second  part  of  ius  book  contains  matters  collected  iu  the 
six  years  and  over  since  it  was  published.  The  author  spent  several  weeks  in 
England  in  the  summer  of  1590,  and  visited  the  ancient  homes  of  his  family  in

294  Book  Notices.  [July, 

Devonshire,  and  some  of  the  ilhistrations  in  this  book  are  reproductions  of 
photographic  views  obtained  there.  The  book  is  well  compiled  and  makes  a 
handsome  volume. 

The  book  on  the  Hoasrland  family  is  divided  into  four  books,  the  first  of 
•which  is  devoted  to  tlie  Ori-^in  of  the  Name  and  the  Early  Settlement  in  America; 
the  second  to  the  <jronealoi:v  of  (?oernelis  Diercksen  HonchUindt;  the  third  to 
the  srenealogv  of  Christottel  Iloasrlandt;  and  the  fourth  to  the  genealogy  of 
Dierck  Jausen  Iloa^land.  The  family  came  from  Holland,  and,  though  the 
author  does  not  claim  to  have  cleared  the  oriirin  of  the  name  of  all  obscurity,  he 
thinks  there  is  good  reason  for  deriving  it  from  the  Dutch  word  for  highland. 
The  name  is  found  in  this  country  as  early  as  1<338.  The  book  shows  great  re- 
search. It  is  handsomely  printed,  is  embellished  with  portraits,  family  groups, 
azid  other  fine  illustrations.     It  is  well  indexed. 

The  book  on  the  Stephens  Family  makes  a  line  volume,  and  appears  to  be  the 
result  of  careful  research.  The  family  iiere  2;iven  is  traced  to  Peter  vStephens, 
born  probably  between  the  years  16'J0  and  1700,  who,  with  others, — sixteen 
families  in  ill.— in  the  year  1732.  removed  from  Pennsylvania  and  settled  ia 
Virginia.  The  book  is  "well  printed  and  is  illustrated  with  twenty-four  portraits. 
Mrs.  Stoddard,  the  author  of  the  volume  on  the  Allen  family,  is  the  editor  of 
the  "  Account  of  the  Sufierings  and  Losses  of  JoUey  Allen,  a  native  of  London." 
noticed  by  us  October,  1SS3.  The  book  is  devoted  to  the  descendants  of  Cant. 
Nathaniel  Allen,  father  of  Jolley  Allen.  Capt.  Allen  was  a  native  of  London, 
born  in  KVOd,  who  commanded  a  packet  ship  wliich  sailed  between  London,  Eng- 
land, and  Boston,  New  England.  :Mrs.  Stoddard  has  made  a  very  interesting, 
useful  and  reliable  book.  It  is  handsomely  printed,  and  illustrated  with  many 
fine  portraits  and  views.  :Mrs.  Stoddard  lias  been  engaged  many  years  in  col- 
lecting the  materials  preserved  in  this  volume. 

The  two  works  on  the  Gill  family  by  Judge  Gill  of  Montreal,  Canada,  are 
devoted  to  the  descendants  of  Samuel  Gill,  a  native  of  New  England,  who  was 
taken  captive  when  a  boy  and  carried  to  Canada  near  the  beginning  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  where  he  settled  and  left  a  numerous  posterity.  The  author 
gives  an  account  of  the  effort^  made  by  his  descendants  to  ascertain  the  New 
England  ancestry  which  resulted  after  the  publication  of  his  first  book  in  the 
discoverv  that  he  was  a  irrandsou  of  John  Gill,  an  early  settler  of  Salisbury, 
Mass.  the  reader  of  the  Register  will  find  an  account  of  this  persevering  and 
successful  search  in  an  article  by  Prof.  Butler  of  :\Ladi>on,  Wis.,  in  this  number 
of  the  Register,  pp.  212-15.     Judge  Gill  has  made  an  interesting  work. 

The  book  on  the  Peloubet  family  contains  a  record  of  the  Peloubet  family  in 
France,  descended  from  Jammes  de  Chabrier  of  Lauzun  in  the  early  part  of  the 
sixteenth  centurv.  whose  grandson  Gabriel  was  the  founder  of  the  branch  de 
Poulabet.  The  line  is  traced  to  Joseph  Alexander  de  Chabner  de  Poulabet.  bora 
near  Lauzun,  March  10.  I7<U.  who  came  to  this  country  in  IS03.  and  finally 
settled  in  New  Jersey,  where  he  died  October,  18-14-,  aged  80.  The  book  also 
contains  a  record  of"  the  descendants  of  the  emiarant  and  a  funeral  sermon  on 
his  sou,  Mr.  Chabrier  Peloubet.  by  Rev.  Henry  W.  Ballantine.  delivered  in 
Bloomfleld,  N.  J.,  Dec.  1,  1865.     The  book  is  well"  compiled  and  well  printed. 

The  next  work  is  a  tabular  pediirree  of  William  King  of  Salem,  Mass.  The 
compiler  is  Mr.  Rufus  King  of  Yonkers,  N.  Y.,  who  has  had  much  experience 
in  genealoicical  research,  especially  relating  to  the  Kinirs.  It  makes  a  useful 
and'  handsome  table.  Mr.  King  'coutributed  to  Dr.  Howard's  Jlisrefhinea 
GenfyJorjic'i  et  Hi^rohUca  for  JunerisSl,  some  extracts  from  the  parish  registers 
of  Edward-itone,  Suttolk.  relating  to  the  family  of  King,  furnished  him  by  the 
vicar,  the  Rev.  George  H.  de  Studdert.  Mr.  Kinz  presented  to  the  New-Eng- 
land Historic  Oeneuloirical  Society,  ia  1880,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Studdert's  manuscript 
bound  with  the  printed  leaves. 

Mr.  Kelley,  the  author  of  the  next  Avork,  formerly  resided  in  Boston,  Mass., 
and  was  one  of  the  earlv  members  of  this  Society.  The  Kelleys  in  this  pamph- 
let are  descended  from  Thomas  Kellev,  who  cam.-  here  with  the  British  troops 
durin-,'  the  Trench  Avar  of  175.-.-02.  He  settled  at  I3rcntwood,  N.  H.  Other 
genealo2ical  matter  is  found  here.  The  pamphlet  is  embellished  with  a  group 
consisting  of  portraits  of  the  author,  his  daughter  and  his  grandson. 

The  next  work  is  devoted  to  the  ^enealoiry  of  the  Booth  family  in  England 
and  New  England.     It  is  well  prepared  and  handsomely  printed.

The  account  of  the  meeting  in  1891  at  Blaclistone,  Mass.,  of  the  descendants 
of  Ebenezer  Taft,  with  'Six.  Staples's  address  on  the  occasion,  preseires  a  record 
of  an  interesting  occasion. 

"We  are  glad  to  welcome  the  second  part  of  the  Putnam  genealogy,  the  first 
part  of  which  was  noticed  by  us  in  January  last.  It  brings  the  family  down  to 
the  tlfth  generation.  This  part  includes  Gen.  Israel  Putnam,  of  whom  a  good 
memoir  is  given,  illustrated  with  a  portrait  and  a  view  of  his  birthplace. 

The  pamphlet  on  the  Ilildreth  family  is  a  reprint  of  the  newspaper  articles 
noticed  by  us  in  this  number  {ante,  pp.  2~5-6).  Capt.  Reade  has  done  a  good 
service  by  preserving  iu  priut  this  account  of  the  origin  and  genealogy  of  the 
Hildreth  Family  of  Lowell.  It  is  embellished  with  a  view"  of  the  Hildreth 
homestead  at  Dracut,  besides  fac-similes  of  documents  and  views  of  ancient 
gravestones. 

The  Starkeys  in  New  England  is  a  reprint  from  the  last  number  of  the 
Register.

to  this  country  in  IGjo,  and  who  in 
1639  purchased  of  the  Indians  an  island 
now  known  as  Gardiner's  Island. 

David  Lion  Gardiner  was  bom  in

James  Ripley  Osgood,  A.M.,  head  of  the 
London  publishing  iirra  of  Osarood.  Mc- 
Hvaine  &  Co.,   died  in  London,  Eng., 
on  the  evening  of  May   18,  1892,  aged 
56.     He  was   a  son  of  Edward  Louis 
and  Abby   Ripley  (Dana)   Osgood  of 
Fryeburg,  Me.,  and  was  born  in  that 
town  Feb.  22,  1836.    From  childhood  he 
showed  rem.arkable   literary   aptitude. 
He  was  graduated  at  BowdoinCoUese 
in  18-54,  and  the  next  year  entered  the 
publishing  house  of  Ticknor  i:  Fields, 
in  Boston,  Mass.,  as  a  clerk.     In  1864, 
he  became  a  partner  in  the  tirra,  which 
successively  bore  the  names  of  Ticknor, 
Fields   &  Co.;    Fields,  Osgood  &   Co. 
and  James  R.  Osgood  ^c  Co.     In  1878, 
th(  latter  firm  was  consolidated  with 
that  of  H.  O.  Houghton  ic  Co.  under 
the  firm  name  of  Houghton,  Osgood  & 
Co.     In  1S80,  this  partnership  was  dis- 
solved, and  the  two  firms  of  Houghton, 
Mifflin  &  Co.  and  James  R.  Osgood  & 
Co.  were  formed.     Five  years  later  Mr. 
Osgood    retired   from    the    latter   firm 
and  formed  a  business  connection  v.-ith 
Harper   &    Bios.,    taking   the   London 
agency  for  their  publications.     A  year 
ago  he  established  the  London  house 
of  Osgood,  Mcllvaine  &  Co.     Mr.  Os- 
good was  never  married.     His  mother 
and    two    unmarried  sisters   reside  in 
Boston.     One  of  his  sisters.  Miss  Kate 
Putnam  Osgood,   is    well  kno^sm  as  a 
writer.      The    New    York    Publishers^ 
Weel:ly,  to  which  we  are  indebted  tor 
some  of  these  facts,  says  of  him  :  ■'  Few 
men  in  the  trade  enjoyed  greater  popu- 
larity among  authors  in  this  country 
and  abroad.     Iiideed,  his  genial,  warm 
hearted,  generous  nature  made  him  a 
friend  to  all  with  whom  he  came  into 
contact."

GENEALOGICAL  GLEANINGS  IN  ENGLAND. 

By  Henry  F.  Waters,  A.M. 
[Continued  from  page  156.] 

Many  readers  of  Waters's  "  Genealogical  Gleanirifrs  in  England  " 
have  made  inquiry  as  to  tlie  significance  of  the  surnames  appended 
to  the  abstracts  of  the  several  wills  printed  in  this  series  of  articles. 
The  answer  is  that  the  names  indicate  the  volumes  where  the  wills 
are  to  be  found.  Instead  of  the  volumes  of  the  registers  of  wills  of 
the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury  being  numbered,  as  those  of 
our  own  Probate  records  are,  they  are  labelled  and  referred  to  by 
surnames.  The  editor  of  the  Rkgister  asked  Mr.  "Waters  to 
write  out  for  publication  in  his  "Gleanings"  an  explanation  of  this 
plan.  He  said  he  would  willingly  do  so,  but  that  his  friend  J. 
Challenor  Covington  Smith,  Esq.,  superintendent  of  the  literary 
department  of  the  Probate  Registry,  Somerset  House,  London, 
could  give  a  fuller  and  more  reliable  statement,  and  advised  tiie 
editor  to  invite  ]Mr.  Smith  to  prepare  such  a  paper.  That  gentle- 
man, who  has  taken  much  interest  in  Mr.  '\^'aters  and  his  researches 
as  well  as  in  the  Register,  consented  to  do  this,  and  has  prepared 
the  following  paper  which  gives  much  valuable  information  concern- 
ing the  principal  Probate  registry  of  England. — Editor. 

Will-registers  of  the  Prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury. 

From  time  immemorial  these  MS.  books  have  been  labelled  with,  and 
identified  by.  names — not  numbers  nor  dates.  The  inaccuracy,  and  conse- 
quent inconvenience,  inseparable  from  the  use  of  numerals  for  such  purposes 
sufficiently  show  the  advantage  of  (and  perhaps  the  reason  for)  the  method 
adopted  in  the  prerogative  otfice. 

No  doubt  it  was  found  impracticable  to  adhere  rigidly  to  any  particular 
plan  in  selecting  names  for  the  successive  volumes,  but  at  any  rate  the 
designations  were,  from  whatever  cause,  chosen  on  diiferent  systems  at 
different  periods. 

"With  the  exception  of  book  *'  Crumwell,"  the  54  earliest  registers  bore 
the  names  of  the  testators  whose  wills  happened  to  occur  tirst  in  the  re- 
spective volumes. 

Register  "■Crumwell"  (1536-40)  took  that  title  from  Thomas  Crum- 
well,* at  that  time  the  King's  Vicegerent  in  ecclesiastical  (including  of 
course  testamentary)  matters.  This  volume  is,  in  many  respects,  distinct 
from  the  main  series,  and  there  is  a  strong  presumption  that  it  represents 
a  jurisdiction  which  the  Vicegerent  claimed  and  exercised,  independent  of 
the  Archbishop's  prerogative. 

•  His  surname  is  repeatedly  thus  spelt  in  the  pre^mlile  to  this  register,  though  it  ia 
usually  written  '•  Cromwell  "  and  mis-pronounced  accordingly.

[MEMOIR  OF  SAMUEL  PAGE  FOWLER. 

By  the  Editor  of  the  Register. 

Samuel  P.  Fowler  was  the  son  of  Samuel  and  Clarissa  (Page) 
Fowler  of  Danvers,  Mass.,  and  was  born  in  that  town,  April  22, 
1800.  His  father,  Samuel  Fowler,  was  a  descendent  in  the  seventh 
generation  from  Philip'  Fowler  of  Ipswich,  Mass.,  through  Joseph,* 
Philip,^  Joseph,*  Joseph,^  and  SamueP  Fowler.  His  immigrant 
ancestor  Philip'  Fowler  was  a  cloth  worker,  who  came  probably 
from  Marlborough  in  Wiltshire,  England,  and  settled  in  Ipswich, 
Mass.  He  arrived  in  New  England  in  May,  1634,  in  the  Mary 
and  John,  the  master  of  which  vessel  was  Robert  Sayres  (see  Reg- 
ister, vol.  9,  page  267). 

His  mother,  Clarissa  Page,  was  a  daughter  of  Capt.  Samuel  Page, 
who  was  the  sixth  g-eneration  in  descent  from  John'  Pafje,  throu':'h 
John,*  Samuel,^  Samuel,*  and  Jeremiah^.  The  immigrant,  Joim' 
Page,  came  in  the  fleet  with  Gov.  John  Winthrop  in  1630,  and  set- 
tled in  Watertown.  He  was  from  Dedhara,  in  Essex,  where  the 
famous  Rev.  John  Rogers  preached.  Besides  the  Fowler  and  Page 
blood  which  he  inherited,  he  was  descended  from  some  others  of  the 
best  families  of  Essex  county,  among  which  may  be  named  tliose  of 
Putnam,  Prince,  Rogers,  Andrews,  Bartlett,  Lawrence,  Herrick, 
Kimball,  Paine  and  Hutchinson. 

Samuel  P.  Fowler's  early  education  was  obtained  in  the  district 
school  of  Danvers.  He  used  at  school,  Caleb  Bingham's  two  reading 
books,  the  American  Preceptor  and  the  Columbian  Orator,  and 
studied  geography  in  the  Rev.  Jedediah  Morse's  popular  book.  The 
rudiments  of  grammar  were  learned  from  another  of  Bingham's  school 
books,  the  Young  Ladies'  Accidence.  He  also  m.astered  the  difficul- 
ties of  Michael  Walsh's  Arithmetic,  first  publishedtheyear  after  he  was 
born.  He  made  the  best  use  in  his  power  of  the  meagre  advantages 
for  education  that  the  town  afforded  him.  "Some  of  his  composi- 
tions" says  his  daughter,  "written  when  he  was  ten  and  twelve  years 
old,  many  of  his  writing  books  and  several  sum  books  are  in  the

possession  of  the  writer,  and  their  superior  excellence  furnishes  ample 
evidence  that  he  improved  his  opportunities  to  the  utmost."*  The 
author  of  a  sketch  of  his  life  in  the  History  of  Essex  County,  says  : 

New  ]\Iills  [now  Danversport,  the  village  where  he  resided]  was  at  that 
time  the  home  of  shipbuilders  and  sea  captains,  who  on  their  return  from 
their  vovages  would  tell  their  listening  townsmen  of  the  lands  they  had 
visited,  so  that  the  boys  of  that  period  were  made  familiar  with  foreign 
countries  and  the  character  of  their  inhabitants.  Another  factor  which 
helped  to  develop  a  desire  for  knowledge  and  a  taste  for  reading:  in  the 
subject  of  this  sketch,  was  the  New  3Iilh  Social  Library  formed  in  1803, 
with  the  best  books  then  to  be  found  in  the  range  of  English  Literature.f 

Mr.  Fowler  learned  of  his  father  the  trade  of  a  tanner,  and  from 
early  manhood  to  1875  successfully  carried  on  that  business  in  his 
native  town.  In  his  youth  a  taste  for  natural  history  was  developed 
and  after  he  became  a  man  his  leisure  hours  were  devoted  to  its  study. 
He  made  a  study  of  our  native  birds  and  became  thoroughly  conversant 
with  their  notes  and  habits.     His  observations  on  the  habits  of  various 

insects  destructive  to  vegetation,  embodied  in  a  prize  essay  read  be-  i 

fore  the  Essex  Agricultural  Society,  and  entitled  "Essay  upon  the  | 

Destruction  of  Insects  injurious  to  Vegetation,"   contain  many  valu-  \ 

able  suggestions  as  to  the  best  methods  of  freeing  our  orchards  and  1 
gardens  of  the  pests  that  infest  them.     To  the  New  England  Farmer, 
besides  numerous  single  papers,  he  contributed  five  very  interesting 
series  of  articles,  viz.:  "On  the  Cultivation  of  Native  Trees   and 

Shrubs,"  1850  and  1851  ;  "The  History  of  the  Apple  Tree,"  1852  ;  [ 

"Governor   Endicott  as   a  Horticulturist,"  1852;    "Birds  of  New  \ 

England,"  1853,  and  "Ornithology,"  1858.      Concerning  the  "His-  j 

tory  of  the  Apple  Tree,"  Ex-Lieut.  Gov.  Brown,  editor  of  the  Farmer,  I 

thus  -writes  in  his  journal : — "This  number  closes  the  series  of  admi-  f 

rable  papers  upon  the  'History  of  the  Apple  Tree.'     Mr.   Fowler  i 

has  written  them  in  a  plain,  strong  style,  with  a  spice  of  quaintness  \ 

in  his   extracts   and  allusions  to  the  old  writers,  which,  added  to  \ 

their  other  merits,  has  rendered  them  very  popular.     They  have  been  [ 

copied  into  other  journals,  and  will  prove  valuable  papers  of  refer-  \ 

ence.      We  take  this  opportunity  to  thank  the  writer  for  his  contri-  •; 

butions,  and  to  express  a  hope  that  his  pen  will  not  long  remain  idle."  1 

In  another  place  Editor  Brown  thus  speaks  ; — "I  should  be  glad  I 

to  mention  in  terms  of  the  warmest  approbation,  the  names  of  such  | 

men  as  Mr.  Proctor,   Mr.  Waters  of  Beverly,   Mr.  Fay  of  Lynn,  \ 

Mr.   Aver  of  South  Danvers,   Mr.  S.  P.  Fowler  of  Danvers,   etc.,  j 

all  of  whom  reside  in  this  ancient  county,   and  who  have  often   in-  f 

structed  me  either  by  precept  or  example.     It  is  especially  such  men  j 

that  give  dignity  to  the  calling,  because  they  ennoble  it,  not  only  by  \

their  skill  in  the  cultivation  of  the  soil,  but  bv  their  enlightened  and 
intelligent  minds.  They  are  emphatically  producers, — the  earth 
yields  up  her  bounties  to  their  skill,  and  they  produce  a  love  of  the 
calling  in  the  young  by  their  candid  and  attractive  writings.'' 

In  1875,  Wilson  Flagg  dedicated  his  book,  "Birds  and  Seasons 
of  New  England,"  to  Deacon  Fowler.  He  was'  interested  in  horti- 
culture, and  some  of  his  exhibitions  at  tiie  ^lassachusetts  Hoiticultural 
Society  attracted  much  attention.  Deacon  Fowler  was  always  a 
great  lover  of  flv^wers,  and  had  a  fine  flower  garden  both  at  Dan- 
versport  and  Danvers  Plains.  These  gardens  were  often  visited  by 
distinguished  botanists  and  other  persons,  who  often  expressed  their 
surprise  and  great  satisfixction,  not  only  at  the  variety  and  great 
beauty  of  his  rare  plants  and  shrubs,  but  also  of  those  indigenous  to 
our  soil. 

He  took  great  interest  in  town  affairs  and  held  various  offices  of 
trust.  On  March  26,  1825,  he  was  elected  ensign  of  a  company  in 
the  Fifth  Regiment  of  Infantry,  in  the  first  brigade  and  second  divi- 
sion of  the  militia  of  Masssachusetts.  On  April  17,  1829,  he  was 
elected  lieutenant  of  the  same  company.  On  May  18,  1830,  he 
was  elected  captain  of  the  same  company.  He  was  also  a  member 
of  the  Danvers  Light  Infantry.  He  was  clerk  or  member  of  the 
school  board  from  1828  to  1838,  and  was  on  the  board  of  health 
three  years.  Before  the  division  of  Danvers  in  1856  he  was  select- 
man, and  assessor  from  1835  to  1810,  auditor  1833,  1841  and 
1812,  and  moderator  of  the  town  meeting  in  1839.  He  was  chosen 
overseer  of  the  poor  in  1843  and  held  the  office  uninterruptedly, 
with  one  exi^eption,  for  over  forty-four  years.  After  the  division 
of  the  town  he  was  chairman  of  the  board.  He  was  on  the  com- 
mittee to  make  arrangements  for  the  centennial  celebration  of  Dan- 
vers on  June  16,  1852.  He  represented  Danvers  in  the  General 
Court  from  1837  to  1839.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Massachusetts 
Constitutional  Convention  held  at  Boston  in  1853. 

He  was  one  of  the  twelve  persons  who  in  1834  organized  the 
Essex  County  Natural  History  Society,  and  at  the  time  of  his  death 
was  the  only  survivor.  At  the  fiftieth  anniversary,  held  at  Topsfield 
in  June,  1884,  he  was  present,  and  in  an  address  on  that  occasion, 
alluding  to  the  first  meeting  of  the  Society,  said,  "After  dinner  a 
stroll  was  taken  in  the  woods  and  fields,  and  among  the  plants 
gathered  was  a  fine  specimen  of  blood  root  (Sanguinaria  Cana- 
densis), which  was  taken  up  with  a  spade,  and  upon  our  return  it 
was  placed  in  the  middle  of  the  table,  with  a  newspaper  under  it, 
when  we  pledged  ourselves  to  sustain  the  Essex  County  Natural 
History  Society  and  promote  its  interests."  He  was  the  curator 
from  1846  to  1848.  The  Essex  Institute  was  formed  in  1848  by

member  of  the  committees  on  the  library  and  on  field  meetings  from

1856  to  1871,  and  one  of  the  vice  presidents  of  the  Natural  History 
department  from  1861  to  1871,   when  he  withdrew  from  office. 

He  early  showed  a  fondness  for  historical  research.  In  local 
history  he  was  proficient,  and  in  a  knowledge  of  the  history  of  his 
native  town  he  had  not  an  equal.  He  collected  a  very  valuable 
private  library,  which  was  particularly  rich  in  American  local  history. 

For  many  years  he  contributed  to  the  Danvers  Mirror  very  interesting 
and  valuable  articles  upon  the  ancient  history  and  doings  of  the  town. 
Occasionally  he  contributed  articles  to  Salem  and  other  newspapers.  He 
has  been  a  prolific  contributor  to  the  Proceedings,  the  Historical  Collections 
aod  the  Bulletins  of  the  Essex  Institute.  In  the  half  century  which  elapsed 
between  183-4  and  1884,  no  less  than  seventeen  valuable  papers  from  his 
indefatigable  pen,  treating  ou  a  variety  of  topics,  almost  equal  to  their  uum- 
ber,  have  enriched  their  files. 

He  gave  special  time  and  thought  to  the  study  of  the  Witchcraft  Delu- 
sion of  1692,  and  the  causes  which  led  to  its  origin  and  continuance,  and 
published  [in  1857]  an  "  Account  of  the  Life  and  Character  of  the  Rev. 
Samuel  Parris  of  Salem  Village,  and  of  his  Connection  with  the  Witchcraft 
Delusion  of  1G92;"  andedited^[in  1861]  with  notes  and  explanations,  Robert 
Calefs  book  on  Salem  Witchcraft,  which  contained  also  Ci^tton  Mather's 
account  of  Witchcraft.  He  made  also  a  large  collection  of  materials  bear- 
ing upon  this  subject,  copied  from  the  church  and  court  records  of  that  period. 
It  is  largely  due  to  his  research  and  interpretation  of  Mr.  Parris's  conduct 
in  the  afftir  that  a  more  favorable  construction  is  now  held  of  the  motives 
which  actuated  him  and  the  neighboring  clergy  in  their  treatment  of  those 
persons  accused  of  practising  witchcraft.* 

On  the  fourth  of  June,  1862,  he  was  elected  a  resident  member  of 
the  Xew-England  Historic  Genealogical  Society.  He  was  appointed 
by  the  founder,  George  Peabody  of  London,  a  trustee  of  the  Peabody 
Institute  of  Danvers,  and  when  the  Rev.  Milton  P.  Braman,  D.D. 
resigned  the  presidency  of  the  board,  he  succeeded  him  as  president. 
This  office  he  held  till  his  resignation  in  March  1879.  He  was 
chairman  of  the  library  committee  and  selected  many  of  the  books 
for  the  library. 

He  was  admitted  March  26,  1823,  to  Jordan  Lodge  of  Free  and 
Accepted  Masons.  In  1850  he  was  one  of  the  corporators  of  the 
Danvers  Savings  Bank,  of  which  institution  he  was  one  of  the  first 
trustees.  He  was  actively  engaged  in  the  formation  of  the  First 
National  Bank  of  Danvers,  and  was  a  director  from  1863. 

In  1832  he  was  admitted  to  the  First  Church,  of  which  the  Rev. 
Dr.  Milton  P.  Braman  was  pastor.  On  the  5th  of  December  184-4, 
the  Maple  Street  Church  was  organized,  and  he  became  one  of  the 
orginal  members,  and  one  of  its  first  deacons.  He  was  clerk  of  this 
parish  for  over  thirty  years. 

His  daughter  considers  what  he  did  in  establishing  the  beautiful

Walnut  Grove  Cemetery  in  his  native  town  one  of  the   principal 
works  of  his  Hfe.      She  gives  this  account  of  it : 

Before  the  general  awakening  of  the  public  miud  to  the  subject,  Dea- 
con Forvler  was  keenly  alive  to  the  fact  that  our  burial  places  were 
neglected  aud  unattractive,  and  it  was  largely  through  his  efforts  and  those 
of  his  brother  Mr.  Henry  Fowler  and  others,  that  a  tract  of  land  was  pur- 
chased to  be  laid  out  as  a  Cemetery,  aud  in  ISiS  the  Walnut  Grove  Ceme- 
tery Corporation  was  formed.  The  Cemetery  was  consecrated  June  23d, 
1844:.  Dea.  Fowler  was  chosen  one  of  the  first  Trustees,  and  continued  in 
that  office  until  1887,  a  period  of  forty-five  years,  when  he  resigned.  He 
was  its  Treasurer  from  1861-67,  1869-87,  a  period  of  twenty-five  years, 
when  he  resigned.  He  became  its  President  in  1845,  and  held  that  otDce 
until  18S7,  a  period  of  forty-two  years,  when  he  resigned. 

Walnut  Grove  Cemetery  will  always  remain  a  monument  to  Dea. 
Fowler's,  memory,  ever  speaking  of  the  thoughful  care  and  untiring  efforts 
for  its  improvement  which  he  bestowed  upon  it  for  nearly  half  a  century, — 
efforts  most  keenly  enjoyed  by  him,  but  which  were  too  excessive  for  his 
declining  years,  aud  which,  alas,  hastened  his  progress  to  the  grave.  He 
used  to  call  it  one  of  his  pets,  and  such  indeed  it  was,  as  his  devotion  to  its 
interests  was  a  labor  of  love,  the  pecuniary  compensation  being  but  slight.* 

Dea.  Fowler  was  married  on  the  3(1  of  December,  1833,  to  Miss 
Harriet  Putnam,  daughter  of  Moses  and  Betsey  (Putnam)  Putnam. 
She  was  born  in  Danvers,  May  11,  180G,  and  died  on  the  13th  of 
May,  1891.  Their  children  were  :  1,  Clara  Putnam,  born  ^Nlarch 
20,  1836;  married,  November  25,  1856,  George  Edson  Du  Bois, 
of  Randolph,  Mass.,  who  was  born  Feb.  24,  1829,  and  died  Xov. 
3,  1859.  2,  Samuel  Page,  born  Dec.  6,  1838.  3,  Harriet  Put- 
nam, born  July  25,  1842.  The  golden  anniversary  of  their  wedding 
occurred  December  3,  1883,  and  it  was  proposed  that  the  event 
should  be  properly  celebrated.  "  With  the  dislike  for  show  and 
display  which  was  a  strong  characteristic  of  Dea.  Fowler,  he  objected 
to  a  set  party,  but  said  that  if  any  of  his  friends  would  like  to  call 
upon  him  on  that  day,  he  would  be  most  happy  to  see  them.  How- 
ever, a  few  days  before  the  time  arrived  he  had  an  attack  of  pneu- 
monia. Consequently  no  one  except  his  near  relatives  called  to 
offer  their  congratulations,  and  even  these  were  unable  to  see  him."f 

He  died  at  Danvers,  Saturday  morning,  December  15,  1888^ 
aged  eighty-eight  years.  He  had  had  a  short  illness  in  October, 
1887,  from  the  effects  of  which  he  never  fully  recovered.  A 
gradual  failure,  hardly  perceptible,  followed.  "  In  November  of  the 
next  year,"  his  daughter  writes,  "he  took  a  severe  cold,  and  ere 
long  it  became  painfully  evident  that  his  days  upon  earth  were 
numbered.  Yet  with  characteristic  energy,  he  did  not  take  to  his 
bed  until  a  few  days  before  his  death.  A  portion  of  this  time  he 
was  delirious,  and  the  night  he  died  he  uttered  only  a  few  intelli- 
gible sentences.     He  expressed  his  trust  in  the  Saviour,  and  spoke

of  Maple  Street  Church,  and  the  work  there  was  to  do  in  it.  Once 
he  said,  "  I  want  to  go  up  into  my  library,"  and  tried  to  arise  ;  but 
when  I  told  him  it  was  dark  and  he  had  better  wait  until  mornincj, 
he  seemed  satisfied.  He  also  asked  if  the  bulbs  had  come,  and  went 
through  the  motions  of  planting  them  in  the  ground,  tlms  showing 
that  his  last  thoughts  were  of  the  church,  the  Sabbath  Lchool,  his 
library  and  his  garden.  At  half  past  four  o'clock,  on  the  morning 
of  the  fifteenth  of  December,  he  breathed  his  last."*  Funeral  ser- 
vices were  held  on  the  following  Tuesday,  the  eighteentii  of  that 
month,  a  private  service  being  held  at  half  past  one  in  the  afternoon 
at  the  house  on  Cherry  street,  and  public  obsequies  at  tlie  Maple 
Street  Church  at  a  quarter  past  two.  The  officiating  clergymen  were 
the  Rev.  Edward  C.  Ewing,  his  pastor,  the  Rev.  Charles  B.  Rice, 
of  the  First  Church,  and  the  Rev.  James  Fletcher  of  Acton,  a  for- 
mer pastor  of  the  ]Maple  Street  Church.  At  a  memorial  service, 
held  at  the  Church  shortly  after  his  death,  remarks  were  made 
by  Dea.  John  S.  Learoyd,  Dea.  Samuel  Sawyer,  Mr.  George  W. 
Fiske  and  Dr.  Warren  Porter.  We  close  this  memoir  with  an  ex- 
tract from  the  Rev.  Mr.  Rice's  address  at  Dea.  Fowler's  funeral : 

In  speakin^f  of  the  public  side  of  Deacon  Fowler's  life  I  need  not  go  over 
the  list  of  the  many  stations  he  bus  held  and  the  offices  he  has  tilled.  They 
have  been  given  fully  in  public  print,  and  they  are  known  besides  to  most 
of  us.  There  was  a  great  range  of  them.  They  had  to  do  with  the  neigh- 
borhood and  the  town  and  the  state,  and  they  had  to  do  with  a  large  variety 
of  topics  and  affairs.  He  was  very  early  and  very  originally  active  in  the 
cause  of  temperance  in  his  own  town;  and  in  the  cause  of  freedom  in  the 
nation.  He  took  a  prominent  part  in  the  famous  meeting  called  in  Danvers 
on  the  4th  of  March,  1833,  to  arrest  drunkenness  in  the  town,  and,  as  the 
result  of  his  personal  efforts,  Danvers  was  the  first  town  in  Massachusetts 
to  declare  against  license  and  the  rum  tratfic.  He  was  busy  in  an  intelli- 
gent and  effective  way  in  matters  of  science  as  a  naturalist;  and  in  local 
history  as  an  antiquarian.  He  was  one  of  the  two  men  who  during  the 
last  thirty-five  years  at  least  possessed  the  largest  store  of  personal,  local 
and  traditional  history  of  our  town.  He  was  the  last  of  the  two.  There 
was  scarely  any  element  of  our  common  life  as  citizens — social,  educa- 
tional, literary,  financial  or  charitable,  with  which  he  has  not  at  some  time 
been  conspicuously  engaged.  And  in  most  cases  his  occupation  with  them 
has  been  long-continued,  and  has  been  only  for  a  brief  space  interrupted. 

He  had  views,  opinions  and  purposes  of  his  own  as  to  all  matters  with 
which  be  had  to  do.  He  was  not  a  man  of  many  words,  but  when  he  did 
speak  it  could  always  be  understood.  He  was  an  easy  man  for  other  men 
to  work  with;  and  everywhere  he  lived  in  peace  and  not  in  strife. 

I  suppose  he  has  been  most  widely  known  in  connection  with  the  town 
office  of  Overseer  of  the  Poor,  which  he  held  for  almost  half  a  century,  and 
for  a  large  part  of  the  time  was  chairman  of  the  board.  Their  meetings 
were  held  at  his  house,  much  of  the  time  weekly,  for  many  years,  and  there 
the  persons  receiving  aid  called  upon  him  by  day  or  by  night,  and  were 
alv/ays  kindly  and  politely  met,  and  so  far  as  could  be  their  wants  were  sup-

plied.  It  has  been  said  sometimes  that  in  these  matters  he  took  counsel 
of  his  sympathies  rather  than  his  judgment.  I  do  not  think  I  am  sorry  if 
that  was  true.  With  pubUc  affairs  in  such  a  place  it  must  always  be  a  de- 
licate and  difficult  matter  to  bring  judgment  and  feeling  freely  together  and 
hold  a  steady  balance  between  them;  and  I  think  it  is  better  in  such  cases 
that  the  scales  should  incline  on  the  side  of  kindliness  and  of  trust.  I 
doubt  if  the  citizens  of  our  town,  whose  representative  he  was,  are  sorry 
now  that  it  was  so.  It  is  pleasant  to  remember  that  for  so  long  a  period 
such  a  man  has  stood  for  us  in  the  presence  of  the  poor  that  needed  help. 
Indeed,  if  the  people  were  not  pleased  with  his  administration  of  this  trust 
they  must  have  been  dull  and  slow  to  an  extreme  degree  in  discoverinor 
their  displeasure.  They  re-appointed  him  during  this  long  periud  annually 
to  the  place,  and  for  many  years  his  vote  led  the  poll,  and  was  larger  than 
was  given  to  any  other  man  for  any  office.  Deacon  Fcwlei-,  too,  had  more 
than  an  official  interest  in  the  trust.  He  gathered  flowers  i'rom  his  garden 
and  gave  to  the  women  wbo  came  there  to  call  upon  him,  and  to  their 
children.  I  do  not  think  I  transgress  the  proprieties  of  this  occasion  either, 
when  I  refer  to  the  living,  and  speak  of  his  wife,  whose  household  arrano-e- 
ments  during  many  years  were  often  much  broken  in  upon  by  the  meetings 
at  her  house  and  by  the  calls  continually  made,  and  who  bore  these  inter- 
ruptions as  he  did,  and  to  whom  we,  the  people  of  the  town,  owe  to-day  a 
share  in  our  affectionate  and  grateful  recognition. 

I  think  that  in  connection  with  this  long  official  and  public  service  there 
comes  to  our  minds,  of  that  which  we  could  wish  to  change,  as  little  as 
might  be  likely  to  occur  to  us  on  any  other  such  occasion.  His  service 
among  us  was  indeed  long.  He  was  an  active  and  conspicuous  person  in 
this  county  and  m  this  region  for  a  period  much  longer  than  the  average 
life.  His  removal  from  among  us  is  a  most  impressive  event.  To  many 
long  associated  with  him  in  the  direction  of  affairs  it  comes  peculiarly 
severe.  But  we  may  all  recall  comforting  as  well  as  sad  recollections  and 
reflections.  Our  gratitude  and  our  trust  prevail  when  a  good  man  goes 
from  us  in  full  age,  and  in  the  Christian  trusc  the  thoughts  of  sadness  that 
are  in  our  minds  are  but  to  many  as  the  thoughts  of  comfort  and  of  hope. 


REV.   STEPHEN   BACHILER. 

B7  the  Hon.  Chahles  E.  Batchelder,  of  Portsmouth,  N.  H. 

[Concluded  from  page  251.] 

On  the  20th  of  April,  1647,  Mr.  Bachiler  had  left  Hampton  aud  vyas 
living  in  Portsmouth,  then  called  Strawberry  Bank.  On  tliat  day  he  con- 
veyed all  his  remaining  estate  at  Hampton,  including  all  grants  not  ap- 
pointed, to  his  grandson,  John  Samboni,  who  was  to  give  bond  to  pay  tha 
grantor's  other  three  grandchildren,  namely,  Nathaniel  Bachiler,  Stephen 
Samborn  aud  William  Samborn,  £20  each.*

Parker,  who  though  not  settled  hud  preaclied  there  several  years,  Lad 
shortly  before  gone  to  Barbadoes.* 

On  the  27th  of  June,  1647,  James  Woodward  made  his  will  and  ap- 
pointed Mr.  Biichiler  one  of  his  overseers.  This  will  was  proved  at  Dover, 
Sept.  10,  lG17.t 

On  the  6:  2mo:  1C50  the  town  of  Hampton  authorized  the  three  men, 
"William  Fuller,  William  Esto  and  Francis  Peabody,  as  they  are  sum- 
monsed, to  answer  Mr.  Bachiler's  action  at  Solsbery  Court  in  the  townes 
behalf.| 

Shortly  after  his  removal  to  Strawberry  Bank  Mr.  Bachiler's  usual  good 
judgment  seems  to  have  deserted  him.  He  was  a  widower  and  obtained 
for  a  housekeeper  a  widow,  whom  he  calls  "  an  honest  neighbour."  He 
soon  married  her  and  the  match  turned  out  in  every  way  unfortunate.  She 
was  an  adultress  and  her  husband  spetdily  discovered  her  character.  His 
third  marriage  is  usually  said  to  have  been  contracted  early  in  1050,  but  as 
the  town  of  Kittery  granted  her  a  lot,  under  the  nume  of  Mrs.  Baccheller, 
on  the  14th  of  February,  1648§,  the  marriage  must  have  taken  place  in 
1647  or  1643,  when  he  was  eighty-six  or  eighty -seven  years  old.  illi 
wife,  Mary,  was  evidently  much  younger  than  he.  In  May,  IGoO,  he  was 
fined  ten  pounds  for  not  publishing  his  intention  of  marriage  according  to 
law.     In  October  of  the  same  year  one  half  of  this  tine  was  remitted. 

Perhaps  the  following  extract  from  the  Gorgeana  Records  may  explaia 
this  leniency :  "  At  a  Generall  court  houlden  at  Gorgeana  th-^i!  15'''  of 
Octo^  1650  George  Rogers  &  Mr'  Batcheller  p'sented  upon  vehement 
suspition  of  incontineucy  for  liveing  in  one  house  together  &  lieing  in  on.e 
rome.     They  are  to  be  separated  before  the  next  court  or  to  pay  40s. ''|! 

Lewis  copies  from  the  York  records  under  date  of  Oct.  15,  1651,  the 
following:  "  We  do  present  George  Rogers  and  Mary  Batcheller,  the  wife 
of  Mr.  Stephen  Batcheller,  minister,  for  adultery.  It  is  ordered  that  Mrs. 
Batcheller,  for  her  adultery,  shall  receive  forty  stripes  save  one,  at  the  first 
town  meeting  held  at  Kittery.  6  weeks  after  her  delivery,  and  be  branded 
with  the  letter  A.'"*[     These  appear  clearly  to  be  two  separate  offences. 

In  Octoi)er  of  the  same  year  the  Court  passed  the  following  order :  "  that 
Mr.  Batchelor  and  his  wife  shall  lyve  together  as  man  and  wife,  as  in  this 
Court  they  have  publiquely  professed  to  doe:  and  if  either  desert  one 
another,  then  hereby  the  Court  doth  order  that  the  marshal  shall  apprehend 
both  the  said  Mr  Batchelor  and  Mary  his  wife,  and  bring  them  forthwith 
to  Boston,  there  to  be  kept  till  the  next  Quarter  Court  of  Assistants,  that 
farther  consideration  thereof  may  be  had,  both  of  them  moving  for  a 
divorce:  and  this  order  shall  be  sufficient  order  soe  to  doe:  provided  iiot- 
withstanding,  that  if  they  put  in  £^0  each  of  them,  for  their  appearance, 
with  such  sureties  as  the  commissioners  or  any  one  of  them  for  the  county 
shall  think  good  to  accept  of,  that  then  tiiey  shall  be  under  th'^ir  buile,  to 
appear  at  tlie  next  Court  of  Assistants:  and  in  case  Mary  Batchelor  shall 
live  out  of  the  jurisdiction,  without  mutual  consent  for  a  time,  chat  then  :iie

It  is  evident  that  Mr.  Bachiler  charged  his  wife  with  adultery  and  praved 
for  a  divorce.  ^  The  hearing  was  deferred  to  the  next  court  of  assistants. 
She  had  been  indicted  for  adultery  in  Maine.  In  view  of  these  facts  the 
above  order  is  most  atrocious.  The  man  is  ordered  to  live  as  a  husband 
with  an  adultress  during  the  pendency  of  divorce  proceedings  for  that  cause 
and  a  term  in  jail  is  threatened  for  disobedience  of  the  orde^r  with  the  usual 
privilege  of  giving  bail.  Was  not  Lewis's  explanation  of  this  unaccount- 
able order  the  correct  one,  namely,  that  there  was  a  settled  determination 
to  make  his  continuance  here  as  uncomfortable  as  possible? 

After  her  separation  from  her  husband  Mrs.  Mary  Bachiler  lived  on  her 
lot  in  Kittery,  granted  her  in  1G48,  adjoining  the  Fiscataqua  River,  nearly 
opposite  the  boundary  line  between  Portsmouth  and  Newington.  What 
becaj-ne  of  her  and  her  children  after  October,  1656,  when  they  were  living 
in  Kittery.  is  not  known,  but  the  name  "Mary  ]5acheIIor's  highway"  is 
given  as  the  northwest  boundary  of  a  lot  at  Kit'tery  conveyed  by  William 
Hilton  of  Exeter  to  his  son,  Richard,  May  4,  1684.* 

On  the  14th  of  October  1G51  In  answer  to  the  petition  of  Richard 
Swayne,  Wm  Swayne  and  others  of  the  towne  of  Hampton,  itt  is  ordered, 
that  whatsoever  goods  or  lands  have  binn  taken  away  by  Edward  Colcord 
or  Joha^  Samborn,  upon  pretence  of  being  authorized  by  Mr.  Batchelor, 
either  with  or  without  execution,  shall  be  retourned  to  them  from  whom  it 
was  taken  and  the  execution  to  be  called  in,  and  no  more  to  be  grauuted 
untill  there  appear  sufficient  power  from  Mr.  Batchelor  to  recover  The  same 
to  Uie  County  Court  either  of  Salisbury  or  Hampton.t 

That  is,  in  1645  the  General  Court  refers  him  to  the  courts  ut  Salem  or 
Ipswich  for  relief  in  some  matter  about  which  he  had  petitioned  them, 
apparently _  concerning  his  claim  on  Hampton  for  services.  In  1647  he 
brought  suit  in  a  court  of  like  jurisdiction,  at  Salisbury,  recovers  judgment, 
obtains  execution  and  attempts  to  levy,  not  on  the  town,  but  on  private 
property.  Naturally  he  levied  on  the  property  of  his  well-to-do  opponents 
and  as  naturally  they  objected  to  paying  the  town's  debts.  Justice  required 
an  order  that  the  town  of  Hampton  should  raise  the  amount  of  the  execu- 
tions in  their  next  tax  levy,  as  the  statute  allowing  persons  having  execu- 
tions against  towns,  which  they  cannot  collect,  to  levy  on  private  property, 
was  not  then  enacted.  Instead  of  such  order  to  levy  a  tax  and  pay  the 
executions  he  was  ordered  to  retry  his  case  in  court.  Hampton  was  then 
a  rich  and  prosperous  town,  and  up  to  1700  paid  a  larger  share  of  the 
Province  tax  than  any  other  town  in  Xew  Hampshire.]: 

At  length,  wearied  with  the  unsuccessful  conflict  and  the  constant  dis- 
appointment of  his  expectations,  heart-sick  with  the  failure  of  all  his  plans 
for  a  quiet  rest  for  his  old  age  in  that  "land  of  righteousness,"  wh-'ch,  he 
says,  "our  New  England  is."  he  decided  to  return  to  England. 

Harried  and  persecuted  by  the  vindictiveness  of  the  birhops  of  England 
formore  than  a  quarter  of  a  century,  he  came  hither  to  escape  their  perse- 
cution. He  found,  not  the  peace  he  sought,  but  a  contiict  more  bitter  and 
persistent  than  ever  he  had  experienced  in  England.  Persecution  here 
was  unhampei-ed  by  any  laws  or  limitations.  Appeal  was  in  vain.  A  few 
attempts  were  made  to  review  unlawful  acts  of  the  colonies  in  England,  but 
the  delays  were  interminable,  the  process  costly  and  the  results  unsatisfac-

tory.  His  matrimonial  difficulties  also  led  him  to  return  to  England.  His 
petition  for  divorce  seems  not  to  have  been  granted,  and  we  know  of  no 
modification  of  the  order  that  he  should  continue  to  live  with  his  adulterous 
wife.  How  could  he  escape  that  wicked  woman  except  by  placing  the 
ocean  between  himself  and  her? 

Another  strong  reason  for  his  journey  home  is  found  in  the  changed 
state  of  political  offairs  there.  The  kingdom  no  longer  existed.  Charles 
I.  and  Stratford  had  been  beheaded.  Episcopacy  as  a  staf.e  religion  had 
been  abolished.  Edgehill,  Marston  Moor,  Naseby  and  Worcester  had 
been  fought.  The  Commonwealth  had  been  established.  Oliver  Cromwell 
had  just  become  Lord  Protector.  No  wonder  the  aged  minister  longed  to 
look  upon  England  under  these  changed  conditions.  It  has  been  said  that 
he  was  a  friend  of  Cromwell.  Whether  true  or  not,  his  friends  were  now 
at  the  head  of  affairs  in  England  and  his  enemies  had  been  signally  de- 
feated. Most  of  his  relatives  had  been  left  behind  when  he  came  to 
America.  Many  of  his  intimate  friends  here  had  already  gone  back.  He 
was  poor  in  worldly  goods.  He  had  met  with  severe  loss  in  the  failure  of 
the  Company  of  Husbandmen.  He  had  received  no  pay  from  the  Hamp- 
ton Church,  except  grants  of  land.  His  house,  books,  and  "near  all  his 
substance"  to  the  value  of  £200  had  been  burned  at  Hampton  in  1641. 
His  expenses  in  furthering  the  Hampton  plantation  were  large.  He  gave 
all  his  property  in  Hampton  to  his  grandchildren  in  1647.  He  had  only 
the  amount  received  for  his  farm,  which  must  have  been  greatly  dimin- 
ished by  his  expensive  removals,  his  support  at  Portsmouth  and  his  fare  to 
England,  unless  he  had  saved  some  portion  of  the  money  received  for  his 
Newbury  estate,  which  is  not  likely,  as  Wiuthrop  calls  him  poor  in  1637, 
when  he  went  to  Yarmouth.  Anywhere  from  1650  to  1656  has  been 
assigned  as  the  date  of  his  return  to  England.* 

The  earlier  date  is  apparently  due  to  the  inaccurate  statement  of  his 
faithless  wife  in  1656,  that  he  had  "  transported  himself  unto  ould  England 
for  many  years  since,"  and  the  fact  that  nothing  is  known  with  certainty 
about  his  residence  here  after  1650.  We  have  only  one  means  of  determin- 
ing the  latest  time  when  he  was  certainly  in  this  country.  If  his  grandson, 
Stephen  Samborn,  returned  to  England  with  Mr.  Bachiler,  as  has  always 
been  believed,  we  can  tell  something  about  the  time  of  his  departure.  In 
the  Norfolk  County  Records  at  Salem,  ^lass.,  among  Hampton,  N.  H. 
births,  is  found,  Dorethia,  the  daughter  of  Stephen  Samborn  and  Sarah, 
his  wife,  on  the  2'^  of  the  1^'  month  1653.  As  less  than  three  years  absence 
ia  about  as  short  a  time  as  one  would  dare  to  call  "  many  years  since,"  it  is 
most  probable  that  Mr.  Bachiler  went  back  in  1654,  perhaps  early  in  the 
summer,  when  pleasant  weather  might  be  expected  on  the  ocean. 

From  what  port  he  sailed  and  where  he  landed  are  unknown.  We  know 
only  that  a  vagrant  tradition  represents  him  as  walking  in  London  with 
one  of  his  sons  after  his  return,  and  that  it  was  almost  impossible  to  de- 
termine which  of  the  two  was  the  elder.  The  probability  of  the  tradition 
detracts  strongly  from  its  credit  as  actual  history.  The  abandoned  woman, 
left  here,  as  if  anxious  to  do  her  husband  all  the  wrong  in  her  power,  de- 
clared in  1656  that  she  had  been  credibly  informed  that  he  had  married  a 
fourth  wife  in  England.  No  other  evidence  than  her  worthless  and  un- 
supported word  exists  to  support  this  charge,  and  even  if  her  statement  be

true   her  information  may  have  been  utterly  untrustworthy.     It  was  mere 
hearsay  at  best.     No  marriage  license  has  yet  been  discovered. 

In  October,  1856,  Mary  Bachiler  petitioned  the  General  Court  at  Boston 
for  leave  to  marry,  notwithstanding  her  marriage  to  Mr.  Bachder,  setting 
forth  the  necessities  of  herself  and  her  two  sick  children.*  This  petition 
for  divorce  was  referred  to  the  next  County  Court  at  York  for  examina- 
tion to  report  to  the  next  court  of  Assistants.!-  It  is  a  sad  story  exhibited 
by  the  court  records  concerning  3Iary  Bachiler,  and  all  will  aaree  that  her 
punishment  was  severe,  being  visited  even  upon  her  children.'^  Of  his  life 
in  England  after  his  return  we  know  nothing;  very  likely  he  lived  at  Hack- 
ney, where  he  died,  as  that  pleasant  suburb,  now  a' part  of  the  great 
metropolis,  was  a  comfortable  residence  for  retired  ministers. 

The  last  entry  concerning  Mr.  Bachiler  is  as  follows :  "  The  ancient 
Stephen  Bachilor  of  Hampton  N.  H.  died  at  Hackney,  a  A'illa^e  &  Parish 
in  Middlesex,  2  miles  from  London  in  1G60  in  the  lOu"'  year  of  his  age."| 
_  Thus,  with  the  Commonwealth,  passed  away  his  life.  It  had°been 
singularly  stormy  and  contentious.  "What  was  his'character?  He  must  have 
had  rare  physical  as  well  as  intellectual  vigor.  From  tradition  and  the  char- 
acteristics of  his  descendants  it  is  probable  that  he  was  tall  and  sinewy,  with 
prominent  features,  especially  the  nose,  a  very  dark  complexion,"' black, 
coarse  hair  in  early  days,  white  in  age,  mouth  large  and  h'lm,  eyes  black  as 
sloes,  features  long  rather  than  broad,  a  strong  cfear  voice,  rather  slow  of 
motion  and  speech,  simple  in  dress,  v»-earing  in  Lynn  a  suit  of  liste  which 
he  brought  from  England,  obstinate  and'tenacious  of  his  opinions  to  a 
marked  degree,  a  powerful  preacher,  drawing  largely  from  the  scripture 
and  impressing  his  hearers  with  the  uncommon  power  and  sanctity  of  his 
sermons,  strong  in  his  friendships  and  his  hates. 

Winthrop  classed  him  among  '-honest  men  "  when  he  arrived  in  1632, 
and  Prince,  in  his  Annals  of  New  England,  Appendix  to  1G32,  says 
("From  Gov.  Winslow  and  Capt  Johnson  we  learn,  That)  He  (Stephen 
Bachiler)  was  an  ancient  minister  in  England:  had  been  a  Man  of  Fame 
in  his  Day:  was  71  years  of  Age  when  he  came  over:  bro't  a  number  of 
People  with  him:  and  soon  became  the  l"  feeder  of  the  Flock  of  Christ 
at  Lynn  (And  by  several  Letters  I  have  seen  of  his  own  Writing  to  the 
R.  Mr.^  Cotton  of  Boston,  I  find  he  was  a  Gentleman  of  Learmno-  and 
Ingenuity,  and  wrote  a  fine  and  curious  hand.")  "^ 

Freeman,  in  his  History  of  Cape  Cod,  3avs.§  "  Of  Mr.  Batchelor  much 
has  been  gratuitously  written  to  his  disparagement.  From  all  that  we 
gather  from  his  contemporaries,  we  infer  that  he  was  learned,  and,  in  the 
judgment  of  charity  a  good  man;  but  that  his  whole  life,  extending  through 
nearly  a  century  of  years,  was  singularly  pregnant  with  incidents'  of  trial. 
These  were  not  chiefly  the  result  of  ejectment  for  non-conformity.  Mr. 
Batchelor's  greatest  trials  were  from  quite  another  source :  and  it  is  sur- 
prising how  far  reaching  were  early  attempts  to  frame  excuses  for  harassing 
with  penalties  and  pursuing  with  vindictiveness  those  who  fell  under  ••  sus° 
picion."  It  is  equally  notable  how  ready  are  some  at  the  present  day  to 
catch  the  strain  and  labor  to  justify  the  detraction  even  bv  doubtful  tradi- 
tionaUiroumsiances  developed,  whether  with  or  without  foundation,  ex  post 
facts."     Those  interested  in  heraldry  can  see  a  description  of  his  coat  of

arms  in  Morgan's  Sphere  of  the  Gentry,  printed  in  1661.  It  consists  of  a 
plough,  beneath  which  is  a  rising  sun.  In  the  technical  language  of  heraldry 
it  is,  •'  vert  a  plough  in  Jesse  and  in  base  t/te  su?i  rising  or."  The  author 
calls  it  the  coat  of  *•  Cain.  Adam's  son,"  without  apparently  meaning  more 
than  that  it  denoted  a  husbandman  or  tiller  of  the  soil,  as  Cain  was.  He 
says  it  did  appertain  to  Stephen  Bachelor  the  first  pastor  of  the  church  of 
Ligonia,  in  New  England :  which  bearing  was  answerable  to  his  profession 
in  plowing  up  the  fallow  ground  of  their  hearts,  and  ihe  sun  appearing  in 
that  part  of  the  world  alluded  to  his  motto  *■•  sol  justitice  exoritur."  We 
may  guess  that  he  received  this  coat  of  arms  when  he  was  called  as  pastor 
of  the  Plough  company  about  1629  or  1630,  probably  because  of  his  zeal 
in  forwarding  the  interests  of  that  company.  Morgan  seems  to  have 
known  him  only  by  his  connection  with  the  Plough  colony  at  Ligonia,  now 
Cape  Elizabeth,  Maine. 

The  names  of  four  children  of  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  are  known  with 
certainty.  Deborah,  born  in  1592,  child  of  his  first  wife;  Stephen,  born  in 
1594,  son  of  the  first  wife;  Ann,  born  in  1601,  probably  of  the  first  wife; 
and  Theodate.  who  died  October  20,  1649,  at  Hampton,  N.  H.  That 
Nathaniel  Bachiler,  senior,  of  Hampton,  was  the  grandson  and  not  the  son 
of  our  Rev.  Stephen  Bachiler  is  proved  beyond  question  by  Rev.  Stephen's 
deed  to  his  four  grandchildren  in  1647,  before  cited,  in  which  Nathaniel 
Bachiler  is  called  his  grandson.  This  cannot  by  any  possibilitv  refer  to 
Nathaniel  Bacliiler,  junior,  for  he  was  not  born  until  eleven  years  after  the 
deed  was  made.  And  yet  the  statement  that  Nathaniel  Bachiler,  senior, 
•was  a  son  of  Rev.  Stephen,  may  be  strictly  correct.  If  the  younger 
Stephen,  son  of  the  emigrant  Stephen,  entered  the  ministry  after  leaving 
Magdalen  College,  Oxford,  as  is  quite  probable,  and  died  about  1630,  the 
confusion  wouhi  easily  arise.  To  conjecture  is  dangerous,  but  the  assump- 
tion so  well  explains  the  confusion  that  it  is  worth  stating  in  the  hope  that 
it  may  be  speedily  disproved,  if  untrue.  If  it  should  hereafter  be  confirmed, 
it  will  probably  be  found  that  the  Stephen  Bachiler  who  witnessed  the  will 
of  Edmund  Alleyn  of  Hattield  Pevereil,  Essex,  February  19,  1615,  was 
the  younger  of  that  name.  Francis  and  Stephen  Bachiler  of  London  in 
1G85,  were  brothers  of  Nathaniel,  and  therefore  grandchildren  of  our  Rev. 
Stephen. 

Whoever  considers  that  Bachiler's  life  was  wasted,  because  neither  riches 
nor  temporal  honors  were  obtained  by  him,  knows  little  of  the  manner  in 
which  reforms  are  accomplished.  One  thing  for  which  he  bitterly  con- 
tended is  universally  conceded,  and  people  wonder  that  it  was  ever  dis- 
puted. The  separation  of  church  and  state  is  recognized  as  unquestionably 
right  by  all  his  opponents,  and  his  firm  stand  in  behalf  of  the  liberty  of 
New  Hampshire  loses  nothing  because  it  was  unsuccessful.  Success  would 
have  left  in  doubt  his  firmness  in  standing  out,  when  the  consequences  were 
certain  to  be  his  practical  destruction  and  utter  ruin.  We  know  now  that 
he  had  that  firmness  which  rendered  him  utterly  regardless  of  consequences 
to  himself,  when  conscious  that  his  motives  and  judgment  were  right.

PEDIGREE  OF  DENISON. 

Commanicated  by  J.  L.  Glascock,  Jr.,  Esq.,  of  Bishop's  Stortford,  Hertfordshire,  England.

Commanicated  by  Capt.  Charles  Hehtf.t  Townshexd,  of  New  Haven,  Conn. 

The  following  document^?,  the  "Indian  Treaty"  and  the  "Fenwick

in  London,  was  printed  for  the  first  time  iiT  this  country  by  me  in 
the  New  Haven  Courier,  March  2,  1892.  The  copy  of  the  Indian

of  it  extant  printed  in  a  rare  book  many  years  ago  in  this  country 
which  I  have  never  seen.  Drake  gives  an  abstract  of  it,  but  leaves 
out  much  that  interests. 

The  Hartford  treaty,  signed  Sept.  21,  1638,  by  Jo.  Haines,  Roger 
Ludlow  and  Edward  Hopkins  for  tiie  settlers,  and  Miantinoma, 
chief  of  the  Narraganset,  and  Uncus,  chief  of  the  Mohegins,  who 
signed  for  their  tribes.  It  preceded  the  Quinipiac  treaty,  which  was 
signed  by  Theophilus  Eaton  and  John  Davenport  for  the  New 
Haven  settlers,  sixtv-four  days  later — the  latter  having  been  signed 
Nov.  24,  1638.     It  is  as  follows  : 

The  Indian  Treaty. 

Brit.  Mus.  "  Covenant  and  agreement  made  betv^eeen  the  English 

Lansd.  MS.  10o2.  inhabitants  within  the  jurisdiction  for  ye  River  Connecti- 
cut of  ye  one  part  and  Miantinome,  the  chief  sachem  of 
ye  Narreganset,  in  ye  behalf  of  himself  and  the  other 
the  sachems  there.  And  Poquaum  or  Unkas,  the  chief 
sachem  of  ye  Indians,  called  the  Monhegins,  in  the 
behalf  of  himself  and  others,  ye  sachems  under  him  as 
forthwith." 

"At  Hartford,  the  21,  Sept.,  1638." 
"  First  Imps. — There  is  a  peace  and   familiarity  made  between  the  said 
Miantonome  and  Narragansett  Indians,  and  the  said  Poquaum  and  ye  said 
Mouhegan  Indians,  and  all  former  injuries  and  wrongs  otfered  each  to  other 
remitted  and  buried  and  never  to  revive  any  more  from  henceforth." 

Second — "  It  is  agreed  if  there  fall  out  injuries  or  wrongs  for  future  to 
be  done  or  committed  each  to  other  or  their  mess  they  shall  not  presently 
revenge  it,  but  they  are  to  appeale  to  ye  said  English  and  they  are  to  decide 
the  same  and  the  determination  of  the  English  to  stand  and  they  are  each 
to  doe  as  is  by  the  said  English  set  downe  and  if  the  one  or  the  other  shall 
refuse  soe  to  doe  it  shall  be  lawfull  for  the  English  to  compell  them  and  to 
rise  and  take  part  if  they  see  cause  agaynst  ye  obstinate  or  refusing  party." 
Third — "  It  is  agreed  that  they  shall  not  enter  into  one  or  others  bounds 
or  countrees  without  consent  either  to  hunt  or  fish  or  ye  like  neither  shall 
steale  or  take  away  one  or  the  others  corne  nor  rob  nor  steal  one  from 
ai  other  either  skins  wampum  beaver  or  ye  like  or  burn  or  spoil  one  or  the 
ot  lers  wigwams. 

Fourth — "  If  there  is  a  conclusion  of  peace  and  friendship  made  between 
the  said  Miantonimo  and  ye  said  Narragunsetts,  and  the  said  Poquaum  and 
ye  said  Mohegins,  as  long  as  they  carry  themselves  and  give  nee  iust  cause 
of  offence,  and  that  they,  nor  either  of  them,  doe  shelter  any  that  may  be 
enemies  to  ye  English  that  shall,  or  formerly  have  had  hand  in  murthering 
or  killing  any  English  man  or  woman,  or  consented  thereto. 

Fifth — "  That  they,  nor  either  of  them,  nor  their  men,  nor  doggs,  nor 
trapps,  shall  kill  nor  spoile  or  hurt  any  of  Englishmeu's  hoggs,  swine  or 
cattle,  and  if  any  of  the  Englishmen's  cattle  shall  stray  in  their  or  either 
counties,  and  they  come  to  know  thereof,  they  shall  not  kil  nor  spoil  them, 
but  shall  speedily  give  notice  thereof  to  ye  English  or  else  bring  them  to  the 
English,  and  the  English  shall  give  thera  recompense  for  their  paines. 

It  is  agreed  that  if  they  or  either  of  them  shall  know  or  heat'  of  any  evil 
or  mischief  intended  against  the  English  they  shal  duelie  give  notice  thereof

has  done,  for  4£  los.  The  countrie  pay  I  shall  take  upon  myself  and 
order  i^  to  be  payed  to  you  by  Sir  Arthur.  There  is  nothinge  beside  this 
that  I  can  heare  of  in  thes  partes  except  the  adventure  your  brother  had  in 
this  place  where  I  now  live,  which  I  mention  that  you  may  understand  how 
that  business  stands,  before  my  comiiige  over,  all  that  was  disbursed  iu  that 
adventure  was  spent  to  £100  att  my  arrivall  heare  I  found  divers  debts  to 
pay,  in  the  payment  of  which  and  the  repairs  of  the  houses  to  make  them 
but  fitt  to  live  in  and  other  expenses  necessarie  to  the  upholdincr  of  the 
place,  and  wch  in  another  place  I  should  not  have  been  putt  to  (I  speake 
wch  in  compas.  I  have  spent  17  or  1800£,  nay  occasionall}-  my  charge  hath 
been  much  higher.  I  reckon  not  into  this  any  part  of  my  first  adventure 
but  account  it  sunk,  neither  that  losse  wch  the  fall  of  things  heare  hath 
brought  upon  every  one  and  wch  would  have  fallen  upon  me  where 
ever  I  had  bene  but  only  that  the  1st  sendiugs  of  this  place  did  neces- 
sarily require,  and  wch  hath  lost  double  the  some  in  lik  tyme  formerly. 
I  writ  not  this  to  require  any  ayd  from  any,  because  what  I  have  done, 
was  out  of  hopes  to  image  such  friendes  as  had  once  purposes  the 
way,  some  after  my  coming  over,  nor  did  I  think  to  have  bene  soe  longe 
alone  but  providence  hath  ordered  it  otherwise  than  I  expected  but 
chiefly  I  have  said  this  much  in  this  bussines  to  cleare  my  self  to  you, 
that  you  have  noe  account  of  it,  nor  can  soe  well  judge  what  it  is  to  laye  ye 
foundation  of  plantations  as  those  that  have  had  some  hand  in  them;  I  am 
glad  you  have  putt  your  bussines  in  the  Bay  in  another  hand  for  I  could  not 
possibly  have  had  leasure  to  have  attended  it.  The  most  part  of  that  I  had 
in  that  adventure  wherein  your  brother  had  a  share  lyes  there,  and  1  cannot 
gett  to  look  after  it.  Robert  Thompson,  ^Nlr.  Maurice  Thompson's  brother, 
is  to  give  you  an  account  of  what  concernes  that  bussines,  &c.  I  remember 
your  brother  payed  in  2  or  SOOtb,  as  I  think  to  3Ir.  Maurice  Thompson 
towards  it  before  I  left  England,  but  I  doubt  we  shall  all  prove  loosers  and 
stay  longe  for  our  money.  The  malt  you  mentioned  over  the  serenes  never 
came  to  my  hand.  I  had  indeed  2  years  agoe  20  qtes  of  malt  sent  over  for 
my  owne  use,  but  I  tind  by  Sr.  Arthur  Hesilrig's  brother's  account  that 
there  vvas  £25  payed  for  it,  soe  that  either  that  you  find  in  your  brother's 
notes  was  part  of  it  and  he  payed,  or  else  there  is  some  mistake,  for  I  never 
had  any  other  malt  but  that.  It  may  be  Sir  Arthur  can  give  you  further 
light,  thus  having,  as  far  as  T  can,  answered  your  commands  and  my  deuty 
to  deceased  dear  friend.  I  shall  not  presume  to  be  any  farther  troublesome. 
If  there  be  anything  wherein  I  may  furtlier  serve  his  wife  and  children,  I 
hope  I  shall  approve  my  selfe  to  them  what  I  am  assured  I  should  have 
found  him.  If  the  Lord  had  soe  cast  it  that  I  had  stoo<l  in  need  ot"  him,  I 
hardly  know  a  friend  I  should  sooner  have  trusted,  present  my  reall  and 
affectionat  service  to  the  mother  and  her  like  ones,  and  wherein  I  may  serve 
you  or  them  command

"  Much  honoured  friend. 

I  received  your  letter  last  Summer  and  returned  you  an  answer  by 
the  first  conveyaiiCe  after  but  lest  that  should  miscarry  being  now  occasion- 
ally at  Boston  from  whence  the  conveyance  is  more  sure  I  thought  good 
again  to  signify  to  you  that  I  wrott.  I  did  then  order  you  to  receive  of  Sir 
Arther  Hesilrig  £5  which  was  delivered  me  by  Mr.  Hooker,  for  a  servant 
was  sent  to  him  by  your  brother  &  which  I  appointed  two  years  agoe  to  be 
payed  to  you;  as  also  £4,  15s  for  a  heifer  which  was  in  Goodman  Scotts 
and  the  residue  of  those  things  were  sent  over  with  my  man,  that  were  in 
my  hand,  I  did  then  omitt  which  came  to  mind;  but  yet  I  have  not  had 
account  of  these  8  pair  of  the  finest  womens  stockings  which  I  think  was 
prised  att  4  or  5  shillings  and  six  pence  ye  pair.  The  inventorey  I  sent 
you  will  show  which  they  were.  They  were  delivered  to  one  in  New 
haven  to  sell  (there  being  none  but  servants  where  I  am  besides  my  own 
familee)  and  they  were  too  fine  to  putt  of  there.  When  I  shall  receive 
account  of  them  I  shall  either  return  it  to  yourself  or  deliver  it  to  Mr  Shep- 
heard. 

As  to  the  serenes  and  malt  you  wrott  of  there  had  not  then  nor  hath 
there  been  since  any  serenes  come  to  my  hand.  Twenty  quarters  of  malt 
I  had  sent  over,  the  next  summer  I  think  three  years  but  in  an  account 
Mr  Thomas  Hesilerig,  Sir  Arthurs  brother,  to  whom  I  refer  you  it  was  putt 
in  as  payed  for.  I  had  no  other  malt  either  before  or  since  this  being  all  I 
can  certifie  concerning  this  occasions,  I  will  trouble  you  noe  further  but 
Commending  to  his  grace  who  is  able  keep  you  safe  and  blameless  in  the 
worst  and  most  dangerous  times  rest.  I  pray  present  my  services  to  8  (sj'c) 
in  any  service  to  yours  sister  (sic)  I  can  perform  for  you. 

may  24  1643.  George  Fenwick.

The  following  is  added  after  the  signature : 

"  I  had  forgot  the  Irish  adventure  which  is  wholly  in  Mr  Maurice  Thomp- 
sons hand.  Maurice  was  the  merchant  that  ordered  all  and  sent  over  what 
he  thought  fit  to  his  brother  Robert  and  he  sold  and  received  all  I  never 
received  or  meddled  with  any  of  your  part,  nor  have  I  yet  half  my  owne, 
that  which  remains  here  of  is  so  far  as  I  understand  some  £600  and  more 
in  debts  some  of  which  are  dispersed  and  other  will  only  be  paid  in  pipe- 
staves  and  plank.  The  debts  are  left  with  Captain  Gibbons  of  Boston  who 
as  he  receives  them  will  return  them  to  Mr  Thompson. 

I  have  no  skill  of  merchants  but  I  am  senseble  of  the  loss  we  shall  sus- 
tain in  that  adventure  it  lies  not  in  my  power  or  skill  to  help  it."

Cp*  Bane, 

You  must  acquaint  Sacharistis  &  the  other  Indian  That  at  the  desire 
of  Sackamaten  (as  well  as  their  own)  &  allso  in  Minots  motion  I  permit 
them  to  visit  their  Friends  and  Families  Upon  their  Promise  to  return 
again,  punctually  in  Fifty  Days:  That  Sackamacten  has  much  recommended 
him  self  to  me  by  his  Honesty  &  Faithfulness  And  therefore  I  shall  alwaies 
treat  him  well,  as  I  shall  them  If  they  prove  them  selves  as  faithful  as  he 
has  done. 

That  Sackamacten  has  inform'd  me  That  the  Indians  are  desirous  of 
Peace.  If  they  find  it  so,  when  they  come  among  them  And  any  of  the 
Chiefs  are  disposed  to  come  in  to  treat,  they,  may  bring  them  in  upon  their 
Return,  &  the  Chiefs  shall  be  well  received  &  dismiss'd  with  Safety;  That 
We  shall  be  very  ready  to  receive  their  Submission  &  let  them  live  in 
Peace  if  they  are  desirous  of  it,  Altho'  God  has  given  us  great  Success 
agains^t  them  of  late,  And  our  Soldiers  are  now  so  well  trained  &  used  to 
the  War  &  have  so  good  a  Knowledge  of  the  Indian  Couutrey  That  We 

in  Roxhnry,  Aug.  12,  1722,  died  yoang;  Mary,  bom  in  Boston,  May  11,  1724,  married 
Nath;iniel  Loriiig. 

Thomas,  the  father,  purchased  of  Thomas  "Watkins,  May  8,  1669,  "  a  tract  of  land  two 
miles  long  and  one  mile  hruati,  on  the  left  or  north  bank  of  the  Pejepscot  River,"  "in  whac 
is  now  the  town  of  Topsham,"  and  there  built  him  a  house.  Alter  his  return  from  En?- 
land  in  1675  or  1676,  he  found  the  trouble  with  the  Ea.^tern  Indians  had  commenctd.  He 
settled  at  Pcmaquid,  and  when  that  territorv  was  converted  into  a  judicial  di-^trict,  Mr. 
Gyles  was  made  Chief  Justice.  He  was  slain  by  the  Indians,  Aug.  2,  1689.  The  widow 
and  four  children,  two  sons  and  two  daughters,  were  carried  into  captivity  by  the  savages. 
The  two  boys,  James  and  Joiin,  having  iieen  separated  from  the  rest  of' the  familv,  were 
taken  up  the  Penobscot  to  ilie  St.  John  river.  John  was  made  a  slave  to  the  Indians,  con- 
tinuing in  captivity  with  them  about  ?ix  vears,  when  he  was  sold  to  a  Frenchman,  who 
resided  in  what  is  now  the  Province  of  New  Brunswick.  James  was  "  tortured  to  death  by 
the  Indians,  1692,  a.  17."  John  remained  with  his  French  master  until  his  release,  reach- 
ing Boston,  June  19,  1608.  The  Narrative  of  his  "Captivity"  may  be  found  entire,  in 
Drake's  •' Indian  Captivities,  oc  Life  in  the  Wigwam,"  pa?e  73-10.5,  entitled,  "Memoirs 
of  odd  Adventures,  Srrange  Deliverances,  etc.  in  the  Captivity  of  John  Gvles,  Esq.,  com- 
mander ot  the  Garrison  cm  St.  Gcorse  River,  in  the  District  of  Maine.  Wri'iten  by  himself. 
Originally  publi-.tied  at  Boston,  1736." 

An  appendi.x  contains  minutes  of  the  various  employments  of  John  Gvles,  from  June 
28,  1698  until  Nov.  28,  1728.  He  was  first  employed  as'interpreter  by  Lt.  Gov.  Stouchtrm, 
Nov.  14th  of  the  former  year;  hail  a  Captain's  cotnmi>sion  in  1706;  was  sub-equentiv  dis- 
missed the  service;  commi-sion  renewed  in  1709;  in  Aujrust,  1715,  received  orders  to'build 
a  fort  at  Pejepscot,  now  Brunswick,  Me. ;  was  dismissed  from  fort  George,  Dec.  12,  1725; 
and  Capt.  \Vood>ide  received  a  commi-sion  for  the  command  of  the  place.  The  next  day, 
Mr.  G>les  was  (ommissioned  for  the  Garri-on  at  St.  Georse  river.  Tlieie  were  po-ts  tsnd 
positions  tilled  by  Capt.  Gyle-  other  than  those  above  enumerated.  "I  have  had  ;lie 
honor,"  he  says,  "to serve  tliis  province  under  eiirht  commamlers  in  chief,  governors,  and 
lieatennnt  governors,  from  the  year  1G98  to  tlie  year  17;J6."  He  died  in  Roxljury.  Mass.  in 
1755.  aged  77  years.  See  "  The  Giles  Memorial'"  by  Rev.  John  A.  Vinton,  pages  100-129  ;

doubt  not  but  that  by  the  Help  of  God  we  shall  force  them  to  submit.  If 
they  continue  obstinate.  But  We  don't  delight  in  War,  any  otherwise  than 
as  the  Injuries  tliey  have  done  us  make  it  necessary. 

That  if  the  Indians  have  any  Distrust  of  being  sate  in  Coming  in  Because 
of  our  March  to  Penobscot  &  Cpt.  Heaths  Burning  the  Houses  They  make 
a  wrong  Judgment  of  y^  matter  For  I  shall  alwaies  push  on  the  War  with 
Vigour  &  do  all  I  can  to  distress  the  Enemy  till  their  Chiefs  come  in  with 
offers  of  Peace,  And  as  soon  as  ever  they  do  so,  I  will  Order  the  Forces 
not  to  march  into  their  Countrey;  they  must  not  expect  that  I  shall  at  all 
slacken  the  Prosecution  of  the  War  till  their  Chiefs  come  in.  And  that  is 
the  Method  of  all  wise  Governments,  but  when  they  Come  in  y®  name  of 
their  Tribe  &  express  their  sincere  desires  for  peace,  then  they  may  depend 
on  it,  Will  desist  from  all  further  Acts  of  Hostilities  &  give  orders  accord- 
ingly to  all  the  forces  every  where.

May  it  Please  your  hon' 

Having  formerly  tacken  some  minets  of  a  Conference  that  I  had  with 
twenty  of  the  Eastern  Indians  that  were  heads  of  those  Tribes,  my  buisiness 
allowing  me  a  Leasure  hour,  and  hearing  of  y^  many  misiryes  and  caliami- 
tyes  that  arrise  by  reason  of  this  unhappy  Warr  I  think  it  a  Duty  incumbant 
on  me  to  give  your  hon'  a  relation  of  it.  It  was  a  few  months  before  I  left 
that  part  of  y*  Countrey  that  if  your  Hon''  should  be  so  happy  as  to  have 
a  Treaty  with  them  some  things  might  be  Etfeckted  that  I  have  a  great 
Assurance  would  be  for  y*  promoting  &  Establishing  Lasting  peace;  and 
being  Assured  of  your  having  the  Publick  good  so  much  at  heart  &  my 
near  freindship  and  Intimacy  with  those  People  imboldens  me  to  write. 
One  morning  as  I  was  walking  in  y*  Town,  I  met  one  of  y^  Saggamores; 
he  tould  me  there  was  a  Comp*  of  Indians  that  desired  to  speake  with  me, 
when  I  came  to  them  I  found  the  number  before  mented  &  they  were  all 
elderly  men.  After  a  little  silence,  one  of  them  spake  to  me,  asking  if  I 
knew  them,  I  tould  them  I  knew  they  were  the  Leading  men  of  Panopscoat 
and  Nerigwalk,  they  tould  me  the  time  of  year  allow'd  them  to  meet  there, 
and  they  took  this  Oppertunity  to  talke  With  me  uppon  some  heads  which 
they  sayd  they  could  freely  Communicate  to  me,  tacking  me  for  their  friend, 
&  uppon  it  tould  me  they  were  very  much  wrong'd  &  Abus'd  in  many 
things,  and  sayd  if  there  were  not  some  speedy  methods  tacken  to  prevent 
these  abuses  and  to  performe  our  Promises  made  by  Coll.  Shute  and  the 
saggamores  that  were  at  that  Congress,  there  would  a  Warr  Acrue  in  a 
little  time,  and  as  I  was  there  and  heard  what  was  said,  desir'd  me  to  re- 
monstrate it  to  some  of  the  Governm'  how  they  were  agreiv'd,  and  farther 
added,  that  if  they  did  not  prove  their  cause  to  be  just  in  troubling  us  this 
time  they  would  desist,  and  that  it  only  wanted  their  Assent  and  y*  warr 
began,  but  farther  added,  that  they  were  old  men  and  warr  was  troublesome 
&  they  chus'd  peace  provided  the  English  would  come  into  just  methods 
with  them  and  perform  what  was  promis'd  at  that  Congress,  and  that  not- 
withstanding what  the  Jesuit  should  Excite  them   to,  it  would  have  no

influence  on  y™,  for  it  was  Interest  and  not  religion  that  obliged  them  to 
live  in  peace  &  friendship  with  any  People.  Uppon  which  I  tould  them,  I 
was  very  much  surpris'd  at  what  they  said,  and  that  there  now  speaking  of 
of  Warr  was  Contrary  to  what  they  had  often  tould  me  of  Living  in  peace 
as  Brothers  with  us,  and  that  it  was  agreable  to  their  former  treatment  of 
y*  English  in  breaking  their  many  truses  that  were  made  with  them  in 
Coll.  Dudleys  time  &,  w"^  other  Gentiu  that  had  the  Goverm'  of  the  pro- 
vinces. They  tould  me,  we  were  their  PLnemies  &  that  we  lookt  on  them 
as  ours.  &  Whenever  we  were  an  Anoyance  to  them,  as  we  were  now,  they 
made  Warr,  giving  me  many  Instances  of  our  Breach  of  Faith,  perticuhirly 
Cap'  Chub's  treating  with  them  on  the  sabath  day,  calling  som.e  of  y™ 
Together  (as  ho  said)  in  a  freindly  manner,  &,  at  the  same  time  drew 
Pistolls  and  shot  them  while  they  had  his  bread  betwene  their  teeth  ;  and 
another  time  of  hard  treatment  by  Coll.  Walton,  of  Cochecho,  which  your 
hon'^may  not  be  uuaquainted  with,  but  said  as  these  things  were  past,  they 
should  be  overlookt  on  boath  sides.  And  added,  that  we  could  not  have  a 
greater  manifestation  of  their  Intentions  for  a  Lasting  iriemlship  by  their 
paying  down  the  hundred  &  od  skins  for  to  Compensate  in  some  measure 
for  y^  damages  their  people  had  done,  when  they  might,  at  the  same  time, 
have  come  down  on  our  frontiers  and  made  the  same  depredations  that  they 
had  formerly  done.  And  further  said,  that  they  had  Concluded  on  those 
methods  which  the  Gov"^  chearfully  came  into,  &  unless  they  were  Etfeckted, 
the  peace  would  not  last.  I  askt  them  what  they  were,  they  tould  me  I 
could  not  so  soone  forget  what  was  said  there.  Asking  me  if  I  did  not  heare 
the  Gov''  promise  that  he  would  be  a  Constant  succor  and  help  to  them  and 
that  he  would  taike  caire  to  prevent  those  Abuses  that  were  Constantly 
impos'd  on  y™  by  the  Inhabitants  in  this  part  of  y^  Country,  and  that,  to 
prevent  those  abuses,  he  would  buil'd  them  a  Traiding  house  or  houses  and 
Appoint  some  just  men  to  Transackt  with  them,  that  should  doe  them  jus- 
tice, and  said  their  people  were  Constantly  made  Drunck  by  our  People 
selling  y™  rum,  and  all  the  Laws  and  Severe  Penaltyes  tlie  Province  could 
inflickt  would  never  prevent  it  without  th's  Trading  house,  and  that  the 
Killing  of  y^  Cattle  and  all  y*  Ditfirences  arose  from  our  letting  their  rude 
people  have  rum.  I  then  askt  y™  how  it  would  prevent  it,  though  I  was 
very  sensible  how  it  would  ;  they  tould  me  I  was  not  insensible  of  the  nature 
of  their  trade,  and  that  when  an  Indian  came  downe  with  a  quantity  of 
beavour  many  of  them  that  were  drinking  men  would  first  ask  for  a  skin, 
in  rum,  which  was  worth  7  or  8 /and  that  they  often  gave  for  one  quart 
which  is  3  of  p'  q'  notwithstanding  (sayes  they)  they  are  often  deny'd,  and 
your  people  tell  them  there  is  a  Law  of  our  own  Province  against  it,  and  you 
give  us  a  great  deale  of  uneasiness  by  breaking  open  on.-  Doary  ;  y°  this 
great  profit  on  the  rum  sometimes  will  not  prevaile,  but  here  is  a  Tempta- 
tion, sayes  they,  that  iew  or  none  of  you  will  withstand  ;  this  Indian  tell  you 
he  has  a  large  quantity  of  beavour,  and  he  nor  any  of  his  freinds  shall  deale 
with  you  unless  you  grant  this  request,  <k  the  Temptation  of  loosing  some- 
times ten  pounds  a  day,  whieh  I  have  known  some  Experience,  is  dificult 
to  resist;  &  if  the  Trading  house  under  sold  every  bodey  else,  no  bodey 
would  be  tempted  to  sell  them,  only  for  the  profit  they  get  on  y"'  Commodity, 
by  reason  they  give  the  people  so  great  uneasiness  after  they  are  drunk 
with  it.  Another,  of  y*  same  Community,  tould  me  he  had  lately  gave 
28 /bush'  for  Corn,  and  askt  me  if  I  were  not  a  witness  to  it.  I  tould 
them  I  was,  &  that  I  was  sorry  it  was  so.  They  tould  me  the  promises 
that  were  made  by  the  Gov"^  would  prevent  these  impositions.     Another,  of

y*  same  pumber,  toul<3  me,  that  a  few  Dayes  past  he  had  stole  from  him  at  a 
House,  up  the  River.  30  saple  skins  which  I  had  great  reason  to  beleive  was 
true,  He  tonld  me  Two  Witnesses  were  enough  in  our  Law  to  prove  any 
thing,  but  he  had  brought  three,  and  could  get  no  justice  done  him,  saying 
he  was  Unhappy  last  night  to  driuke  too  much  at  the  same  mans  house,  & 
that  it  was  a  villauous  thing  in  him,  after  he  had  got  away  a  great  deale  of 
his  substance  for  rum,  to  rob  him  of  great  part  of  what  was  left.  I  tould 
him  he  must  goe  to  the  Gov"'  to  Boston,  for  Justice.  He  tould  me  it  would 
cost  him  50  skins  to  goe  there,  and  that  it  was  a  great  hardship.  There 
was  no  bodey  appointed  here  to  doe  them  justice,  &  then  askt  me,  what 
Two  oxen  were  worth.  I  tould  him  it  was  a  wrong  way  to  do  himself 
justice;  he  tould  me  he  had  no  other  way.  &  in  a  few  dayes  I  heard  the 
man  had  lost  Two  oxen.  They  farther  added,  that  there  was  a  Trading 
house  Appointed  by  the  Governm'  formerly,  but  that  the  man  that  kept  it 
was  a  Rog".e,  &  made  the  yard  ^  to  short,  and  impos'd  on  y",  which  gaye 
many  of  them  a  Disgust  against  the  Goverum',  &  uppon  y^  Conclusion 
tould  me.  they  had  never  brouke  their  faith  with  the  french,  but  had 
alwayes  liv'd  in  peace  with  them,  and  that  it  was  their  kinde  treatment  of 
y""  induc'd  them  to  be  their  friends;  &  tould  me  that  when  once  their 
people  Experienced  that  we  were  a  Constant  Succor  to  y""  it  would  induce 
them  to  keep  a  lasting  friendship  with  us,  for,  sayes  they,  your  giving  us  a 
present  at  once  is  soon  forgot  by  our  young  men,  but  this  would  be  a  Con- 
stant Obligation  on  them  that  they  would  daily  see  their  dependauce  on  us. 
It's  my  humble  Oppinion,  that  some  methods  might  be  tacken  with  the 
Expence  of  about  £500-  p'  Annum,  that  would  keep  them  in  a  perpetual 
peace,  wliich  I  hope  your  Hon'  in  your  great  Wisdome  will  be  so  happy  as

this  Cocharara  found  The  Indians  fast  asleep,  went  around  em  feeleing  for 
a  hatchet,  at  length  found  one  with  whicli  he  Dispach' em  l)oath  &  has  bro' 
away  there  Scalps,  but  makes  the  Story  more  Manly,  this  Cocharam  lost 
one  of  his  S:alps  in  his  March  home  so  that  wen  he  came  to  Our  GarrisoQ 
he  got  three  men  more  of  his  mitide  and  went  up  to  the  place  w"^^  they 
Judge  Neer  forty  Miles  from  Mequoite,  and  there  found  the  Indians  as  he 
had  Saide.  So  the  Took  An  other  P'  of  his  Scalp  and  brings  with,  I  Sent 
them  Down  Yesterday  in  Order  to  get  a  passage  to  Boston,  where  I  hope 
You  will  See  him  this  Evening. 

It  was  a  Manly  Action  and  doubt  not  but  You  will  reward  Accordingly, 
but  in  these  cases  our  hands  are  Tied  up,  which  is  very  greaveious  to  me. 
I  think  Such  actions  should  be  bountifully  rewarded,  it  would  Animate  our 
Captives  and  put  em  upon  Desperate  attempts  which  would  Discourage  our 
Enemies.  The  Young  Man  Tells  me  that  our  Gentlemen  were  returning 
from  Cannada  and  that  no  peace. 

I  have  a  letter  from  Govern"^  Shute  who  Tells  me  his  three  Reports  Now 
lyes  before  a  Committee  of  Couucill,  and  all  reported  in  his  favour,  and  that 
he  has  the  Promiss  of  comeing  over  no  better  Circumstances  then  before.

Mass.  Arch.  72,  226,  227. 

*  This  name  is  incorrectly  printed  Leirs 
in  the  Register,  vol.  44,  page  2-5. 

[In  our  preliminary  notice  of  Col.  Thomas  "Westhrook  (Kegistek,  vol.  44,  pasre  23),  it 
was  remarked  that  the  Colonel  "was,  perhaps,  a  son  of  Thomas  Westbrook.  for  many 
years  a  memlier  of  the  State  Council  in  New  Hampshire,  who  died  in  the  year  1736."  The 
date  of  death  of  the  councillor  was  aiven  on  what  was  considered  j:ooil  authority. 

Belknap,  in  the  Anperdix  to  hi>  Historv  of  New  Hampshire,  v(d.  2,  pacre  372,  pnblished 
in  IS12,  has  a  list  of  New  Hampshire  Councillors.  He  srives  tlie  date  of  death  ot  Councillor 
Westbrook  as  1736.  John  Farmer,  in  his  revised  list  of  Councillors  of  the  above-mentioned 
State,  printed  in  the  Collections  of  the  New  Hampshire  Historical  Society,  vol.  o,  page  232, 
has  it  also,  1736. 

Allen,  in  hi-  Biographical  Dictionary,  says: — "Thomas  Westbrook,  one  of  the  Pejepscot 
proprietors  in  Maine,  died  Feb.  11,  1743^."  This  corresponds  with  Willis  (Hi>t.  Portland, 
Part2,  p.  39). 

A  correspondent  writes,  that  he  had  supposed  the  conncillor  and  the  colonel  one  and  the 
same  person.  On  an  examination  of  the  subject,  more  critically,  there  is  reason  to  think 
that  the  view  of  our  correspondent  may  be  correct.  We  are  encouraged  to  believe  the 
matter  will  be  investiirared,  and  the  result  triven  to  the  readers  of  the  Register. 

It  appears  by  the  Provincial  Papers  of  New  Hamp'iiire,  vol.  iv.,  pp.  769,  770,  that  Coun- 
cillor Westlirook  had  removed  to  Maine  as  early  as  170. 

"At  a  General  A—emMy  held  at  Portsm","  by  adjoumm'.  Wednesday  Dec.  2<i  1730. 
Present.  His  Exrclieney  .Jonathan  Behher  Esq^  GoV:  His  Honr  John  Wentworth  Esq. 
Li  Govr.,  siiad*  Walton," Rich"!  Wibird,  Jotharn  Odiorne,  Hen.  Sherburne  E-qi-=. 

His  Excellency  was  plea-ed  this  day  to  communicate  to  the  Bi'^rd  a  letter  trom  Thomas 
Westbrook  E?q.  shewing  lorrh  that  he,  the  said  Westbrook.  had  removed  h's  residence 
from  ih's  Province  inro  the  County  of  York  and  therefore  huniMy  praying  a  dismisjion 
from  the  Conned  in  s.dd  Province;  Wliich  hi-  Excellency  was  pleased  to  errant." 

Mr.  Sava:.'e  thi;iiglit  that  Job  and  John  ^^'estbrook,  cf  Porismonth.  were  perhaps  frora 
CO.  Stirry,  in  Enplaiid,  both  petitioners  for  Massachusetts  protertion  in  Feliruary,  1G90,  and 
that  John,  who  was  in  Portsmontb  in  166-5,  a  selectman  in  1697,  was  "probably  father  of 
that  colonel  Thomas,  who  in  the  expedition  of  1722  to  Kenneheck.  hoped  to  have  seized 
Father  Ra-h's  it  hw  mi-sion  of  Norndgewock."  Fiic-simile  of  signature,  as  aiHxed  to  a

ALSOP  AND  HARLAKENDEN. 

By  the  Hox,  Chaeles  C.  Baldwin,  LLD.,  of  ClcTeland,  Ohio. 

Alsop. 

The  Register  cannot  in  the  same  space  do  better  work  than 
that  of  Mr.  Waters,  or  such  as  that  of  Mr.  Appleton  in  the  July 
number  of  1891  (p.  187). 

Every  clue  to  English  connection  should  be  published  at  once  for 
the  use  of  others.  I  have  thought  for  twenty  years  that  Joseph 
Alsop  of  New  Haven  was  likely  from  Derbyshire  and  connected 
with  the  Alsopps  of  Allsop  in  the  Dale,  to  be  found  in  Glover's 
History  of  Derbyshire,  vol.  2,  p.  20.  But  he  does  not  seem  to  fit 
in  the  place  suggested  by  ^Ir.  Appleton. 

What  authenticity  there  may  be  in  the  long  line  published  by  ^Ir. 
Glover  in  1829  I  do  not  know.  His  list  of  Alsopps  of  the  time  of 
the  emigration  corresponds  well  with  Mr,  Waters's  memoranda  and 
with  the  clues  on  this  side  the  ocean.  For  comparison,  I  reprint, 
on  the  preceding  pages,  ~Slv.  Glover's  tablular  pedigree.  ^Ir. 
Waters,  in  the  Register  for  January,  1890,  page  92,  gives  the 
will  of  John  Alsopp,  gentleman,  dated  1643,  proved  1646.  He 
remembers  his  mother.  Temperance  Hopkines,  hia  eldest  brother 
Anthony  Alsopp  of  Alsopp  in  the  Dale,  his  two  brothers  and 
sister  now  living  in  New  England,  his  sister  Jane  Jackson,  wife  of 
Mr.  Roger  Jackson  of  Ashbourne  Derby,  his  grandmother  Mrs. 
Jane  Alsopp,  his  aunt  Mrs.  Dorothy  Hopkinson  of  Bonsall.  All 
these  appear  in  the  pedigree.  He  names  also  his  wife  Mary,  and  it 
is  likely  he  died  without  issue. 

I  suggest  that  the  two  brothers  and  sister  in  New  England  were 
the  Timothy,  George  and  Elizabeth  named  in  the  pedigree.  Timothy 
Alsop  is  mentioned  in  1  New  Haven  Col.  Rec,  p.  297,  as  a  witness 
in  a  Court  held  2d  of  February,  1646.  The  sister  Elizabeth  Alsop 
joined  the  church  in  ]Milford,  Conn.,  5th  February,  1642-3.  She 
married  Richard  Baldwin.  I  called  her  (p.  78  Baldwin  Genealogy) 
sister  of  Joseph  Alsop  of  New  Haven,  on  the  authority  of  a  late 
eminent  genealogist,  but  I  am  now  satisfied  that  a  guess  had  grown 
to  be  a  statement  of  fact.  She  named  her  first  daughter  after  her- 
self, her  second  after  her  husband's  mother,  and  her  third,  Temper- 
ance, after  her  own  mother  of  Derby,  England.  Her  husband  was 
very  prominent  in  the  settlement  at  Derby,  Conn.,  of  which  he  was 
"moderator"  with  large  powers  (See  New  Haven  Col.  Rec.  and 
Baldwin  Genealogy),  but  by  whom  the  name  Derby  was  first 
sucrgested  I  know  not.

1892.]  Alsop  and  Harlahenden.  369 

George  Alsop,  probably  her  brother,  and  mentioned  in  the  will, 
settled  in  Milford.  In  Xew  Haven  Prob.  Rec.  1679,  Nov.  12,  is 
an  invoice  of  his  estate,  deceased  (late  of  Milford),  and  Siivanus 
Baldwin,  a  near  kinsman  and  principal  creditor,  is  granted  adminis- 
tration on  what  of  his  estate  "was  here,"  i.e.  Milford.  Siivanus 
Baldwin  was  son  of  Elizabeth  (Alsop)  Baldwin. 

The  identity  of  tins  George  Alsop  with  the  one  of  the  pedigree 
and  of  the  will  still  more  ceitainly  appears,  by  a  curious  record, 
furnished  by  that  indefatigable  learned  gentleman,  Mr.  Nathan  G. 
Pond  of  Milford. 

George  Alsop  apparently  left  no  children  or  heirs  in  Milford,  but 
it  appears  by  the  New  Haven  Court  Record  of  1673,  July  1st,  if  all 
charged  was  true,  that  he  would  have  been  willing  to  have  married 
in  Milford  save  for  his  wife  Dorothy  Alsop,  resident  in  England 
with  her  two  children, — see  also  Glover's  pedigree  herewith. 

By  t-adition  George  Alsop  sheltered  the  regicides — see  Stiles'a 
Hist,  of  the  Judges,  p.  ^Q. 

Mr.  Pond  tells  me  he  has  often  driven  up  George's  Cellar  Hill, 
80  named  in  Stiles's  History.  A  very  aged  man  in  ^lilford  says 
that  George's  Cellar  was  sometimes  called  -'Judge's  Cell,"  and  the 
hiH"JudgVs  Cell  Hill." 

Joseph  Alsop  of  New  Haven  is  supposed  by  Mr.  Savage  to  be 
brother  of  Thomas  of  Stratford.  Both  came  in  the  Elizabeth  and 
Ann  in  1635,  Joseph  aged  l-l  and  Thomas  20.  Thomas  was  one 
of  the  first  settlers  in  Stratford,  where  he  died  1650-1,  leaving 
property  which  went  to  Joseph  Alsop  of  New  Haven.  (Orcutt's 
Stratford,  p.  129.) 

Joseph  Alsop's  name  appears  as  a  witness  in  the  same  suit  with 
Timothy  in  1616.  Joseph  and  Thomas  were  not  unlikely  to  be 
cousins  of  Timothy,  Elizabeth  and  George. 

Haelakenden. 

It  may  be  of  interest  that  the  name  of  Roger  Harlakenden  appears 
in  the  Admissions  to  Gray's  Inn,  p.  184. 

"1627-8  Mar.  6th,  Roger  Harlakenden,  second  son  of  Richard  H.  of 
Earls  Colue  Essex,  E^q."     The  first  son  appears  ou  p.  170. 

"1623  ^lay.  16,  Richard  Harlakenden,  son  and  heir  of  Richard  H.  of 
Earlscolne  Essex,  Esq." 

In  1619  appeared  Richard  the  son  of  the  one  of  1623  and  nephew  of 
Roger  the  emigrant.     On  page  81  appears. 

"1592  April  17,  Richard  Ilarlakeuden  of  Staple  Inn  son  and  heir  of 
Roger  Harkikeu'len  ol  Earl's  Colne  Essex  Esq." 

"April  17th,  Thomas  Harlakenden  of  Staple  Inn  second  son  of  said

370  The  King  Family  of  Suffield,  Conn.  [Oct. 


THE  KING  FAMILY  OF  SUFFIELD,  CONNECTICUT. 

Communicated  bv  Edmcxd  J.vses  Cletelaxd,  Esq.,  of  Hartford,  Conn. 

From  the  year  1634,  or  an  earlier  date,  immi^^rants  by  the  name 
of  King  have  continued  to  arrive  in  America  ;  a  large  numher,  evi- 
dently, in  addition  to  the  considerable  list  given  by  Savage,  and 
those  mentioned  in  the  foregoing  volumes  of  the  Register,  and  also 
in  other  publications. 

1.  William'  King  lived  in  Uxborough,  Devonshire,*  England;  a  fisher- 

man. While  on  his  last  voyage,  upon  his  business,  he  was  cast 
away  and  drowned  upon  the  banks  of  Newfoundland.  This  state- 
ment (made  in  1796  by  Alexander  King,  from  whose  genealogical 
notes  much  of  the  following  is  taken)  may  have  been  tradition,  for 
Savage  mentions:  William  King  of  the  Isle  of  Shoals  [New  Hamp- 
shire and  Maine,  inhabited  chiefly  by  fishermen],  died  May  28,  IGOi, 
leaving  William. 

William'  l^i"g'»  according  to  the  above  narrative,  had  two  sons, 
who  both  came  to  America: 

2.  i.      Ja-mes,^  of  Ipswich.  Mass.,  and  Suffield,  Conn.,  m.   1st,  Elizabeth 

Emerson;  2d,  widow  Hannali  Loornis. 
ii.     WrLLi.\M,  settled  in  one  of  the  southern  States;  of  him  there  is  no 
further  account. 

2.  James^  King  (  William^)  was  born  probably  in  England  (is  inferred 

from  the  above  account);  settled  in  Ipswich  prior  to  1672;  about 
1678  he  came  with  his  family  to  Suffield,  of  which  town  he  was  one 
of  the  original  proprietors,  his  name  being  the  58th  in  the  list  of 
one  hundred  of  the  first  grantees,  in  the  order  of  their  grants.  The 
first  grant  of  land  made  to  him  was  in  October,  1678,  which  lot  was 
laid  out  south  of  the  School  lot,  and  upon  which  he  built  and  lived. 
He  dug  a  well  that  was  still  used  1803.  Suffield  (previously  called 
Stoney  River,  and  Southfield)  was  a  part  of  Hampshire  Co.,  Mass., 
until  1749.  Among  the  names  of  the  localities  in  Suffield  found 
upon  the  early  records  is  King's  Hill.  He  was  by  trade  a  cooper. 
He  died  at  Suffield,  May  13,  1722,  leaving  a  large  landed  estate. 
He  married  1st,  Elizabeth  Emerson,  who  descended  from  a  re- 
spectable family  in  England.  She  reared  her  daugiiters  in  habits  of 
industry,  and  in  making  luce.  Her  mother  was  by  Queen  Pliizabeth 
presented  a  piece  of  linen,  afterwards  a  carefully  preserved  heirloom, 
and  given  to  her  daughter  Agnes.  She  died  January  30,  1715.  He 
married  2d,  February  27,  171 G,  widow  Hannah  Loomis.  By  his 
1st  marriage  he  had  children: 

3.  i.      J.orES,'  b.  at  Ipswich,  March  14,  1675;  m.  Elizabeth  Huxley. 
11.      "WrxLiA-M,  b.  at  Suffield,  Jan.  4,  1G79  :  d.  Sept.  30,  IGSO.

THE  gerry:maxder. 

By  John  Ward  Dea.v,  A.  M. 

The  time  and  occasion  of  the  introduction  of  the  word  Gerryman- 
der into  our  hmguage  are  matters  of  certainty  ;  but  there  is  doubt 
as  to  the  coiner  of  the  word  and  the  person  \vho  drew  the  picture  to 
which  the  name  was  first  applied.  The  only  contemporary  evidence 
on  these  points  known  to  me  is  the  following  memorandum,  made  in

1892.]  The  Gerrymander.  375 

pencil  at  the  time,  by  the  late  Mr.  Samuel  Batchelder  of  Cambridge, 
who  died  Feb.  5,  1879,  aged  94  : 

Nathan  Hale  drew  the  geosraphiciU  figure,  which  J.  G.  Cogswell  exhibi- 
ted at  a  dinner  party  at  Col.  Thorndike's.  where  the  animal  tirst  carae  into 
notice.  Mr.  Tisdale  sketched  the  wings,  and  after  several  propositions  re- 
specting the  name  that  of  Gerrymander  was  suggested  by  Mr.  Alsop. 

I  have  seen  this  memorandum  and  have  before  me  a  copy  of  it  in 
the  handwriting  of  Mr.  Batchelder,  which  copy  he  made  for  me  in 
1873.  He  informed  me  at  that  tiine  that  he  was  an  intimate  friend 
of  both  Xathan  Hale  and  Joseph  G.  Cogswell,  and  probably  received 
the  information  from  one  or  both.  He  thought  the  facts  were  well 
known  among  his  friends  at  the  time.  A  fuller  statement  was 
written  out  by  Mi'.  Batchelder  and  was  printed  in  the  Register  for 
October,  1873,  page  421,  as  follows: 

The  true  history  of  Gerrymander  is  as  follows,  and  it  is  very  important 
that  the  correct  history  should  be  given,  for  the  word  has  been  fully  incor- 
porated into  tlie  American  language,  *  *  *  «'  The  map  of  the  county 
of  Essex,  designating  the  boundary  of  the  senatorial  districts,  was  drawn 
by  Nathan  Hale,  who  with  Henry  Sedgwick  were  editors  of  the  Weekly 
Messenger.  It  was  printed  in  that  paper  March  6,  1812.  The  extraor- 
dinary division  of  the  county  of  Esses,  taking  a  single  line  of  towns  from 
the  outside  of  the  county,  and  adding  Chelsea  from  the  county  of  Suffolk, 
in  order  to  secure  a  democratic  majority  in  the  Senate,  was  such  a  piece  of 
political  management  as  to  produce  a  genera!  outcry.  The  map  was  copied 
into  some  of  the  otlier  newspapers,  and  at  a  dinner  party  at  the  house  of 
Mr.  Thorndike,  an  eminent  merchant  of  that  day  in  Boston,  it  was  exhibited 
by  Mr.  Cogswell,  afterwards  librarian  of  the  Astor  Library.  The  form  of 
the  district  was  a  subject  of  remark,  and  it  was  said  that  it  resembled  some 
horrible  animal,  and  only  wanted  wings  to  make  a  frightful  political  dragon. 
Mr.  Tisdale  took  his  pencil  and  sketched  the  wings,  and  there  was  a  dis- 
cussion about  the  name,  some  suggesting  that  of  Salamander.  Mr.  Alsop 
proposed  that  of  Gerrymander,  wiiich  was  adopted. 

I  was  acquainted  with  several  of  the  parties  above  mentioned,  and  this 
is  the  substance  of  a  memorandum  made  in  pencil  when  the  broadside  with 
the  figure  was  printed. 

Col.  Israel  Thorndike  lived  at  the  corner  of  Summer  and  Arch 
Streets.  Another  account  is  given  by  the  late  ]Mr.  James  S.  Loring 
in  his  "Hundred  Boston  Orators"  published  in  1852,  on  page  559. 
After  stating  that  Judge  Story  had  the  traditionary  reputation  of 
originating  the  project  of  securing  a  democratic  majority  in  the 
Massachusetts  senate  by  manipulating  the  districts,  he  says  : 

It  is  highly  probable,  however,  that  the  Hon.  Samuel  Dana,  who  was 
President  of  the  Senate  in  that  session,  was  the  originator  of  this  measure,* 

•  Mr.  Loring's  principal  authority  for  the  statement  that  the  measure  probably  origin  ited 
with  Mr.  Uann,  was  a  Bo-ton  gentleman  of  high  standing  who  was  fainiiiar  with  the  secret 
history  of  polities  in  Massachusetts  during  th>^  lir^t  half  of  the  present  century.  I  remem-

but  it  was  one  whom  1  knew  liv  reputation.  I  remember  telling  Mr.  Loi  ing  more  than  once

376  The  Geri'ymand'^r.  [Oct. 

which  was  caricatured  in  the  Boston  Gazette  of  March,  1812,  by  an  en- 
graving, executed  by  E.  Tisdnle,  a  miniature  painter,  representing  the 
new  order  of  districtitig  in  the  form  of  an  unsightly  skeleton,  and  was  tirst 
exhibited  in  the  Centiuel  otfice.  Washington  Allston,  calling  there  with 
James  Ogilvie,  a  lecturer  on  oratory,*  and  noticing  the  figure,  remarked  to 
Russell,  the  editor,  "  What  an  odd-looking  creature  is  this !  it  looks  like 
a  Salamander."  On  which  Ogilvie,  quick  as  litrht,  replies,  "  Why,  let  it  be 
named  Gerrymander,  for  the  governor."  We  relate  this  on  the  authority 
of  Dr.  Joseph  Palmer,  who  had  the  statement  from  Benjamin  Russell. 

Mr.  Joseph  T.  Buckingham,  in  his  "  Specimens  of  Newspaper 
Literature  "  (1850),  vol.  2,  page  91,  gives  this  account  of  the  matter  : 

In  1811,  when  Mr.  Gerry  was  Governor  of  the  Commonwealth,  the 
Legislature  made  a  new  division  of  the  districts  for  the  election  of  represen- 
tatives to  Congress-t  Both  branches  had  then  a  democratic  majority.  For 
the  purpose  of  securing  a  democratic  representative  an  absurd  and  singular 
arrangement  of  towns  in  the  couity  of  Essex  was  made  to  compose  a  dis- 
trict. Russell  took  a  map  of  the  county,  and  designated  by  a  particular 
coloring  the  towns  thus  selected.  He  then  hung  the  map  on  the  wall  of  his 
editorial  closet.  One  day  Gilbert  Stuart,  the  celebrated  painter,  looked  at 
the  map,  and  said  the  towns,  which  Russell  had  thus  distinguished,  formed 
a  picture  resembling  some  monstrous  animal.  He  took  a  pencil,  and,  with 
a  few  touches,  adtled  what  might  be  supposed  to  represent  claws.  "  There," 
said  Stuart,  "  that  will  do  for  a  Salamander."  Russell,  who  was  busy  with 
his  pen,  looked  up  at  the  hideous  figure,  and  exclaimed,  "  Salamander!  call 
it  Gerrymander."  The  word  became  a  proverb,  and  for  many  years  was  in 
popular  use  among  the  Federalists,  as  a  term  of  reproach  to  the  democratic 
Legislature,  which  had  distinguished  itself  by  this  act  of  political  turpitude. 
An  engraving  of  the  "Gerrymander"  was  made,  and  hawked  about  the 
State,  which  had  some  effect  in  annoying  the  democratic  party. 

Mr.  Gilbert  L.  Streeter,  in  his  "Account  of  Newspapers  and 
Periodicals  Published  in  Salem"  (185l)),  page  36,  gives  a  similar 
account  of  the  origin  of  the  Gerrymander,  ascribing  the  drawing  to 
Gilbert  Stuart,  and  the  naming  of  the  monster  to  Major  Kussell. 

Dunlap,  in  his  "  History  of  the  Arts  of  Design  in  the  United 
States  "  published  in  1834,  in  his  sketch  of  Tisdale  says  :  "  He  is 

whom  he  consulted  while  he  was  preparing  his  ''Hundred  Boston  Orators"  be  woald 
leave  a  manuscript  more  valuable  than  the  book  he  was  then  compiling. 
The  following  extract  from  a  communication  on  "  The  Gerrymander"  in  the  Columbian 

'Centinei,  Mar  23,  1812,  shows  that  Judse  Story  was,  at  that  time,  suspected  by  his 
political  opponents  of  beinsj  the  oriirinator  of  the  scheme:  "  It  would  be  welL  however,  if 
we  could  so  ascertain  beyond  a  douiit  the  real  Father  of  this  unnatural  monster,  that  we 
might  hold  him  up  to  everla.-ting  scorn  and  contempt.  He  must,  and  he  shall,  l)e  found 
out  and  exposed — and  it  shall  be  left  to  an  impartial  public  to  Judge  of  this  most  wicked 
Story."— h. 

•  Perhaps  some  reader  of  the  Register  may  be  able  to  tell  whether  Jame^  Ogilvie  was 
in  Boston  in'March,  1812. 

't  A  miftake  :  the  districts  were  for  State  Senators.  The  statement  that  the  gerrymander 
division  of  districts  was  made  in  181 1  is  also  likely  to  n»i>lead  our  readers.     Tlie  legislature 

('Which  made  the  division  was  chosen  on  the  first  Monday  in  April,  1811,  and  began  its  tirst 
session  on  the  last  Wednesday  of  the  following  May,  but  it  was  not  till  its  second  pession, 
which  began  in  January,  ISl'i,  that  the  act  was  passed.  It  has  been  the  custom  to  cite  laws 
as  passed  in  the  year  in  which  the  !t'2i>l  iture  beg;.n  its  official  term  of  service,  and  this  is 
therefore  offiiialiv  cited  as  an  act  of  1811.  The  lull,  howcvtr,  passed  the  senate  fcb  4,  and 
the  house  Feb.  7,"  1812.  it  was  signed  by  Gov.  Elbri.lire  Gerry,  Feb.  II,  1812.  The  act  is 
printed  in  the  Laws  of  the  Comnionwealth  of  Massachubetta,  vol.  v.  (1812)  chap.  97,  pp. 
617-19.

the  author  of  the  political  satire  called  the  Gerrymander,  and  made 
designs  for  it." 

Messrs.  Batchelder,  Loring  and  Dunlap  agree  in  assigning  to 
Elkanah  Tisdale  the  drawing  of  the  monster.  ]\Iessrs.  Buckingham 
and  Streeter  assign  it  to  Gilbert  Stuart ;  but  ]Major  Benjamin  Rus- 
sell, who,  according  to  Buckingham's  statement,  gave  it  its  name, 
told  Dr.  Palmer  that  Tisdale  was  the  designer.  As  regards  the 
person  who  gave  the  name  tlie  evidence  is  conflicting,  but  as  INIr. 
Batchelder  made  his  memorandum  at  the  time,  I  think  his  evidence 
should  be  received  in  preference  to  that  of  persons  who  made  up 
their  accounts  at  a  later  date. 


Elkanah  Tisdale  was  the  second  son  of  Elkanah  and  Abigail  Tis- 
dale of  Lebanon,  Ct.,  and  was  born  in  that  town,  Sept.  26,  1768. 
Col.  John  Trumbull,  the  painter,  was  born  in  Lebanon  twelve  years 
before  that  date.  Tisdale  was  a  miniature  painter  in  Xew  York  in 
1805.     He  designed  in  1807,   and  perhaps  engraved  the  plates  for

378  The  Gerrymander.  [Oct. 

"  The  Echo."  Among  his  early  designs  were  some  for  "  McFingal." 
In  1812,  when  this  picture  was  drawn,  he  was  a  miniature  painter 
in  Boston.  He  afterwards  removed  to  Hartford  and  became  a 
partner  in  the  Graphic  Company.  He  died  at  Norwich,  Ct.,  ^lay 
1,  1835,  aged  Q'd.  He  wrote  poetry  and  is  said  to  have  been  a 
man  of  wit. 

The  history  of  the  Gerrymander  huv  is  this.  The  Massacliusetts 
state  election,  on  the  first  Monday  of  April,  1811,  resulted  in  a 
complete  triumph  of  the  democratic,  or  as  they  styled  themselves  the 
republican,  party.  The  governor,  Elbridge  Gerry,  was  of  that  party, 
as  well  as  a  majority  of  both  the  senate  and  house  of  representatives. 
Hon.  Samuel  Dana  of  Middlesex  county  was  chosen  president  of  the 
senate,  and  Hon.  Joseph  Story  of  Salem  was  chosen  speaker  of  the 
house.  The  winter  session  of  the  legislature  began  on  Wednesday, 
January  8,  1812.  Mr.  Story,  the  speaker  of  the  house,  having 
been  appointed  a  justice  of  the  United  States  Supreme  Court, 
resigned  his  office  as  speaker  January  18,  and  Eleazer  W.  Ripley 
of  "Waterville  was  chosen  in  his  place. 

An  order  passed  the  senate  Wednesday,  January  22,  and  the 
house  on  the  23d,  appointing  a  committee  "to  consider  the  subject 
of  a  new  law  to  alter  the  districts  now  established  for  the  choice  of 
counsellors  and  senators  and  to  determine  what  alterations  may  be 
necessary  therein."  The  committee  consisted  of  ^Messrs.  Seth 
Sprague,  Jonas  Kendall  and  Francis  Carr  of  the  senate,  and  Benja- 
min W.  Crowninshield  of  Salem,  Matthew  Cobb  of  Portland,  Jona- 
than Smith  of  West  Springfield,  and  Eliakim  Phelps  of  Belchertown, 
of  the  house.  Mr.  Kendall  of  the  senate  and  Mr.  Phelps  of  the 
house  were  federalists.     The  rest  were  democrats. 

The  committee  reported  a  bill,  which  was  considered  by  the 
senate  Tuesday,  February  4,  1812.  Various  amendments  were 
offered  by  the  federalists,  but  were  all  voted  down.  One  was  that 
the  county  of  Essex  shall  form  one  district  and  choose  five  senators, 
and  another  was  to  strike  out  the  two  sections  forming  the  districts 
in  Essex  county,  and  insert  "the  towns  forming  the  present  south 
district  for  the  choice  of  a  representative  in  Congress,  with  the 
towns  of  Hamilton,  Topsfield  and  Middleton,  form  one  district  and 
choose  three  senators,  and  the  remaining  towns  in  Essex  county  form 
one  district  and  choose  two  senators."  The  bill  passed  that  day 
without  amendment — yeas  19,  nays  18. 

The  bill  came  before  the  house  on  Thursday,  Feb.  6.  Mr.  Wil- 
liam H.  Sumner  of  Boston  moved  that  the  further  consideration  of 
this  question  be  postponed  till  the  first  session  of  the  next  General 
Court,  but  it  was  defeated  by  a  yea  and  nay  vote — yeas  229,  nays 
270.  The  next  day,  Friday,  Feb.  7,  the  bill  was  passed  by  the 
house — yeas  278,  nays  231. 

On  Thursday,  February  20,  in  the  house,  a  protest  signed  by  224 
members  was  read  by  William  Sullivan,  and  is  entered  in  full  with

the  n:imes  in  an  appendix  to  the  journal,  making  in  all  over  eight 
pages.* 

A  map  of  Essex  county,  with  Chelsea,  showing  the  division  of  the 
two  districts  in  tliat  county,  was  published,  ^larch  6,  1812,  in  the 
Boston  Weekly  ^Messenger,  of  which  newspaper  Nathan  Hale  was  the 
editor.  Mr.  Hale  is  said  by  ^Ir.  Batchelder  to  have  drawn  the 
"  geographical  figure  "  which  was  the  basis  of  the  Gerrymander.  An 
engraving  of  the  Gerrymander  appeared  about  three  weeks  later  in 
the  Boston  Gazette,  March  26,  1812.  The  late  Mr.  George  G. 
Smith  (Register,  vol.  33,  p.  256)  informed  me  that  the  cut, 
which  was  on  metal,  was  executed  in  the  shop  where  he  was  an 
apprentice  to  the  trade  of  an  engraver.  He  showed  me  a  scar  on 
his  wrist,  which  he  said  was  made  by  his  graver  slipping  when  he 
was  doing  some  rough  work  on  the  cut.  The  picture  was  reproduced 
later  in  other  newspapers,  the  same  cut  apparently  being  used.  It 
did  not,  however,  appear  in  the  Columbian  Centinel,  at  least  not  at 
that  time ;  and  this  leads  me  to  think  that  the  story  is  not  true  that 
the  monster  was  drawn  in  the  Centinel  office,  and  received  its  name 
there.  I  do  not  find  that  Major  Russell,  when  it  appeared  in  the 
papers,  referred  to  it  in  the  Centinel  even  as  a  matter  of  news. 
Perhaps  the  picture  was  got  up  by  a  rival  clique  in  the  Federal 
party. 

Photo-engravings  of  the  original  picture  and  the  original  map  are 
given  in  this  article,  but  reduced  in  size.  The  original  gerrymander 
in  the  Boston  Gazette  measures  6 J  inches  high  and  6  inches  wide. 
The  original  map  is  ~%  inches  high  and  6  inches  wide. 

The  picture  is  thus  noticed  April  2,  1812,  by  the  "Independent 
Chronicle,"  a  democratic  newspaper  : 

The  federalists  of  Boston  lately  drew  an  accurate  likeness  of  themseh-es 
and  sent  it  out  to  their  country  brethren  in  the  Gazette  and  RepertorTj ; 
hoping  that  it  would  inspire  sentiments  of  respect  and  admiration.  They 
misnamed  it  the  '•  Gerrymander  "  ;  it  should  have  been  the  Federal  Gander, 
for  none  but  geese  would  ever  have  resorted  to  such  a  paltry  and  foolish  ex- 
pedient. The  mathematicians  who  planned  and  the  limners  who  executed 
the  sublime  specimen  of  federal  ingenuity  drew  their  own  portrait  without 
intending  it.  They  exposed  at  one  view,  all  their  malignant,  venomous  and 
lizard-like  qualities. 

It  will  be  noticed  in  the  picture  that  the  lines  forming  the  western 
boundaries  of  Andover,  Middleton  and  Lynnfield  form  the  profile  of 
a  man's  face.  It  is  said  to  be  that  of  Gov.  Gerry.  The  New-England 
Historic  Genealogical  Society  has  a  copy  of  the  original  Gerryman- 
der picture,  in  which  some  one  has  painted  the  profile  in  flesh  color 
with  eye,  nose  and  mouth. 

*  We  are  indeHtod  to  Mr.  C.  B.  Ti'.linchast,  of  the  Massachusetts  State  Library,  for 
extracts  from  the  jomnals  of  the  senate  and  house,  which  are  now  preserved  with  other 
matter  relating  to  the  Gerrymander  m  the  hbrary  of  the  New-England  Historic  Genealogical

The  Gerrymanaer. 


[Oct. 


A  large  broadside  (18  in.  by  21  in.)  was  published  in  1823,  entitled 
"Natural  and  Political  History  of  the  Gerry-Mander.  In  two  chap- 
ters. AVith  Cuts."  The  first  chapter  gives  the  Natural  History, 
and  the  second  the  Political  Plistory.  The  cuts  were  the  Gerry- 
mander picture  and  the  map  of  Essex  county.  From  the  Political 
History,  we  quote  the  following  : 

In  the  year  1811,  both  the  branches  of  the  Legislature,  and  the  Governor, 
were,  with  the  exception  of  a  single  year,  for  the  first  tioie,  democratic;  but 
the  experience  of  past  years,  taught  the  prevailing  party,  that  the  tenure 


of  their  power  was  extremely  precarious,  and  that  tho  sm?>llnes3  of  their 
majority  in  the  Senate  was  sometimes,  from  the  superiority  of  talents  oa 
the  other  side,  quite  embarrassing.

1892.]  The  Gerrymander.  381 

The  senatorial  districts  had  been  formed,  according  to  the  natural  and 
most  obvious  construction  of  the  constitution,  without  any  division  of  coun- 
ties. To  effect  the  desired  object  of  securins:  a  decided  majority  in  the 
Senate  in  all  future  years,  the  Legislature  divided  the  State  into  nevf  sena- 
torial districts  in  such  a  manner  as  to  procure  the  election  of  the  greatest 
number  of  democratic  Senators.  They  not  only  divided  counties  to  etiect 
their  object  in  opposition  to  the  powerful  arguments  of  the  federal  members, 
who  urged  the  unconstitutionality  of  such  a  measure,  but  tliey  divided  the 
counties  of  Essex  and  Worcester  in  a  manner  which  showed  that  all  con- 
siderations of  convenience  or  propriety  were  disregarded,  and  that  the  only 
object  was  to  form  a  democratic  district  from  each  of  those  federal  counties. 
This  will  appear  from  the  following  plan  of  the  two  Essex  Districts,  in 
which  the  double  dotted  lines  show  the  boundaries  of  the  districts  as  they 
were  formed  by  the  districting  law  of  1811,  commonly  called  the  Gerry- 
Mander  law. 

\_For  the  plan,  see  the  opposite  page.'] 
In  the  plan  given  above  of  the  E^sex  outer  district,  authorized  by  law  to 
choose  three  Senators,  while  the  federal  towns  enclosed  within  it  formed 
another  district  to  choose  two,  the  reader  will  perceive  all  the  features  of  the 
Gerry-Mander.  It  was  the  creature  of  the  Legislature  of  1811,  and  the 
design  of  its  creation  was  to  increase  and  secure  the  power  of  the  democratic 
party  in  the  Senate  of  the  State. 

The  Gerry-Mander  did  not  disappoint  the  expectations  of  its  fond  parents. 
The  election  of  Senators  in  1312  took  place  under  the  Gerry-Mander  law, 
and  the  result  was,  that  twenty  nine  democratic,  and  only  eleven  federal 
Senators  were  chosen.  On  the  same  day  the  federal  candidate  for  Governor 
was  chosen  by  a  handsome  majority;  and  what  is  more  remarkable,  such 
was  the  malignant  influence  of  the  animal  of  which  we  are  giving  the  his- 
tory, that  it  required  fewer  democratic  votes  to  choose  the  twenty  nine 
democratic  Senators,  than  were  actually  given  to  the  federal  candidates,  of 
whom  only  eleven  were  chosen. 

The  whole  number  of  votes  given  for  Senators  was  101,930,  of  which 
51,766  were  given  to  the  federal  candidates,  and  50,164  for  the  democratic 
candidates,  making  a  federal  majority  of  1602  votes.  Yet  the  democratic 
minority,  with  the  iielp  of  the  Gerry-Mander,  outvoted  the  federal  majority, 
almost  three  to  one — that  is,  so  as  to  constitute  a  Senate  of  29  democratic 
and  11  federal  members. 

In  the  Massachusetts  State  Election,  ]Monday,  April  5,  1813,  the 
Federal  party  was  triumphant.  The  Gerrymander  district  itself 
cast  2909  federal  votes  to  2739  democratic,  being  a  majority  of  170 
against  the  party  which  formed  the  district.  In  the  Salem  Gazette, 
April  6,  the  following  article  and  cut  appeared : 

The  Great  Magician's  Dead! 
We  announce  in  our  paper  of  to-day,  we  confess  with  no  great  regret,  the 
Death  of  that  far  famed  and  ill  begotten  Monster  the  Gerry-Mander.  This 
"delicate  monster"  has  been  pining  ever  since  last  November,  when  he 
terribly  strained  himself  in  attempting  to  sicaUow  one  of  his  parents.  But 
regardless  of  the  consequences  of  that  wicked  and  injurlicious  attempt,  he 
yesterday  made  another  most  desperate  etJbrt  to  swallow  Three  of  his  nearest 
relations,  and  immediately  expired  in  the  most  "  agonizing  struggles" — a 
loud  warning  to  all  his  relations  in  this  and  the  neighboring  States.

The  portrait  which  follows  exactly  represents  him  in  "  the  article  of  death."

Mr.  Streeter  in  his  Newspapers  and  Periodicals  published  in  Salem, 
page  36,  states  that  the  above  device  was  "executed  by  Mr.  Apple- 
ton,  the  jocose  partner  of  Mr.  Gushing  in  his  book  store,  who  cast 
a  block  of  type  metal  and  engraved  the  figure  durins;  the  night  pre- 
vious to  its  publication."  A  correspondent  of  the  Boston  Evening 
Transcript,  Jan.  4,  1886  (D,  P.),  states  that  ''John  S.  Appleton 
of  the  firm  of  Gushing  &  Appleton,  booksellers,  Salem,  originally 
drew  the  picture  of  the  Gerrymander  which  was  engraved  by  ]Mr. 
Morgan,  watchmaker,  and  published  in  the  Salem  Gazette  in  1813. 
The  picture  of  the  Gerrymander  which  was  published  in  the  Salem 
Gazette  in  1813  was  the  above  skeleton  of  the  gerrymander  and 
not  the  original  monster  which  made  its  appearance  in  Boston  a  year 
earlier. 

Elbridge  Gerry,  governor  of  Massachusetts,  1810-1812  whose 
name  is  perpetuated  in  the  word  gerrymander  is  a  prominent  char- 
acter in  our  history,  and  accounts  of  him  will  be  found  in  biographical 
dictionaries.  He  was  born  in  ]Marblehead,  uMass.,  July  17,  17-:1:4:, 
■was  graduated  at  Harvard  Gollege  1762  and  died  at  Washington, 
D.  C.,  Nov.  23,  1814,  being  at  that  time  vice-presidenc  of  the 
United  States.  He  was  a  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence, 
a  member  of  the  United  States  constitutional  convention,  a  member 
of  congress  for  several  veara  and  one  of  the  commissioners  to  France 
in  1797.  In  April,  1812,  he  was  a  candidate  for  re-election  as 
governor  of  Massachusetts,  but  was  defeated  by  his  federal  oppo- 
nent, the  Hon.  Caleb  Strong.  In  the  November  following  he  was 
chosen  vice-president  of  the  United  States  ;  but  he  did  not  receive 
the  electoral  vote  of  his  own  state. 

The  initial  of  the  governor's  surname  (G)  has  the  hard  sound  of 
that  letter,  and  the  ^  in  gerrymander  should  also  be  pronounced

THE  DODGE  FAMILY  OF  ESSEX  COUNTY,  MASS. 

By  Joseph  Thompsox  Dodge,  A.M.,  Ph.D.,  of  Madison,  Wis. 
_    To  THOSE  interested  in  the  early  historv  of  this  family  the  follow- 
ing, as  a  preliminary  to  more  worthy  trea'tment  of  the  subject,  mav 
prove  of  interest. 

A  very  large  part  of  the  Dodges  of  Xew  England  are  descendants 
of  one  John  Dodge*  of  Middle  Chinnock,  County  of  Somerset, 
England,  who  died  there  in  1()35.  By  his  will  recently  discovered 
dated  2d  April.  1(3.35,  and  proved  15th  October,  1G35,  it  appears  that 
he  had  a  wife  Margery;  sons,  William,'  Kichard,'  and  Michael,' 
and  a  daughter  Mary;  that  Richard  had  a  son  John,'  known  from 
other  sources  to  have  been  born  about  1631.  Michael  had  a  eon 
William,'  born  in  1643-4. 

It  is  well  known  that  William'  Dodge  came  to  this  country  from 
England  in  tiie  ship  Lion's  Whelp,  which  sailed  from  Gravesend 
2oth  April,  and  from  the  Isle  of  Wight  Uth  May,  1629,  and  landed 
at  Salem,  Mass.,  29th  June,  1629.  This  William  Dodoe  was  com- 
mended to  Gov.  Endicott  as  a  "skillful  and  painful  husbandman, 
with  the  request  that  he  might  have  charge  of  a  team  of  horses." 
balem  at  that  time  included  the  area  now  embraced  in  Salem, 
I5everly,  ^^  euham,  Hamilton,  Ipswich,  Danvers,  Peabody,  and  per- 
haps others.  ^ 

William  settled  in  that  part  now  called  Beverly,  but,  until  1668, 
knovvn  as  Bitss  River-side ;  being  separated  from  Salem  proper  by 
the  Bay.  Tradition  says  that  he  was  tall,  with  black  hair  and  dark 
complexion,  that  he  returned  to  Lancashire  (doubtful)  where  he 
married,  and  returned  to  Salem  with  his  brothers  Richard  and  John. 
Iradmon  IS  not  distinguished  for  accuracy,  and  in  this  case  it  is 
possible  that  he  returned  to  England  to  be  married,  but  we  find  no 
trace  ot  Richard  in  Salem  till  1638,  and  the  John  of  tradition  is 
undoubtedly  John  the  eon  of  Richard,  born  in  1631,  who,  of  course, 
came  with  hh  father. 

William  Dodge  became  "  freeman  "  17th  April,  1637,  and  one  of 
the  tounders  of  the  first  church  in  Beverly  in  the  year  1667  He 
bought  tor  £40,  28th  July  1644,  two 'hundred  acres,  "late  the

property  of  Peter  Palfry,"  near  the  head  of  Bass  River,  being  a  part 
of  the  Old  Planters'  tract,  which,  on  the  25th  January,  1635,  the 
town  of  Salem  granted  to  Peter  Palfry,  John  Balch,  AVilliara  Trask, 
John  Woodberry  and  Roger  Conant,  200  acres  each,  tiie  whole 
being  124:  rods  by  about  1290.  These  grantees  were  all  settlers  be- 
fore Gov.  Endicott's  arrival,  and  hence  were  called  Old  Planters. 

The  fact  that  William  Dodge  came  to  Salem  nine  years  earlier 
than  Richard  gave  him  more  prominence  in  the  community,  but  tlie 
same  fact  implies  a  greater  degree  of  enterprise,  if  not  ability,  than 
was  shown  by  the  act  of  following  where  another  had  led  the  way. 
Hence,  William  has  sometimes  been  called  the  father  of  all  the 
Dodo-es.  The  records,  however,  indicate  that  the  descendants  of 
Richard  Dodge  are  much  more  numerous  than  those  of  William. 
Richard  for  a  time  lived  on  land  belonging  to  his  brother.  He  was 
received  as  an  inhabitant  29th  October,  1638,  was.  granted  by  the 
town  of  Salem,  12th  November,  1638,  ten  acres  of  land,  and  26th 
of  November,  1638,  the  undivided  half  of  eighty  acres  more,  the 
other  half  being  granted  to  his  brother  William.  This  last  tract 
was  on  the  east  end  of  Conant's,  John  Woodberry 's  and  John  Balch's 
farms,  whereof  twelve  acres  were  meadow.  The  3d  of  December, 
1641,  the  town  granted  to  Richard  forty  acres  more,  making  ninety 
in  all.  He  was  received  into  the  churcli  at  Salem,  5th  May,  1644. 
In  1667  he  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  First  Church,  now  of 
Beverly.  Richard  died  in  Beverly  loth  June,  1671,  leaving  a  will, 
by  which  it  appears  he  left  a  brother  Michael  in  England,  and  that 
Michael  was  to  pay  him  £4  per  annum  for  land  which  Richard  either 
owned  or  had  an  interest  in.  The  will  of  Richard,  in  connection 
with  the  will  of  his  father,  John  Dodge,  lately  found  in  Somerset 
House,  London,  renders  the  origin  of  the  Salem  Dodges  very  certain. 
It  is  also  shown  by  deeds  recorded  in  Register's  office  of  Essex 
County,  vol.  xi.  p.  231,  and  vol.  viii.  p.  163,  that  William  Dodge, 
senior,  had  a  nephew  William  Dodge  (Coker  William,  or  William 
of  Coker,  son  of  Michael),  to  whom,  by  a  deed  dated  12th  May, 
1685,  he  gave  "16  acres  taken  from  my  home  farm  next  to  the 
south  end  of  Brimble  Hill  "  (on  which  Beverly  reservoir  now  stands). 
On  the  same  date  he  also  imposed  upon  his  son,  Capt.  William 
Dodge,  of  Beverly,  the  duty  of  paying  "  to  my  brother.  If  he  come 
to  New  England  and  dwell  in  this  town  (Beverly),  5£  per  annum, 
BO  long  as  he  shall  dwell  here."  This  refers  unmistakably  to  a 
brother  then  in  England,  and  probably  to  Michael,  who  was  then 
no  doubt  his  only  brother,  Richard  having  died  in  1671.  In  16^2 
Coher  William  still  claimed  that  William  Dodge,  senior,  had 
promised  to  give  him  ten  acres  of  land,  but  William  Dodge,  senior, 
being  dead,  and  the  land  being  in  the  hands  of  his  eldest  son, 
known  as  Capt.  John  Dodge,  the  son  honored  the  memory  and 
good  name  of  his  father  by  giving  the  claimant  five  acres.  Tiiia

in  deeds,  married  Elizabeth,  daughter  of  Roger  Hascoll  in  Beverly, 
and  is  said  to  iiave  had  two  sons  and  five  daughters,  among  them 
a  Mighill  and  a  Margery.  On  the  20th  February,  1G96-7,  he 
and  his  wife  Elizabeth  conveyed  to  Joseph  Herrick,  probably  the 
son-in-law  of  Capt.  William  Dodge,  "  for  70£  6s.  in  silver,"  one 
parcel  of  land  in  Beverly,  containing  five  acres  more  or  less,  "with 
my  dwelling  house  thereon,"  and  another  parcel  in  Beverly,  con- 
taining ten  acres  more  or  less.  After  this  conveyance,  the  name  of 
William  of  Coker  is  not  found  in  the  records  of  Essex  County. 

We  can  now  present  in  order  the  first  three  generations  in  New 
England,  in  addition  to  the  family  of  John  who  never  came  to

2.  i.      William^  came  to  Salem  ia  1G29 ;  d.  between  1G85  and  1692.     A  de- 

po:-ition  of  William  Dodge,  made  in  February,  167S-9,  says.  "  aged 
about  70  years."  Another  deposition  made  by  the  same,  2Sth  Sept. 
1680,  says,  *'  aged  about  76  years."  The  latter  is  believed  to  be  the 
more  coiTect.     Hence,  his  birth  may  have  been  as  early  as  1604. 

3.  ii.     RicnARU  appears  in  Salem  in  1638;  d.  15th  June,  1671;  probably  bom

2.  "William*  Dodge  came  to  Salem  in   1629,  as  before  stated.     Tha 

name  of  his  wife  is  not  known.  It  has  been  caHec!  Elizabeth  Has- 
kell;  but  Elizabeth  Haskell  was  wife  of  "Coker"  WiHiam,  of 
which  there  are  several  proofs.  Farmer  William  died  between  1685 
and  1692,  as  shown  by  deeds  of  land.  During  his  life  Time  only 
one  deed  shows  the  name  of  a  wife;  that  was  Mary,  the  wife  of 
"  Captain "  WiHiam.  She  was  a  Conant.  and  at  the  time  of  her 
marriage  to  William  Dodge  was  widow  of  John  Balch. 

The  standing  of  Farmer  William  in  the  community  is  indicated 
by  the  fact  tha:  in  thirty-live  to  forty  instances,  of  which  the  records 
have  been  preserved,  he  was  elected,  or  appointed,  to  various  public 
services ;  such  as  selectman,  grand  juryman,  trial  juryman,  committee 
service  for  town  and  church  interests,  laying  out  roads,  etc.  Tliere 
are  also  evidences  that  he  was  on  the  best  of  terms  with  his  pastor, 
Rev.  John  Hale,  and  that  in  the  business  of  preserving  public  order 
and  good  morals  he  and  his  sons  were  clearly  on  the  right  side.  In 
May,  1685,  he  disposed  of  his  real  estate  by  deeds  N\hich  are  of 
record,  conveying  his  homestead  to  his  son,  Capt.  William,  and  it  is 
to-day  in  possession  of  Mr.  Mason,  and  lies  east  of  Cabot  street  and 
south  of  Herrick  street.     His  children  were  as  follows: 

4.  i.       Capt.  Jons.-  b.  1636;  m.  Sarah  Proctor.  lOth  April.  16."9. 

6.  ii.     Capt.  William,  b.  19ch  Sept.  1640:  d.  24th  March,  1720,  aged  79. 
6.  iiL    Haxx.\.h,  b.  1642;  m.  Samuel  Porter,  who  d.  1660;  m.  2d,  Thomas

JosiAH  Dodge,  killed  in  the  Narraganset  war  in  1675,  may  have  been 
another  sou. 

3.  Richard'  Dodge  appeared  at  Salem  iu  163S.  and   ••  desired  accom- 

modation." After  living  awhile  on  land  of  bis  brother  William,  he 
settled  on  "■  Dodge  Row  "  in  North  Beverly,  not  far  east  of  Weiiham 
Lake.  The  house  he  built  stood  probably  where  Mr.  H.  W.  Dodge 
now  lives,  very  near  the  present  north  line  of  Beverly.  Richard 
evidently  gave  his  attention  more  to  farming  and  the  care  of  bis 
domestic  affairs,  than  to  town  or  church  business;  although  he  was 
a  loyal  church  member,  and  one  of  the  most  liberal  contributors  to 
the  support  of  the  church.  He  also  had  a  high  a|ipreciation  of  the 
value  of  education,  for  in  1653,  in  a  list  of  twenty-one  subscribers  to 
Harvard  College,  his  name  ranks  first,  while  the  next  largest  sum 
was  only  one  fourth  as  much  as  his.  He  dedicated  a  piece  of  his 
land  to  a  burying  ground,  which  is  now  known  as  the  Cemetery  ou 
Dodge  Row.  It  was  probably  inherited  by  his  son  Edward,  who 
died  iu  1727,  for  iu  February,  1730-1,  the  three  sons  of  Edward, 
by  a  deed,  confirmed  the  grant  to  their  relatives  and  neighbors* 
The  near  neighbors  of  Richard^  were  Zechary  Herrick  who  married 
his  daughter  Mary,  Peter  Woodberry  who  married  Sarah,  John  and 
Humphrey  ^Yoodberry,  and  John  Galle.  He  died  loth  June,  1G71, 
leaving  an  estate  valued  at  the  large  sum  of  £1764  2s.  He  gave 
his  sons  John,  Richard  and  Samuel  each  a  good  farm,  valued  in  hi.s 
inventory  at  over  £100  each.  To  sons  Edward  and  Joseph  he  gave 
the  home  farm,  valued  at  £1000.  To  his  wife  Edith  be  gave  cer- 
tain appropriate  personal  property.  "  to  be  her  own  absolutely,"  and 
gave  her  "  the  sole  and  proper  use  of  the  parlor  &  chamber  over  it 
iu  my  now  dwelling  house,"  and  made  liberal  provision  for  annual 
payments  to  be  made  to  her  by  her  live  sous.  She  outlived  him 
seven  years,  dying  27th  June,  1678.  at  the  age  of  75.  From  this 
it  is  probable  that  Richard  may  have  beeu  boru  about  1602,  and  was 
about  two  years  older  than  William.  Edith,  before  her  death,  also 
made  a  will,  and  the  inventory  discloses  a  very  comfortable  state  of 
worldly  affairs.  !N'o  grave  stones,  however,  disclose  their  resting 
place.     Their  children  were  as  follows : 

7.  i.      John,*  bapt.  29th  Dec.  1631,  in  England ;  lived  at  No.  Beverly ;  d.  11th

for  1st  wife,  10th  April,  1659;  married  for  2d  wife,  Elizabeth, 
widow  of  John  Woodberry;  she  died  6th  January,  1726,  aged  94. 
He  lived  in  Beverly,  and  owned  a  mill  at  the  head  of  Beverly  Cove. 
In  1710  he  gave  thirty-three  acres  in  Wenham  to  his  grandson  John,* 
the  son  of  John,'  who  died  about  1700;  and  four  acres  to  his  grand- 
daughter .Sarah,  which,  in  case  of  her  death,  was  to  go  to  her  sister 
Mary.  Capt.  John  served  against  the  Narragansetts  in  1675,  was 
chosen  Representative  to  the  General  Court  iu  1693-96  and  1702, 
was  often  on  grand  and  petit  jury,  and  on  a  variety  of  committees

1683,  1689  and  1690,  was  often  elected  one  of  the  Selectmen  of  the 
to.vn,  and  served  in  almost  every  public  capacity  where  good  sense 
and  integrity  were  required.  There  are  many  bits  of  evidence  pre-

order.  His  eldest  son,  John,'  died  at  the  age  of  42,  and  the  will,

a  large  farm  in  Ipswich,  which  he  subsequently  g.-ive  to  his  eldest 
son,  Richard.  He  also  had  laud  near  Chihocco  Lake  in  Ipswich. 
He  owned  a  cider  mill  and  press,  and  from  the  careful  provision  for 
its  use.  which  he  made  in  deeds  to  his  sons,  it  is  likely  that  they  all 
lived  in  the  same  vicinity.  About  two  years  before  his  death,  he 
divided  his  property  among  his  children,  giving  bis  negro  man, 
Mingo,  to  the  eldest  son.  He  and  his  wife  were  buried  at  North

12.    Edward'  Dodge   {Richard^),  died   loth  February,  1727:    married 
Mary,  daughter  of  William  Haskell  of  Gloucester,  30th  April.  1673. 

She  died ,  1737.     Edward  and  Joseph'  were  joint  executors 

of  the  estate  of  their  father,  Richard,  and  appear  to  have  lived  on 
the  best  of  terms  with  each  other  and  their  other  relatives,  in  the 
quiet  possession  of  the  farms  which  they  inherited  jointly,  and  divided 
amicably. 

Edward's  will  was  dated  17th  February,  1714-15;  filed  20th 
March,  ]  727  ;  mentions  wife  Mary,  sons  Edward,  Mark  and  Jonathan, 
daughters  Mary  Woodbury,  Edith  Wood,  Ruth  Balch.  Ellenor  and 
Hannah.  Edward  and  Mark  were  made  executors,  and  were  to 
take  care  of  their  mother,  Mary.  Edward,  like  his  father  and  many 
of  his  relatives,  was  often  chosen  to  town  offices,  such  as  constable 
and  collector  of  taxes,  grand  juryman,  trial  juryman,  surveyor  of 
highways,  one  of  the  selectmen,  and  member  of  various  committees 
charged  with  some  special  duty.  The  diligence  of  Hon.  John  I. 
Baker  has  brought  to  light  twenty-four  such  instances  now  on 
record.  That  he  was  of  a  kindly  disposition  was  shown  by  his  living 
many  years  with  only  a  verbal  agreement  with  his  brother  Joseph 
about  the  division  of  their  real  estate,  and  that  only  six  years  after 
reducing  that  agreement  to  writing  he  conveyed  his  house  and 
buildings  and  about  two  thirds  of  his  land  to  his  own  sons,  Edward 
and  Mark,  to  be  held  jointly  until  they  chose  to  divide  it.  Their 
children  were  as  follows  :

392  The  Pemberton  Fnmily.  [Oct. 


THE  PE^IBERTON  FA^IILY. 

By  Walter  K.  Watkins,  of  Boston. 

Lower,  in  his  "  Patronymioa  Britannica,"  states  that  the  family 
name  of  Pemberton  is  derived  from  the  chapelry  of  that  name  in  the 
parish  of  Wigan,  in  the  hundred  of  West  Derby,  county  of  Lancas- 
ter, England. 

The  name  is  common  to  that  county,  and  the  arms*  shown  beneath 
the  portrait  of  the  Rev.  Ebenezer'  Pemberton,  as  published  in  hia 
collected  works,  in  1727,  are  those  of  a  branch  of  the  family  in 
Lancashire,  which  was  established  in  Cambridgeshire  at  Trumping- 
ton  by  Sir  Francis  Pemberton t  in  the  last  part  of  the  seventeenth 
century.  The  family  name  can  be  found  in  Lancashire  records  as 
far  back  as  1300. 

The  Pemberton  family  of  Pennsylvania  came  from  Lancashire. 
Phineas  Pemberton,  the  son-in-law  of  James  Harrison,  agent  of 
William  Penn,  was  a  grocer  in  Bt>ulton-le-Moors,  arriving  in  Amer- 
ica in  1682  with  his'fither  "Ralph  Pemberton  aged  73."  Ralph 
may  have  been  the  second  sou  of  Ralph  and  Frances  Pemberton  of 
St.  Albans,  parents  of  the  future  judge  &c.  Francis  Pemberton  be- 
fore mentioned.  Francis  and  Ralph  were  cousins  of  the  children  of 
John  Pemberton  of  London,  who  married  at  St.  Thomas,  London, 
21  January,  lfj09,  Catherine  Angell.  John  and  James  Pemberton, 
of  New  England,  may  have  been  children  of  John  and  Catherine, 
though  this  cannot  be  positively  stated  on  such  scant  evidence. 

The  Pembertons  of  St.  Albans,  Herts.,  j  bore  on  their  arms  1  and 
4  argent  a  chevron  between  three  buckets  sable  hooped  and  handled^ 
Or.,  which  later  was  modified  in  the  arms  of  Sir  Francis  Pemberton 
Argent  a  chevron  between  three  buckets  sable. 

Thomas  Pemberton  (1728-1807),  states  in  a  letter,  20  July, 
1749,  to  James  Pemberton  of  Philadelphia,  that  his  great-grand- 
father James  (1622-1696)  came  from  Wales,  in  1680  ;  while  James 
Pemberton,  a  grandson  of  James  (1622-1696),  and  son  of  James 
(b.  1651),  addresses  Israel,  the  son  of  Phineas  Pemberton,  in  a 
letter  of  23  June,  1703,  as  loving  cousin,  writing  with  affection  and 
in  the  quaint  style  of  the  Quakers. §

1892.]  The  Pemberton  Family.  393 

John  Pemberton,  weaver,  died  atLawford,  Essex  Co.,  England, 
and  in  his  will,*  proved  25  March,  1654,  mentions  his  brothers 
William,  Richard  and  Thomas,  also  brother  James  in  New  Eng- 
land, a  sister  Eobinson,  and  daughter-in-law  Deborah  Goffe,  born 
in  Newbury,  N.  E.,  and  kinsman'john  Beeston  of  Dedham,  Eno-- 
land,  whom  he  makes  his  executor. 

John  and  James  just  mentioned  must  not  be  confounded  wiih 
James  of  Maiden,  who  died  5  Feb.,  1661-2,  and  his  son  John,  who 
died  in  1691  and  whose  descendants  lived  in  Middlesex  and  Essex 
counties,  more  particularly  at  Billerica  and  Bradford,  Mass.,  and 
Hudson,  N.  H.f 

John  (died  1654)  was  in  Boston  1632  to  1640,  (Muddy  River 
1637-8),  Newbury,  where  his  wife  died  in  1646,  and  in  England 
1654.  AVe  shall  confine  ourselves  to  the  line  of  his  brother  James, 
who  must  have  been  a  lad  of  about  eight  years  if  he  came  with 
Winthrop  in  1630,  as  the  letter  of  his  great-grandson  Thomas  would 
lead  us  to  surmise  ;i:  his  age  in  1673,  according  to  his  deposition, § 
then  being  fifty-one  years.  As  to  the  date  of  liis  marriage  we  are 
not  certain,  there  being  no  record  extant ;  the  oldest  child°was  bap- 
tized 26  December,  1647,  and  we  may  thus  approximate  the  date. 
His  wife  was  Sarah,  the  daughter  of  Alice  Marshall,  wife  of  Thomas 
Marshall,  Sr.,  of  Boston,  cordwainer,  but  whether  by  him  or  a 
previous  marriage  the  statement  from  which  we  derive  the  knowl- 
edge leaves  uncertain.  Ij  James  Pemberton  became  a  man  of 
some  note  and  infiuence,  being  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Old  South 
Church.

•  A  noted  surgeon  of  liis  day  ;  accompanied  the  expedition  to  Canada  in  1690. 

t  Mi?s  Titconib,  in  "Early  New  England  People,"  states  that  Di-.  Rv^bert  Ellis  married 
Elizaljeth,  the  daughter  of  James  an^t  Sarah  Peniberton.  As  tiieir  daughter  was  born  in 
1657,  she  was  forty-one  years  of  age  at  ttie  time  of  marriage,  fourti-en  years  older  than  her 
husband,  and  sixty-one  years  old  when  their  youngest  child  was  born  in  1718.  To  support 
this  the  will  of  James  Pemberton  (1622-1696),' dated  12  February,  lP9o,  is  given  in  the  same 
wor]«,  in  which  he  divides  the  remainder  of  his  estate  equally  "among  my  undernamed 
children  viz.  John  Joseph  Benjamin  and  Jonathan  Ptinberton  Elizabeth  Ellis  (this  should 
be  Elatson)  and  Mary  Pembertun."  The  including  of  Elizabeth  Elatson  as  abuve  must  be 
taken,  however,  as  "being  a  grandchild  of  the  testator.  As  refuting  this,  an  atSdavit  of 
George  Pemberton  (Ubi;-1737),  as  to  the  signature  of  his  brotliL-r-iii-law  Dr.  Robe.  Ellis, 
annexed  to  the  will  of  Ann  Pollard,  may  be  mentioned.  Again,  Dr.  Robt.  Elli-  makes  his 
good  friend  and  bvother-indaw  James  Pembertun  executor  with  his  wife  of  his  will.  James, 
the  son  of  J.imes  and  .Sarah  Pemberton,  went  to  Maryland  at  the  age  of  nineteen  (1670), 
and  settled  and  died  in  London  some  years  after,  presumably  while  on  a  visit  and  within 
fifty  years  of  the  time  he  left  Boston.  This  information  we  find  in  the  letter  of  Thomas 
Pemberton,  the  antinuary,  written  in  17i9.  He  therefore  could  not  be  James,  the  executor 
of  Dr.  Ellis's  will,  at  he  is  spoken  of  as  of  Boston  in  the  petition  addressed  by  the  widow  to 
the  General  Court  in  1727  for  permission  to  sell  the  real  estate.  ThatEli^Jibeth,  the 
daughter  of  Dr.  Thomas  Pemberton,  should  marry  Dr.  Robert  Ellis,  a  probable  student 
of  her  father,  is  a  iikely  circiimst;ince.

a  relic  of  the  axctext  and  honorable  artillery  compant  added  to 
ITS  Collection. — We  are  indebted  to  Albert  A.  Polsom,  Esq.  for  the  following 
cutting  from  the  Boston  Journal,  May  13,  1892 : 

The  Ancient  and  Honorable  Artillery  Company  has  discovered  a  relic  of  by-gone 
days  that  is  of  historical  interest.  Its  association  may  be  understood  by  a 
perusal  of  the  following  description  of  a  fall  tield  day  of  the  Ancient  and 
Honorable  Artillery  Company  191  years  ago,  as  recorded  in  Judge  SewalUs 
diary,  volume  2,  page  42  : 

"  Monday.  Oct.  6,  1701.  Very  pleasant,  fair  "Wether.  Artillery  trains  in  the 
Afternoon  [Sewall  in  command].  March  with  the  Company  to  "the  Elms;  Go 
to  prayer,  Z^Iarch  down  and  Shoot  at  a  Mark.  Mr.  Cushinor  I  think  was  the 
first  that  hit  it,  Mr.  Gerrish  twice,  Mr.  Fitch.  Chauncy,  and  the  Ensign  of  the 
Officers.  By  far  the  most  missed,  as  I  did  for  the  tirst.  Were  much  fontented 
with  the  exercise.  Led  them  to  the  Trees  agen,  perform'd  some  facinirs  and 
Doublings.  Drew  them  together;  propounded  the  question  about  the  Colours; 
'twas  voted  very  freely  and  fully.  I  inform'd  the  Company  I  was  told  the 
Company's  Halberds  &c.  were  borrowed :  I  understood  the  Leading  staff  was  so, 
and  therefore  ask'd  their  Acceptance  of  a  Ualf-Pike,  which  they  very  kindly  did ; 
I  deliver'd  it  to  Mr.  Gibbs  for  their  Use. 

"  They  would  needs  give  me  a  Volley,  in  token  of  their  Respect  on  this  occa- 
sion.    The  Pike  will,  I  suppose,  stand  me  in  fourty  shillings,  being  headed  and 
shod  with  Silver :     Has  this  motto  fairly  engraven : 
Agmen  Massachusettense 
est  in  tutdarn  Sponsce. 
AGNI  Uxoris. 
1701. 

"  The  Lord  help  us  to  answer  the  Profession.  Were  treated  by  the  Ensign  in 
a  fair  cliamber.  Gave  a  very  handsome  Volley  at  Lodging  the  Colours.  The 
Training  in  Sepf  was  a  very  fair  day,  so  was  this." 

The  "shod."  or  ferrule  of  above  described  half-pike,  is  two  and  one-half 
inches  long,  and  has  within  a  few  days  been  found  in  a  chest  of  the  Ancient  and 
Honorable  Artillery  Company  at  their  armor}'  in  Faneuil  Hall.  The  inscription 
is  as  follows : 

AGMEN  MASSACHCSETTENSE

AGNI  UXORIS  1701.

The  Simaxcas  ^^AP  of  1610. — I  T\i>li  to  cive  my  reasons  for  as?i,irnin,;i  1610 
as  die  'late  of  this  man,  and  to  reply  to  Mr.  Samuel  Adams  Drake's  objections 
to  this  date  in  the  Rec-isteu  of  July.  IS','2,  pp.  272,  273. 

The  file  fxadinj.  of  the  documents  in  que-tion,  is  :—'■'  Archive  general  de 
Si'inaiu-'TS  estiidii.  Lfjajo  2.5SS.  F<Aio-J2"  The  contents  oi  X.\\U  Mir,  are  the 
letter  of  March  22d,"li;il  (CLVII.),  enclosing  the  map.  CLVIII.  See  "The 
Genesis  of  the  United  States,"  pp.  4j5,  457.  These  documents  are  listed  by  the 
Secretary  of  the  Archives  as  follows  :— '■  Les'^  2.JSS.— 22.  Another  letter  from 
Velasco"to  Philip  III.  Kin^  of  Spain  dated  Loudon  22  March  IGll.  remitting  a 
Map  of  Vir.iiinia,  irhirh  i.<  inclosvd."  The  copies  of  these  documents  Averc  seat 
to  me  !\v  the  Hon.  J.  L.  M.  Curry,  properly  s  ;rued  and  attested  as  b-iny;  true 
copies,  and  sealed  as  such  with  "the  official  Archive  seal,  on  January  24th.  1SS7. 
As  soon  as  I  looked  over  the  map.  I  saAv  that  it  was  a  very  important  one.  and 
had  farther  correspondence  about  it,  in  which  correspondence  it  is  always 
alluded  to  by  the  Spanish  Secretary  as  "the  map  found  in  the  letter  of  March 
22'  1011."  These  are  not  ray  theories,  as  Mr.  Drake  has  supposed;  they  are  the 
facts. 

That  is  to  say.  the  Map  CLVIII.  is  a  copy  of  the  identical  map  inclosed  in, 
and  tiled  witli,  the  Spanish  Minister's  dispatch  of  March  22d.  1611,  just  as  the 
other  maps,  plans,  etc.  are  with  the  ori^-inal  letters  which  coutaiued  them,  and 
this  dispatch  describes  the  Map  as  follows  : 

"  This  Kincr  [James  I.]  sent  last  year  [1610]  a  surveyor  to  survey  that  Prov- 
ince, and  he  returned  here  ahont  three  months  a'jo.  and  presented  to  him  [James 
I.]  the  plan,  or  map.  of  all  that  he  could  discover,  a  copy  of  which  I  seud  your 
Majesty  [Philip  III.]." 

It  is  true  that  the  map  is  not  dated,  but  the  dispatch  is,  and  this  Axes  the  date 
of  the  map.  The  chart  of  Virginia  (^LVII.  Ibid.  i.  184)  sent  from  London  by 
Zuniira  on  Sept.  10th.  1G08,  bears  no  maker's  name  and  no  date.  Z^Iaps  were 
closely  guarded  i)y  the  manairers  of  the  American  Enterprise  and  it  is  natural  to 
suppose  that  the  names  of  the  draught-^men,  and  the  accompanying  date,  would 
be  'purp(.>sAij  ornitted  from  copies  surreptitiously  obtained  for  the  use  of  Spaiu; 
because  otherwise,  in  the  case  of  mi^carriaire,  their  names  would  implicate  the 
makers,  ^yhile  it  misht  have  been  more  satisfactory  to  have  had  the  date  on 
the  map.  it  would  not  have  been  more  conclusive.  Smith's  Map  of  Virginia 
bears  the  date  ••  IGOi! ;"  but  we  know  that  he  did  not  arrive  there  until  1607. 

I  do  not  see  that  the  objections  raised  by  Mr.  Drake  would  efl'ect  the  date  of 
the  map  even  if  it  were  not  inclosed  in  the  dispatch.  He  says,  that  ••  Champlain 
conferred  the  names  Isle  Uante  and  Jlonts  D- serfs,  and  that  his  map  was  not 
printed  till  1613;"  but  Champlain  conferred  these  names  about  September,  1604, 
and  it  is  not  to  be  supposed  that  they  lay  dormant  until  his  map  was  printed  in 
1613.  We  may  not  know  exactly  how,  or  when,  drawings  from  foreign  surveys 
were  o!)tained;  but  Ave  know  that  for  a  generation,  or  more,  English  statesraea, 
geographers  and  merchants  had  beeu  keeping  themselves  especially  well  in- 
formed re:zarding  all  foreiizn  discoveries,  etc.  And  we  knoAV  that  the  Ant'Ticaa 
enterprise,  during  Ii'>06-H;i2,  Avas  under  the  special  supervision  of  Ptobcrt  Cecil, 
Earl  of  Salisliury.  and  Secretary  of  State,  Avhose  asents  iu  France.  Spain  and 
the  Netherlands  kept  liim  Aveli  informed  as  to  all  things  relative  to  America. 
Champ'.ain  returned  to  France,  and  reported  to  the  French  Huiruenot  DeMonts, 
in  October,  1607,  and  copies  of  his  drawings — presented  to  DeMonts — may  have 
been  obtained  for  and  sent  to  Cecil  or  to  James  I.,  in  a  like  manner  as  this  map 
was  obtained  by  Velasco  and  sent  to  Philip  III.  Or  it  may  he  that  some  of 
Champlaiu's  men  Avere  afterwards  employed  by  the  English.  Poutricourt  and 
other  Frenchmen  Avere  on  the  coast  in  1606;  so  Avere  Hanhara  and  Pring.  And 
Sir  Ferdinando  Gorices  in  his  Description  of  XeAV  England,  written  many  years 
after,  states  that  Pring  brought  ••  with  him  [on  his  return]  the  most  exact  dis- 
covery of  that  coast  ttiat  CA-er  came  to  my  hands  since ;  and  indeed  he  Avas  t'ue 
best  able  to  perform  it  of  any  I  met  wilhul  to  this  present."  Pring  may  have 
met  Avith  some  of  the  French  di-<coverers,  and  may  have  obtained  copies  of  their 
charts.  B'lt.  how<_-ver  obtained,  it  seems  pro'oable  tiiat  the  draughtsman  of  ••  the 
Simancus  Map"  hud  th*'  use  of  some  of  Ciiamplain's  drav.ings  or  names,  Avhile 
it  is  evident  that  he  Avas  not  guided  by  Champlaiu's  engraved  map,  its  bearings, 
later  discoveries,  etc. 

So  far  from  ackuoAvledglng  the  force  of  Mr.  Drake's  theory  that  the  map  "  is 


402  2iotes  and  Queries.  [Oct. 

entirely  too  irood"  for  1610.  I  believe  that  thei'e  may  have  been  better  maps  at 
the  Trinity  House,  in  the  locker  of  more  than  one  old  Enirlish  raerchant-suilor, 
and  in  *■  Tlie  Company  chest  "  of  The  Viririnia  Company  of  London.  Europeans 
had  been  lishinsr  all  alonz  this  coast,  and  dryina  their  ti.>h  on  shore  for  many 
years,  and  it  ^eems  manifest  that  there  must  have  been  raannscript  charts  thereof 
more  exact  than  the  rnile  enirraved  maps,  which  were  published  either  for  some 
personal  purpose,  or  to  imjiress  the  pul)lic  miud  with  the  probability  of  a  ready 
way  to  the  South  Sea.  Those  who  were  tiie  most  apt  to  secure  exact  charts 
were,  for  coi2rent  reasons,  the  least  apt  to  ijive  their  full  knowledcje  to  the  public. 

Thus,  whde  "The  Simancas  Map"  is  far  better  than  the  contemporary 
privately  engraved  maps,  the  work  thereon  is  not  superior  to  Tindall's  chart 
of  James  River,  160S  (Ibid.  i.  151);  to  the  plan  of  St.  George's  Fort,  1G07 
(Ibid.  i.  190),  or  to  Xonvood's  KUG  map  of  the  Bermudas  given  at  the  end  of 
Vol.  I.,  Lefroy's  Memorials  of  tlie  Bermudas.  And  (omitting  White's  Carolina, 
and  the  rouzh  sketch  of  Virginia  (LVII.  Ibid.  i.  184),  which  mny  not  luave  been 
drawn  for  the  Coui;iany)  these  are  the  only  pieces  of  work  of  tlie  kind,  as  yet 
found,  which  were  done  for  the  crown  of  Euirland,  or  for  the  Virginia  Com- 
panies. Mr.  Drake  calls  attention  to  tlio  accuracy  with  which  tlie  entrance  to 
the  Kenne'.ec  is  drawn,  but  ir  is  not  more  correctly  done  than  is  the  entrance  to 
the  James,  or  the  York,  on  Tindall's  Chart  of  KJO's  (Ibid.  i.  151);  and  we  know 
that  the  mouth  of  the  Kennebec  had  been  frequently  and  well  explored  prior 
to  1611. 

In  brief,  the  date  1610  is  as  thoroughly  well  established  as  it  well  could  be. 
I  have  found  no  trace  on  the  map  of  a  later  discovery.  The  draughtsman  gives 
nothing  later  than  1610  in  the  region  of  the  new  Virginia  Colony,  and  we  may 
rest  assured  that  if  it  had  been  drawn  later  than  1(510 — or  later  than  lGl-1,  as 
Mr.  Drake  suggests — that  Forts  Henry  and  Charles,  named  for  the  sons  of 
James  I.,  and  erected  by  Lord  De  La  Warr  in  1610-11,  and  the  new  towns, 
Henrico  and  Bermudas  city,  planted  by  Dale  and  Gates  in  1611-12,  would  have 
been  located  on  the  map.  Smith's  Map  of  Virginia,  which  was  engraved  prior 
to  Nov.  5th.  1612,  was  evidently  taken  from  this  part  of  this  map,  and  the 
■  managers  of  the  enterprise  evidently  had  quite  accurate  drawings  of  this  colony 
prior  to  Kil-t,  giving  the  soundings  in  the  Bay  and  in  the  mouths  of  the  rivers, 
locating  the  settlements,  foitirications.  etc..  up  to  date. 

It  is  true  that  a  concentrated  etibrt  was  then  being  made,  on  the  banks  of 
James  river,  to  secure  a  lirm  hold  on  a  portion  of  the  New  World  for  the 
English  race  and  religion,  and  that  this  part  of  the  map  probably  represents 
the  special  work  of  the  surveyor  sent  over  by  James  L,  as  this  region  had  not 
previously  been  so  well  surveyed  by  the  English  as  the  New  England  region; 
but  farther  than  this  I  do  not  know  that  the  drauglit  was  "  made,"  as  ]Mr. 
Drake  suggests,  "  more  with  reference  to  (;)ld  Virginia  than  New  Phigland."  It 
was  made  for  James  I.,  who  claimed  for  the  crown  of  England  all  of  America 
between  3-1°  and  -lo*^  north  latitude,  and  who  had,  also,  granted  on  April  2'Jth, 
1610,  a  charter  to  the  Newfoundland  Colony,  an  enterprise  which  had  been  long 
in  view.  It  was  natural  for  .lames  I.  to  wish  to  have  before  him  a  map  of  all 
of  his  possessions  (or  claims)  in  the  New  World,  and  "The  SLinancas  ^Map " 
probably  represents  a  fair  idea  of  English  olhcial  knowledge,  up  to,  s<vj,  October 
1610,  of  the  English  claims  in  .Vmerica  from  34°  north  latitude  to  Newfoundland. 
Sir  George  Somers.  in  the  winter  of  160'J-10,  made  a  drau;;ht  of  the  Bermudas, 
"  exactly  and  full,"  which  is  not  included  in  this  map;  but  James  I.  did  not  lay 
claim  to  that  island  until  after  1610.  It  may  be  that  Somers,  also,  made  draw- 
ings of  Virginia  and  of  the  New  England  coast  in  1610,  and  if  so  these  may  be 
included  in  ••  The  Simancas  Map." 

I  agree  with  Mr  Drake  in  t'linking  that  "  it  would  be  interesting  to  know  the 
sources  from  which  this  map  was  taken."  I  think  that  the  North  Carolina 
portion  embodies  the  surveys  of  John  White  ;  that  the  colony  of  Virginia,  where 
the  letter  and  figure  references  are  used,  represents  the  special  work  of  the 
surveyor,  who  Vclasco  said  was  sent  over  by  James  I. ;  that  the  coast  line  from 
the  Chesapeake  bay  to  "Elizabeth's  He"  was  "made  good"  by  Argall's  water 
survey  in  August,  1610  (Ibid.  i.  436— 13s)  -.  that  the  Hudson  river,  up  to  the  Fork, 
embodies  the  careful  survey  thereof  made  by  Hudson  in  160'J,  and  that  Huds'in's 
notes  may  have  been  used'  on  the  draught  of  portions  of  the  Atlantic  coast. 
From  "Elizabeth's  He"  northward  was  evidently  drawn  from  painstaking  sur- 
veys. The  portion  south  of  the  Penobscot  possibly  embodies  the  surveys  of 
Gosnold,  Weymouth  and  Pring's  "  most  exact  discovery ;"  while  to  the  north

record  of  the  inventory,  administrator's  mesne  and  final  accounts,  etc..  ^vas 
made.  In  some  cases  the  administrator's  final  account  gives  the  names  of  the 
heirs,  but  in  most  instances  it  does  not.  The  records  of  tlie  administrations 
had  under  the  authority  of  the  colonial  courts  appear  to  be  tolerably  complete 
from  a  very  early  date,  and  are  in  a  good  state  of  preservation. 

In  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  the  state  supreme  court,  iu  the  State  House  at 
Annapolis,  are  several  manuscript  volumes  wlucli  contain,  among  other  thiuirs, 
petitions  that  were  presented  to  tlie  colonial  legi^hltnre  by  immiLcrants,  asking 
to  be  naturalized.  These  documents  frequently  atl'ord  much  information  con- 
cerning the  petitioner,  by  giving  the  place  and  date  of  his  birth,  an  account  of 
his  marriage,  the  number  of  his  children,  the  date  of  his  arrival,  his  occupation, 
etc.  It  was  the  rule  xor  a  private  act  to  be  passed  granting  such  a  petition.  In 
the  year  17(35,  the  Rev.  Thomas  Bacon  compiled  all  the  acts  of  the  colonial 
legislature  passed  from  its  rirst  session  till  then,  and  caused  the  same  to  be 
printed.  The  compilation  fills  a  large  folio  volume,  includes  the  private  natu- 
ralization acts  that  had  been  passed,  and  has  an  index. 

The  most  valuable  source  of  information,  if  the  parish  registers  be  excepted, 
are  the  records  of  -wills.  These  are  in  a  good  state  of  preservation  and  are 
well  indexed.  In  general  character  they  do  not  differ  much  from  similar  records 
in  other  colonies. 

All  of  the  above  records  made  in  any  part  of  the  colony  prior  to  the  year 
1777,  are  kept  at  Annapolis.  In  that  year  the  colonial  legislature  passed  a  law 
which  required  to  be  kept,  at  the  county  seat  of  each  county,  records  of  land 
transfers,  probate  proceedings,  wills,  marriage  licenses,  etc.  All  records  per- 
taining to  land,  in  any  county  iu  the  state,  dated  prior  to  1777,  are  stored  in 
what  is  known  as  the  Land  bfiice.  Ail  wills  proved  in  the  colony  up  to  that 
year  are  in  the  ofiice  of  the  Register  of  Wills  at  Annapolis,  who  is.  however,  an 
oflicer  of  Anne  Arundel  coimty.  The  manuscript  volumes  which  contain  the 
records  of  probate  proceedings,  accounts  of  administrators,  guardianship  mat- 
ters, etc.,  up  to  1777,  are  in  the  custody  of  the  last  named  officer. 

Prior  to  the  year  1777,  no  civil  record  of  marriages  was  kept  in  the  colony. 
But  the  law  of  that  year  relating  to  records  provided  for  the  issuance  of  mar- 
riage licenses  by  the  clerks  of  the  circuit  courts  of  the  respective  counties.  As 
each  marriage  license  blank  was  charged  to  the  account  of  the  court  clerk  to 
whom  it  was  issued,  as  so  much  money,  by  the  state  treasurer,  the  /ecipieut  of 
the  blanks  was  impelled  by  a  pecuniary  consideration,  to  keep  a  strict  account 
of  his  disposal  of  them ;  hence  in  eac'a  cotmty  is  a  fairly  complete  record  of 
marriage  licenses  issued. 

At  no  time  has  there  been  kept  in  Maryland,  under  any  requirement  of  civU 
law,  a  record  of  births  or  deaths.  There  is  now,  and  has  been  for  some  years, 
a  law  requiring  births  to  be  reported  to  and  recorded  by  the  clerk  of  the  circuit 
court  of  the  county;  but  the  law  is  inoperative. 

Persons  desiring  to  procure,  by  correspondence,  information  from  records  in 
MaiTland,  may  address  the  following  officials:  For  data  from  land  records 
prior  to  1777,  Chief  Clerk,  Land  Office,  Annapolis.  For  data  from  wills,  admin- 
istration records,  etc.,  prior  to  that  year,  Register  of  Wills,  Annapolis.  For 
information  concerning  early  naturalizations.  Clerk  Supreme  Court,  Annapolis. 
For  information  from  laud  records  and  mamage  licenses  since  1777,  Clerk  Cir- 
cuit Court,  at  the  county  seat.  For  information  from  wills,  administration 
records,  etc.,  since  1777,  Register  of  Wills,  at  the  county  seat.  For  names  of 
present  taxpayers.  Clerk  County  Commissioners,  at  the  county  seat. 

The  main  reliance  of  the  genealogist  working  in  Maryland,  for  dates  of  birth 
and  death,  and  of  marriage  prior  to  1777,  are  the  parish  registers.  Unfortu- 
nately these  are  very  imperfect,  and  none  of  them  now  iu  existence  date  back 
to  the  early  years  or  the  settlement  of  the  colony.  Baltimore  county  was  or- 
ganized about  forty  years  before  it  could  boast  a  regularly  settled  pastor.  No 
doubt  the  settlers  habitually  practised  religious  worship,  though  without  a 
settled  minister,  but  the  oldest  parish  register  in  that  county,  whose  people 
settled  a  region  since  divided  into  several  counties,  does  not  date  back  earlier 
than  the  closing  years  of  the  17th  century,  and  it  is  stated  tiiat  there  is  not  a 
parish  regi->ter  extant  in  the  State  containing  records  of  birth,  marriage  and 
death,  in  regular  order,  earlier  than  hi'M. 

Thus  no  record  exists  from  which  can  be  gleaned  the  names  and  dates  of  birth 
of  the  first  generation  of  children  born  in  the  colony,  and  in  a  large  proportion

of  cases  the  same  may  be  said  of  the  second  sreneration.  Nothina;  can  com- 
pensate for  this  lack  of  information  relative  to  the  second  and  the  third  irener- 
ations  (countina:  the  immiu:rants  the  tirst)  of  the  inliabitaiits  of  Maryland,  and 
the  genealoirist  must  ever  meet  ^vith  difficnlty  and  perplexity  in  assitrnin?  chil- 
dren to  parents,  and  in  respect  to  dates.  Barring  this  one  great  lack,  the  State 
abounds  in  genealogical  and  historical  data. 

But  the  tifld  is  an  uncultivated  one.  The  wealth  of  information  embraced  in 
the  vast  accumulations  of  records  at  Annapolis  and  in  some  of  the  older  counties, 
is  difficult  of  access  from  lack  of  convenient  arrangement  and  indexes,  and  a 
surprisingly  small  amount  of  it  has  ever  found  its  way  into  print.  The  State 
Legislature,  at  its  last  session,  was  appealed  to  for  an  appropriation  to  defray 
the  expense  of  prepaiing  an  index  to  the  administration  records  dating  prior  to 
1777,  but  refused  to  make  the  expenditure.  There  is,  however,  a  growing  in- 
terest in  local  history  and  genealoirical  pursuits,  and  it  is  doubtless  only  a  ques- 
tion of  time  when  the  lesi>latnre,  orlicials  and  people  of  Maryland"  will  be 
aroused  to  the  necessity  of  bringing  forth  the  recorded  truth  relating  to  her 
founders,  and  making  it  accessible  to  all  the  world.  B.  F.  CciniLNGS,  Jk.

The  Editor  wouhl  inform  the  Society,  that  the  sketches  prepared 
for  the  Register  are  necessarily  brief  in  consequence  of  the  limited 
space  which  can  be  appropriated.  All  the  facts,  however,  which  can  be

settlers  of  Gloucester,  ^lass.  William  Hutchinsrs  left  a  son.  William  Vinceut* 
Hutchinirs  of  Gloucester.  Avho  was  first  lieutenant  of  the  sloop-of-war  Herald 
durinir  the  short  %var  ■with  France  in  170S.  Lieut.  IIutchin<rs  subsequeutly  left 
the  naval  and  entered  the  mercantile  service,  and  commanded  the  sliip  Mrtssachu- 
setts  belon.iiing  to  Col.  Thomas  H.  Perkins  of  Boston,  said  to  have  been  the 
first  American  slap  that  e^er  visited  Japan.  He  afterwards  became  a  merchant 
of  Boston,  Avhere  he  died  r^Iay  25.  1810,  at  the  asre  of  47.  leaving  a  son  William, 
who  was  born  at  Gloucester,  married  in  1823  Hannah  Gase.  dauiriittT  of  Hon. 
Israel  Trask  of  Gloucester,  and  died  at  sea  while  captain  of  the  ship  Xde  on  the 
passage  from  Matanzas  to  Smyrna,  Dec.  3,  1824.  of  yellow  fever.  Col.  Ilutch- 
ings's  maternal  grandfather,  Hon.  Israel  Trask,  was  in  the  Continental  army 
during  the  siege  of  Boston,  and  many  years  subsequently  was  a  member  of  the 
council  of  Governor  Levi  Lincoln. 

Col.  William  Viuceut  Ilutclungs  was  the  only  child  of  Capt.  William  and 
Hannah  Gage  (Trask)  Hutchinirs,  and  was  born  at  Gloucester,  Dec.  3,  1824, 
within  an  hour  of  his  father's  death.  His  early  education  was  received  at  the 
Beverly  .Vcadeiny  aud  at  the  Boston  Latin  School,  entering  tlie  latter  institution 
in  the  class  of  183-3.  In  ls40.  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  he  commenced  his  business 
career  as  a  clerk  in  a  dry  goods  store  in  New  York  city,  but  this  not  proving 
congenial,  he  became  a  clerk  in  the  Mercantile  Mutual  Insurance  Company  of 
New  York  in  1842.  In  this  line  of  usefulness  he  succeeded  so  well  that  he  be- 
came successively  secretaiy  and  second  vice-president  of  the  company.  In 
1857,  he  returned  to  Boston  and  established  here  an  agency  for  fire  and  marine 
risks,  representing  his  old  Xew  York  company,  the  Delaware  Mutual  Safety 
Insurance  Company  of  Philadelphia,  and  the  Xew  York  Mercantile  Tire  Insur- 
ance Company.  In  this  position  he  became  prominent  and  very  successful  in 
all  matters  relatinir  to  insurance. 

But  Col.  Hutchings  had  other  aspirations  besides  those  of  success  in  business. 
He  possessed  a  good  deal  of  that  martial  spirit  that  characterized  both  his  pa- 
ternal and  maternal  ancestors.  His  interest  in  military  atlairs  was  very  early 
manifested,  and  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Kebellion  he  was  commissioned  by  Gov- 
ernor Andrew  quartennaster  of  the  Fourth  Battalion,  Ma^sichusetts  Volunteers, 
commanded  by  Major  Thomas  G.  Stevenson,  with  the  rank  of  lirst  lieutenant. 
With  this  battalion  he  remained  for  a  month  at  Fort  Independence.  Boston 
Harbor,  charged  with  the  duty  of  providing  rations  for  the  Massachusetts 
troops  on  their  way  to  the  seat  of  war.  Major  Stevenson  soon  after  re- 
cruited the  Twenty-Fourth  Regiment,  with  Lieut.  Hutchings  as  quartermaster. 
This  regiment  left  for  the  front  in  December.  18tll,  and  joined  the  army  of  Gen. 
Buruside  at  Annapolis.  This  force  soon  after  proceeded  to  Xorth  Carolina, 
where  it  captured  Roanoke  Inland,  Xew-Berne  and  Washington.  Col.  Stevenson 
was  then  promoted  to  the  rank  of  brigadier-general,  and  on  the  2Cth  of  Novem- 
ber, 1802,  Lieut.  Hutchings  was  advanced  to  the  rank  of  assistant  quartermaster 
of  the  United  States  army,  with  the  rank  of  captain,  and  attached  to  Gen. 
Stevenson's  brigade,  which  was  the  First  Brigade  of  Gen.  Foster's  division.  He 
was  appointed  provost  marshal  of  Washinurton.  N.  C.  The  briirade  was  subse- 
quently ordered  to  Hilton  Head,  S.  C,  and  daring  this  campaign  Capt.  Hutch- 
ings Avitnessed  the  attacks  on  Fort  Sumter  and  Morris  Island,  and  at  the  siege 
of  Fort  Wagner  he  had  cliarge  of  the  transportation.  Gen.  Stevensou's  briirade 
soon  after  Mas  attached  to  the  Tenth  Army  Corps  under  Gen.  Q.  .V.  Gilmore. 
aud  the  Army  of  the  James  under  Gen.  B.  F.  Butler.  Capt.  Ilutcldngs  was 
assigned  a>  acting  chief  quartennaster  of  the  Tenth  Army  Corps  on  the  Cth  of 
May,  18<)4.  While  on  this  service  he  was  present  at  the  sieires  of  Richmond 
aud'  Petersburg.  On  the  re-organization  of  the  Army  of  the  James,  Capt. 
Hutchings  was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  lieutenant-colonel  aud  chief  quarter- 
master of  the  Twenty-tlfth  .Army  Corps  under  Gen.  Weitzel.  Dec.  4,  1804. 
Gen.  Weitzel  commanded  the  first  troops  that  entered  Richmond  on  the  3d  of 
Aprd,  18<15,  and  with  this  commander  and  Gen.  Shepley.  Col.  Hutchinss  had  the 
distinguished  honor  of  receiving  President  Lincoln  on  the  steps  of  the  former 
residence  of  Jetterson  Davis.  Col.  Hutchings  soon  after  resigned  his  commis-

George  B.A.XTEn  Hyde,  A.M.,  elected  to  resident  membership  in  the  society 
Dec.  7,  1881,  and  a  life  member  the  following  year,  1882,  died  in  Boston  on  the 
8th  of  July,  18^'J,  at  the  aire  of  78  years  and  tliree  months.  Mr.  Hyde  was  one 
of  the  most  etficient  and  successfulof  the  old  Boston  school-masters.  He  was 
a  younger  son  of  Joshua  and  Sally  (Fay)  Hyde  of  Stnrbrid<je.  Mass.  His  father, 
Joshua  Hyde,  was  a  son  of  Ben"jamin  and"  Dorcas  ("Dyeri  Hyde  of  Sturbridge, 
and  was  born  Dec.  12,  17G2,  at  that  town,  and  was  married,  Dec.  11.  17'J4,  to 
Sally  Fay  of  Brookfleld.  Slie  was  a  native  of  Westboro'.  Ma-<s.,  where  she  was 
born  Feb.  12,  1775.  The  sul^ject  of  this  sketch  was  born  at  Sturbridge,  March 
20,  1811,  and  received  his  early  education  in  the  schools  of  that  town.  Later  he 
was  tanirht  at  the  academies  of  Dudley.  Leicester,  Amherst  and  Andover.  Mr. 
Hyde  began  the  career  which  was  destined  to  be  his  life  work  about  the  year

the  first  principal  «jf  the  Dwicrht  School  in  Concord  street,  Boston,  wlien  that 
instituti(Mi  was  lir-t  established.  The  school  was  named  for  Hon.  E<lnuind 
Dwight,  who  presented  it  with  a  small  library  of  reference  books.  The  late 
Mr.  George  H.  Allan,  an  active  member  of  tlie  Xew-England  Historic  Genealo- 
gical Society,  was  one  of  the  first  medal  scholars  at  this  school  under  Master

Hyde  in  lS4f;.  ;Mr.  Hrde  continued  at  tlie  head  of  the  Dwight  School,  which 
Tvas  a  school  for  both  sexes,  for  sixteeu  years.  In  18(;0  he  was  appointed  prin- 
cipal of  the  Everett  School  for  trirls.  havin^r  previously  had  charire  of  the  girls' 
department  of  tlie  Dwight  School,  which  liad  been  moved  to  Si)rinirtield  street. 
Mr.  Ilyde  was  the  tirst  master  of  the  Everett  School,  which  was  estabiislied  on 
Northampton  street.  Boston,  in  ISGO,  and  named  for  Hon.  Edward  Everett. 
Here  he  remained  for  eirrhteen  years,  and  here  he  reached  his  hitrhest  snccess  as 
a  teacher.  Alludimr  to  his  career  at  this  school,  on  his  retirement  therefrom  in 
in  June,  1878,  ]Mr.  Hyde  said  : — 

"  Therp  has  been  my  paradise;  that  is  the  place  where  I  have  enjoyed  most; 
that  is  the  place  where  the  kindest  reception  was  given  me.  Many  circum- 
stances occurred  to  make  this  a  pleasant  school.  In  the  tlrst  place  we  had  a 
good  house,  an  airy  and  well  ventilated  place,  with  good  accommodations.  Mr. 
Everett  came  in  to  see  us  many  times  during  his  life,  and  was  at  every  exhibition 
except  one,  and  then  he  was  away  delivering  his  lecture  on  Washington  through 
the  country.  Everything  has  been  favorable  to  make  this  a  pleasant  school,  a 
happy  school.  Out  of  all  the  eighteen  years  that  I  have  been  there,  for  more 
than  fourteen  years  there  never  has  been  a  mlsdemoamor  marked  on  my  books. 
It  was  an  ovation  of  happiness  for  me  to  meet  my  pupils  day  by  day,  and  now 
you  know  the  secret  of  my  lingering  and  trying  so  lonii  to  get  out  of  the  school. 
I  could  not  leave  it.  and  tliat  is  the  reason  I  stayed ;  but  I  shall  make  out  to  get 
away  this  time.  Wiiatever  I  may  be,  and  whatever  faults  I  may  have,  I  am  a 
better  man  than  I  should  have  been  if  I  had  not  had  those  pupils  to  teach. 
Their  fidelity,  their  courtesy,  their  gentleness  and  every  female  virtue,  won  ray 
heart,  and  they  doubtless  have  won  and  will  win  others." 

After  his  retirement  from  school  teaching  in  1878,  in  which  vocation  he  had 
served  for  nearly  half  a  century,  Mr.  Hyde  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Boston 
School  Committee,  where  he  served  for  seven  years.  On  the  tjth  of  June,  1830, 
he  was  married  to  Mary  Whitten  C'lapp.  daughter  of  Jason  Clapp.  He  received 
his  degree  of  Ma.-?ter  of  Arts  at  Harvard  University  in  18<J1.  He  left  no  children. 
The  ifyde  Gramniar  School  at  Boston  Highlands  Avas  named  for  this  veteran 
school-master,  and  at  its  dedication  in  1885  he  announced  the  close  of  his  con- 
nection with  the  Boston  schools.  Mr.  Henry  D.  Hyde,  lawyer  of  Boston,  is  a 
nephew  of  Master  Hyde.

The  Story  of  the  Discovery  of  the  Xeic    World  by   Columhus.      Compiled  from

In  these  days  of  many  and  prolix  authors  it  is  refreshing  to  take  up  a  book  like 
that  before  us.     It  contains  a  concise  and  well-written  outline  of  the  life  and  work 
of  Columbus,  and   is  a  valuable  introduction  to  the  larger  works  relating  to 
him.      People  in  tins  bus\',  hurrying  age.  need  just  such  books  as  this:  books 
free  from  verbiage  and  repetition  and  yet  full  enough  to  give  an  accurate  ac- 
count of  the  life  and  personality  of  the  sul)ject.     Mr.  Sanud<;rs  has  evidently 
made  a  careful  study  of  the  literature  regarding  Columbus  and  has  the  happy 
faculty  of  expressing  his  thoughts  clearly  and  forcibly.     He  has  drawn  to  some 
extent  upon  the  work.^  of  other  biographers  of  Columbus;  namely,  Irving,  Las 
Casas,  Major,  Ros>eUy  de  Lt^nrues,  ilurrisse,  Tafducci  and  oth<Ts.     U'lien  we 
Cou.>ider  that  it  ha>  bci-n  e-timatt-d  that  about  six  iiuiidred  author-  have  \vritten 
upon  Columbus  and  that  there  is  a  much  larger  literature  relatiiiir  indirectly  to 
hira,  we  are  in  the  way  to  realize  the  magnitude  of  the  Columbian  literature,  and 
the  wonderful  eifect  wrought  upon  history  by  his  discovery  of  the  New  World.

The  subjects  named  on  the  title-pasre  are  all  treated  in  a  thorough  and  satis- 
factory manner.  Besides  the  memorable  trial  on  Penenden  Heath,  there  named, 
in  1076,  '•  in  -which  an  Archliishop  of  Canterbury,  and  a  brother  of  the  King — and 
he  '  the  Conqueror' — were  the  contending  parties,"  the  Heath  was  the  scene  of 
other  historic  gatherings.  On  it,  "  so  tradition  has  it,  in  the  year  1381,  Wat 
Tyler  found  a  rallying  point  for  his  Kentish  malcontents,  gathering  here  the 
nucleus  of  that  formidable  body  of  some  ten  thousand  men,  with  whom  he  for 
a  time  succeeded  in  endangering  the  peace  of  the  City  of  London,  and  the  very 
person  of  the  feeble  Richard  the  Second.  Here  too,  probably,  was  a  similar 
scene  exacted,  on  a  smaller  scale  "  by  Jack  Cade  in  1450. 

The  history  of  the  Abbey,  now  in  ruins,  of  the  ancient  church,  and  of  the 
clergy,  many  of  whom  were  conspicuous  for  their  abilitj ,  and  some  of  whom 
attained  high  dignity  in  the  church,  is  here  given  fully  and  in  an  interesting 
manner.  The  parish  registers  begin  in  155S  in  the  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth. 
Extracts  are  printed  in  this  book  tillinc:  thirty-six  paires.  Boxley  was  the  seat 
of  the  Wiats,  to  which  family  belonired  Sir  Thomas  Wiat  the  poet,  whose  grand- 
son. Sir  Francis  ^Viat,  was  governor  of  Virsrinia.  A  tabular  pedigree  of  the 
TV'iat  family  and  of  the  Marsham  family  inheriting  Wiat  blood,  noAv  represented 
by  the  Earl  of  Rodney,  is  given.  There  are  here  also  biographical  sketches  of 
members  of  the  Wiat  family  and  other  persons  connected  with  the  family  and 
the  parish.  George  Sandys,  the  poet, — who  spent  some  years  in  Virginia,  and 
while  her^  translated  the  last  books  of  Ovid's  Metamorphoses,  "  the  tlrst  Eng- 
lish literary  production  of  any  value  that  was  written  in  this  country,  " — made 
Boxley  a  frequent  place  of  sojourn,  and  died  and  was  buried  there. 

The  book  is  well  printed  and  is  illustrated  with  engravings,  among  which  are 
portraits  of  Sir  Thomas  Wiat  the  elder  and  Sir  Thomas  Wiat  the  younger.  Sir 
John  Finch,  Lord  Fordwick,  and  George  Sandys;  and  views  of  Boxley  Church 
and  the  remains  of  Boxley  Abbey.     There  is  a  good  index.

This  volume  is  a  very  valual>le  contribution  to  the  genealogical  literature  of 
this  country.  It  is  compiled  and  edited  by  Messrs.  William  Ogden  Wheeler  and 
Edmund  D.  Halsey  of  Morristown,  N.  J.  It  contains  the  inscriptions  on  the 
tombstones  and  monuments  in  the  burial  grounds  of  the  two  churches  in  Eliza- 
beth, N.  J.,  named  on  the  title  page.  The  settlement  of  Elizabethtown,  now 
Elizabeth,  is  said  to  have  been  the  tirst  within  the  bounds  of  New  Jersey  made 
by  New  England  people.  The  First  Presbyterian  Church  was  formed  near  the 
close  of  the  seventeenth  century,  and  St.  John's  Church  is  nearly  as  old,  the 
comer  stone  of  the  first  building  having  been  laid  on  St.  John  the  Baptist's  day, 
1706.     The  burial  grounds  were  laid  out  very  early. 

The  two  grave  yards  contain  2325  stones,  but  some  of  the  stones  contain 
several  inscriptions.  All  of  these  inscriptions  have  been  copied.  This  has  been 
done  with  great  care.  They  are  printed  line  for  line;  and  fifteen  of  the  head- 
stones, tablets,  monuments  and  tombs  have  been  engraved,  showing  their 
appearance  and  reproducing  their  inscriptions  in  facsimile.  Maps  of  both  burial 
grounds  are  furnished.  They  show  the  location  of  every  stone.  Views  of  both 
churches  are  also  given.  The  book  contains  a  good  index.  It  makes  a  hand- 
some octavo  volume  and  is  bound  in  cloth.  It  is  not  published,  but  a  few  copies 
can  be  obtained  at  the  above  address  at  the  price  named.  "  For  fastidious 
collectors  who  prefer  their  books  untrimmed,"  it  is  announced  that  "a  few 
copies  have  been  left  in  sheets." 

Messrs.  Wheeler  and  Halsey  deserve  great  credit  for  the  thoroughness  and 
accuracy  with  which  they  have  done  their  work.  They  will  receive  the  thanks 
of  every  true  genealogist.

forward  the  interest  of  the  institution  of  -uhich  he  has  been  an  officer  for  about 
seventeen  years. 

At  the  last  annual  meeting;  of  the  society  a  new  departure  v^-as  made.  Tvs-o

of"  Delegates,  to  a  large  assemblage  of  members  and  invited  guests,  among 
whom  were  many  members  of  the  state  legislature.  The  experiment  was  so 
successful  that  it  is  probable  that  the  example  will  be  followed  in  future. 
The  papers  read  at  the  two  sessions  of  tlie  general  meeting  are  of  a  high  order 
and  are  printed  in  this  volume.  The  authors  of  the  papers  are  Prof.  James  i£.

The  two  works  before  us  arc  by  the  Rev.  Frederick  W.  Weaver.  M.A.,  a  con- 
tributor to  the  Register,  whose  antiquarian  and  genealogical  books  have  from 
time  to  time  been  noticed  in  this  journal.  The  work  ou  Canon  Bruton  is  re- 
printed from  the  Downside  Review.  That  on  Bishop  Chard  was  read  before 
the  Somersetshire  Archaeological  and  Natural  History  Society  on  Wednesday, 
August  19,  1891,  in  the  Abbot's  Hall,  Ford  Abbey,  built  by  Chard  about  1520; 
and  has  been  reprinted  from  the  Proceedings  of  that  society. 

Richard  Bruton,  Canon  and  Chancellor  of  Wells,  flourished  in  the  reigns 
of  Henry  IV.  and  Henry  V.  He  was  a  native  of  Bruton,  Somersetshire,  and 
died  at  London  in  1-117.  At  the  time  of  his  death  "he  held  the  Prebend  of 
Netherhayne,  in  the  church  of  Chulmleigh  (Devon)  and  also  the  Prebend  of 
Bodmin,  "in  the  church  of  Endellion  (Cornwall)."  His  -u-ill  was  dated  at  Lon- 
don, Oct.  30,  1417,  and  shows  him  to  have  been  a  rich  man  and  also  a  very 
charitable  one.     An  abstract  of  his  will  is  printed  in  this  pamphlet. 

Bishop  Chard  was  a  character  of  some  prominence  in  ecclesiastical  history  in 
the  reign  of  Henry  VIII.  He  was  consecrated  bishop  in  1508  with  the  title 
"  Episeopus  Solubriensis,"  that  is.  Selymbria  in  Thrace.  He  was  abbot  of  Ford 
at  the  dissolution  of  the  monasteries,  and  in  15.o9  surrendered  Ford  Aboey.  He 
died  probably  at  Taunton  about  1544.  Mr.  Weaver  prints  his  wiU,  which  was 
proved  at  Wells  Oct.  16,  1544. 

These  two  pamphlets  contain  much  new  matter  concerning  these  ecclesiastical 
worthies,  which  2rlr.  "SVeaver  has  been  able  to  bring  to  light  in  his  antiquarian 
researches. 

Tfte  Pageant  of  Saint  Lusson,  Saidt  Ste.  Marie,  1671.     A  Commencement  Ad- 
dress at  the   University  of  Michigan,  June  30,  1S02.      By  Justin  Wixsor. 
Cambridge  :  John  Wilson  &  Son.     University  Press.     1892.     8vo.  pp.  34. 
Dr.  Justin  Winsor  in  his  address  at  the  University  of  Michigan,  at  the  last 
commencement,  June  30,  1892,  chose  for  his  subject  the  imposing  pageant  at 
Sault  Saiute  Marie,  June  14,  1671.  when  Daumont  de  Saint  Luson  addressed  the 
gathered  tribes  of  Indians  assembled  for  that  purpose,  and  solemnly  took  pos- 
session in  the  name  of  Louis  the  Fourteenth,  King  of  France  and  Navarre,  of 
the  vast  western  territory.     Mr.  Winsor  lirst  shows  us   '-.the  conditions  which 
had  brought  events  to  such  a  pass  that  a  representative  of  the  French  King,  just 
at  this  time  and  precisely  at  this  spot,  had  found  it  meet  to  proclaim  the  sover- 
eignty of  France  over  a  vast  area  where  France  possesses  to-day  not  a  rood  of 
territory."

He  erraphicallv  describes  the  many  ineffectual  efforts  to  find  a  rrestem  passage 
to  India;  and  tlie  rivalry  of  France  and  England  to  obtain  control  of  the  northern 
portion  of  thi>  continent,  as  well  as  the  scene  at  Sault  Ste.  Marie.  Ho  then  gives  a 
narrative  of  the  events  which  led  to  the  final  extinction  of  the  French  power  in 
North  America.  "It  fell,"  he  says,  "to  Washinijtou's  share  to  tire  the  first 
shot  in  the  Ion?  war  which  reached  a  decision  on  the  Plains  of  Abraham;  and 
within  two  years  more  the  lily  fla?  had  come  down  at  Detroit  and  Mackinac. 
The  Appalachians  had  disappeared  more  completely  than  the  Pyrenees  in  the 
vision  of  Louis  the  Fourteenth.  It  had  taken  ninety  years  from  the  time  when 
Saint  Lusson  threw  down  the  gaire,  for  the  meteor  fiag  to  reach  the  Sault. 
Dreuillettes.  an  old  man  of  eighty-eight,  had  fallen  into  his  irrave  at  Quebec  long 
before  the  time  when  English  courage  and  constancy,  which  he  had  so  long  ago 
recognized,  thus  reached  its  natural  goal.  The  negotiations  for  a  confirmed 
peace  at  Paris  in  17G3  were  hardly  less  cardinal  than  the  defeat  of  Montcalm  at 
Quebec." 

Dr.  Winsor  shows  a  mastery  of  his  subject,  and  his  address  throws  new  light 
on  interesting  puicions  of  our  history. 

Columbian  Fair  Edition.     The  Discovery  of  America  by  Christopher  Columbus.

Dr.  Hcrry  Hakes  of  Wilkes-Barre,  in  January  last  delivered  a  lecture  in  that 
place  before  the  Young  Men's  Hebrew  Association,  on  the  "  Discovery  of  Amer- 
ica," which  was  hiirhly  spoken  of  by  the  local  newspapers.  The  favorable  re- 
ception which  his  lecture  received  has,  wo  presume,  induced  him  to  prepare 
this  small  volume  on  the  same  subject.  "  The  mass  of  mankind  in  this  hurry- 
ing age"  he  says  in  his  preface,  "  "uiU  neither  purchase,  peruse  nor  possess 
the  extensive  literature  pertaining  to  the  '  Discovery  of  America.'"  He  hopes. 
however,  that  the  work  he  has  compiled  will  be  found  to  "  contain  a  sufliciently 
fuU  historical  statement,  to  elucidate  the  great  event  the  world  is  preparing  to 
commemorate."    Dr.  Hakes's  book  will  be  found  a  very  useful  volume.

This  is  the  title  of  the  first  sermon  preached  within  the  limits  of  what  is 
now  Manchester,  N.  H.,  which  was  printed.  It  has  been  reprinted  "  verbatim, 
literatim  et  punctuatim"  (May,  1S'J2),  by  :Mr.  S.  C.  Gould  of  Manchester,  who 
has  long  been  a  collector  of  books  and  pamphlets  relating  to  that  place.  The 
edition  consists  of  seventy-five  copies  only.  The  sermon  is  by  Rev.  Joseph 
Seccombe  of  Kingston,  'S.Tl.,  who  dedicated  it  to  the  Hon.  Theodore  Atkinson 
using  the  pseudonvm  of  Fluviatulis  Piscator.  The  author  was  born  at  Boston, 
Mass.,  .June  25,  170*5;  grad.  H.  C.  1731,  and  died  Sept.  15,  17e;0.  I  think  he 
was  a  cousin  of  Rev.  John  Seccombe  (H.  C.  1723),  the  author  of  Father  Abbt-y's 
Will.  The  original  edition  of  the  sermon  is  very  rare,  only  five  perfect  copies 
being  knov\-n  to  be  in  existence,  ilr.  Seccombe  gives  much  sound  practical 
advice  to  his  hearers. 

One  Hundred  Tears  of  the  Hartford  Bank,  now  the  Hartford  Xational  Bank.

Two  financial  institutions  in  Connecticut  complete  this  year  a  century  of  their 
existence,  namely,  the  Union  Bank  of  New  London  and  the  Hartford  (National) 
Bank,  both  being  chartered  at  the  same  session  of  the  Connecticut  General 
Assembly.  The  second  of  these  institutions  commemorates  the  event  by  issuing 
the  volume  before  us. 

The  Hartford  Bank  was  organized  June  U.  1792.  Only  four  State  banks  an- 
tedate the  two  Connecticut  banks:  "  the  Bank  of  Xorth  America  of  Philadel- 
phia, incorporated  by  an  ordinance  of  the  Continental  Congress,  Dec.  31,  17>1, 
and  chartered  by  Pennsylvania  in  March,  17.-<2;  the  Bank  of  New  York,  organ- 
ized and  in  active  operation  in  1734,  but  unable  to  secure  a  charter  till  March 
21,  1791;  the  Massachusetts  Bank,  chartered  Feb.  7,  1734,  and  the  Providence

age.  There  are  17.976  other  names  indexed,  makin?  a  total  of  over  twenty-eight 
hundred  names.  The  author  says:  "My  original  design  for  publisliing  the 
second  edition  of  Thurston  GenealoLries  was  to  reproduce  all  that  the  first  edi- 
tion contained  and  such  additions  as  I  have  been  able  to  collect.  But  the  addi- 
tions were  so  voluminous  I  found  it  necessary  to  leave  out  the  wills,  lengthy 
history  of  individuals,  and  some  historical  matter,  amounting  to  one  hundred 
and  thirteen  pages,  which  appeared  in  the  first  edition.  In  all  such  cases,  how- 
ever, I  have  referred  to  the  omissions  in  foot-notes,  giving  the  pages  where 
they  can  be  found.  The  number  of  these  references,  being  nearly  one  hundred, 
shows  that  both  volumes  will  be  required  to  make  the  history  complete."  "  The 
book"  he  adds,  "  is  not  a  mere  collection  of  names  and  dates,  bat  in  every  case 
where  it  was  possible  the  business,  residence  and  relision  is  given,  making  it  a 
readable  book  as  well  as  one  of  reference."  The  book  is  well  printed  and  bound, 
and  is  embellished  with  twenty-one  fine  portraits.     It  has  an  excellent  index. 

The  next  title  on  our  list  is  one  relating  to  the  family  of  French  and  its 
armorial  bearings.  It  contains  much  information  about  the  heraldry  of  the 
families  of  French,  Franc,  ic,  whicii  will  be  particularly  interesting  to  persons 
of  the  name.  The  preface  contains  a  history  of  the  name  from  the  earliest  time 
when  surnames  were  used.  The  body  of  the  work  gives  under  each  form  of 
the  name  the  various  arms  used  and  the  locations  of  those  who  used  them. 
Though  the  author  has  been  able  to  show  the  residences  of  a  large  number  of 
those  bearing  the  surname  French  in  England,  he  is  still  collecting  materials  on 
the  subject,  and  will  be  thankful  for  any  new  information  as  to  the  names  of 
the  townships  and  counties  in  whicli  the  families  were  located,  as  well  as  addi- 
tional infonnation  about  their  coats  of  arms  prior  to  the  year  1650.  The  book 
is  handsomely  printed. 

The  next  work,  that  on  the  Pemberton  Family,  is  by  a  lady  of  "^Vesterly,  R.  I., 
who  is  a  descendant.  The  book  has  been  privately  printed  for  the  use  of  the 
family.  The  Pembertons  have  been  conspicuous  in  New  England  history,  and 
this  book  in  which  their  history  is  recorded  will  be  welcomed  by  genealogists. 
The  typographical  appearance  of  the  volume  is  excellent. 

The  King  broadsiue  is  a  companion  to  the  pedigree  by  the  same  author,  noticed 
by  us  in  July,  devoted  to  the  descendants  of  William  King  of  Salem.  The 
present  work  gives  some  of  the  descendants  of  David  Kiuge  of  Lynn,  Mass., 
who  was  a  son  of  Ralphe  King  of  "Watford,  Hertfordshire,  England.  The  two 
tabular  pedigrees  are  compiled  in  a  thorough  and  careful  manner,  as  are  all  of 
the  publications  of  ilr.  lung  of  Yonkers.

he  himself  married  Anne  Nash,  a  "niece  of  Georire  Nash  and  sister  of  the  Tliomas 
Kash  whose  marriage  connected  this  family  with  Shakespeare.  There  seems  to 
have  been  a  colony  of  Stratford  families  settled  there  in  Sonthwark.  and  it  is 
not  at  all  improbalde  that  Shakespeare  was  a  frequent  visitor  at  the  house  of

to  be  set  in  a  public  library  be  given  away  to  such  as  they  may  be  useful  to 
and  want  them.  The  residue  l' appoint  for  a  public  library  whereto  such 
as  my  trustees  appoint  shall  have  access  for  the  perusal  of  any  book  in  the 
place  where  they  are  lodged.  I  ordain  my  executors,  with  the  advice  of 
my  trustees,  to  purchase  some  or  other  freehold  edifice  in  some  cheap  and 
convenient  place  without  or  within  the  walls  of  the  City  of  Loudon  (as  a 
Throwsters  workhouse  or  the  like)  with  one  room  for  a  single  person 
whom  they  my  Trustees. shall  from  time  to  time  trust  to  keep  the  said  books, 
v,-hereof  two  catalogues  shall  be  kept,  one  by  the  Keeper  of  the  Library, 
one  by  such  as  the  Trustees  shall  name  of  their  own  number  (wherein  any 
other  person's  gift  of  books  may  be  inserted,  under  them  the  names  of  such 
donors  as  shalfadd  to  the  said  Library).  And  the  said  Trustees  shall  pay 
ten  pounds  per  annum  to  the  said  Library  Keeper  (a  young  preacher  seems 
fittest  for  it).  If  no  fit  edifice  can  be  procured  then  a  small  piece  of  ground 
shall  be  bought  and  a  building  erected  for  this  purpose  (not  pompous  or  too 

large)  &.c.  tttmt

Gyles  Elbridge,  the  testator,  was  one  of  the  patentees  of  the  Pemaqnid 
grant.  On  the  29th  of  February,  1031-2,  the  Pre-ident  and  Council  of  New 
England  granted  to  "  Robert  Aldworth  and  Gyles  Elbridge  of  the  City  of  Bris- 
tol, merchants,"  twelve  thousand  acres  of  land  '•  near  the  River  comonly  called 
or  known  by  the  name  of  Pemaqnid."  and  also  one  hundred  acres  for  every 
person  transported  thither  by  them.  The  patent  is  printed  in  the  R.'port  of  the 
Massachusetts  Commissioners  on  the  Land  Titles  of  Lincoln  County.  Maine, 
May  20,  1811,  pp.  33-9,  and  in  Ancient  Pemaqnid  by  .J.  Wiu2:ate  Thornton  in

copy  having  been  veritied  by  the  notarial  copy  preserved  in  the  library  of  the 
American  Antiquarian  Society,  ilr.  Thornton,  on  page  22G  of  the  above  work, 
calls  Gyles  Elbridge  a  nephew  of  Mr.  Aldworth,  and  states  that  Aklworth  died 
in  1634  and  the  patent  then  became  the  propcity  of  Mr.  El'tji  idge.  at  whose  de- 
cease and  that  of  his  eldest  sou  .John  it  passed  to  the  second  sou  Thomas  about; 
the  year  1647. 

As  early  as  1650  Thomas  Elbridee  was  in  Xe^v  England  and  had  his  resi- 
dence at  Pemaqnid.  Here  he  made  grants  of  lands,  held  courts,  tried  causes 
and  punished  ofl'ences.  On  the  10th  of  December,  1650,  he  mortgages  to 
Abraham  Shurt  the  island  of  Monhagan  by  a  deed  in  which  he  describes  himself 

•  It  was  from  Elbridire  Gerry,  a  descendant,  that  the  political  term  "  Gerrymnnder" 
(pronounced  with  the  hard  sound  of  G,  not,  as  our  English  friends  call  it,  "  Jerrymaader  ")

From  the  late  Hon.  MarshaU  P.  Wilder,  Ph.  D  ,  LL.lJ.,  of  Boaion.  —  -'No  other  work  is 
so  rich  in  uiaterinls  \vlncli  give  an  insight  into  the  history  of  the  people  of  New  England, 
their  manners,  customs  ami  moJe  of  living  in  bvgone  days." 

From  the  late  Col.  .Tiseph  L.  Cheiier.  LL.D..  D  C.  L..  of  London,  England  — '-To 
me  the  work,  of  wliich  I  possess  a  complete  set,  is  invaluahle.  I  consult  it  constantly,  r.'./t 
oiily  for  matters  relating  directly  to  Americans,  but  also  in  reference  to  Emilish  families 
of  the  seventeenth  century,  concerning  whom  these  volumes  contain  a  vast  amount  oi  in- 
formation not  to  he  found  elsewhere  There  are  no  hooks  in  my  library  that  I  would  not 
sooner  part  with  than  my  set  of  the  Register." 

From  the  lion.  -I.  Hammond  Trumbull,  LL.D.  Hartford,  Cvm..  Ex-Pres't  of  Ihe  Conn. 
Hi.it.  Sac.  —  '-Almost  every  week  I  find  occasion  to  search  the  indexes  for  historical  or 
g.m^alogical  material  not  to  be  found  elsewiiere,  and  which,  but  for  the  Kegistek.  \voL;!d 
not  have  been  preserved.  The  jiromises  of  its  projectors  have  been  more  than  fulSUe'. 
Every  succeeding  volume  enhances  the  value  of  the  series  as  a  work  of  reference.  To 
stu  lents  it  is  no  longer  merely  a  convenience:  it  has  become  a  necessity." 

From  the  late  WilJiam  Cnllen  Brxjnnt,  New  York.  —  "I  think  highly  of  tho  Xew- 
ExiiEAViJ  lIisT<jRiCAL  AND  Geneal'x.ical  Re(;ister,  It  prcscTves  many  facts  of  interest 
which  would,  but  for  such  a  repository,  be  soon  forgotten."' 

From,  the  Rer.  Alonzo  H.  Quint,  D.  D.,  Dover,  X.  IF.  —  "A  single  old  document, 
recently  discovered  and  published  in  the  Register,  I  should  have  counted  cheap  at  the 
cost  of  the  whole  set." 

From  ihe  Hon.  Chas.  H.  Bell,  LL.D.,  Ex-Prest  of  the  Xew  Hampshire  Ihstorical 
Societf/.  —  "  There  is  scarcely  a  work  in  the  library  of  a  historical  reader  which  could  not 
be  spared  with  less  inconvenience." 

From  Harper's  Magazine.  —  "It  is  an  admirable  repository  of  those  family  fact.?  and 
details  which  are  always  interesting  and  useful,  and  an  agreeable  miscellany  of  all  kinds 
of  historical  and  antiquarian  information.  It  has  active  assistance  from  historical  and 
family  students  in  all  parts  of   the  country." 

From,  Notes  and  Queries  (London).  —  '•  Many  of  the  papers  areas  interesting  and  im- 
portant to  English  as  to  American  reailers.  as  they  contain  valuable  iletails  respecting 
several  Anglo-American  families  probably  not  to  be  obtained  elsewhere." 

From  the  Western  Christian  Advocate  {Cincinnati). — '-It  is  the  oldest  work  of  the 
kind  in  the  world,  and  yet  is  ever  fresh  and  valuable.  It  is  also  one  of  the  very  few 
j)uiilications  that  increase  in  pecuniary  value  as  ttuy  grow  in  age.  every  succe>sive  voluniij 
h.iviag  a  value,  for  permanent  preservation,  greater  than  the  suliscription  price." 

From  the  Danville  (  I'a.)  Times.  — "  Its  pages  are  a  continued  conservatory  of  original 
documentary  matter  of  the  past,  of  inestimable  value  to  th.3  historian,  and  of  deep  interest 
to  the  general  reader,  presenting  vividly  successive  pictures  and  phases  of  the  varying 
manners,  customs,  and  traits  of  our  forefathers,  thereby  furnishing  a  key  to  our  naliorial 
progresij." 

From  the  Boston  Evcninj  Transcript. — '•  Indispensable  to  the  historian  and  antiquarv."
